Studios consider Baldur’s Gate 3 anomaly : “It’s Rockstar-level nonsense for scope” Update: Confirmed Blassic

well dragons dogma has actual combat at least. unlike BG3...So that's not fair to dragons dogma when they are attempting actual....gameplay lolI’m interested in other AAA franchises having to step their game up because of this.
Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Dragon’s Dogma are all on notice.
If their shyt ain’t poppin at least graphically
I already know they won’t have nearly 1/4 the customization and interaction
I don't get why the devs are scared...the Witcher 3 attempted this in 2015 with better graphics and a live combat system that would translate better on consoles. because of that, I'd say it was more ambitious.
cyberpunk definitely was looking to put devs on notice prior to release. and from a presentation, tech, and gameplay standpoint it was certainly more ambitious than BG3. and that game encroached on more developers aims, being that they aren't making turn based games anytime soon.
personally I would want a non turn based game to be the bar raiser. True next level shyt.
not...a point and click.

This is ignorant
The only thing this game is “raising the bar” in is story content, writing, dialog, presentation, etc.
Which is cool, but it’s also why devs are pushing back a little. Every game can’t and shouldn’t be expected to have this much story content, dialog etc. It worked out for Larian, but other devs shouldn’t be chasing that standard. They should build their games to their own strengths.

It raised the bar for all role playing systems
Saying this raised the bar for all role playing games is like saying Final Fantasy 7 raised the bar for all RPG's.
JRPG, WRPG, ARPG and CRPG are vastly different.

Dialog options
dunno who needs to hear this but all forms of combat are valid and none are more valid than others.
tactical turn-based is as valid a kind of combat as hack'n'slash as RTwP as FPS as TPS as card battling as combo-heavy fighting games. And there have been RPGs that use all of them.
If we want to get pedantic, one of the biggest selling games with RPG mechanics in the world have 'combat sections' that involve a ball, a field and comparatively little violence

Dialog options
Everything, dialogue, problem solving, quest design, stat building, exploration, combat strategy, party management and interaction, relationships, etc.
Everything that makes a role playing game a role playing game

Again it’s just a wealth of content. Nothing is overly unique or innovative that we have not seen in other games, there’s just a lot of it.

We’re not talking about it being unique, we’re talking about it raising the bar. If other rpg makers can’t do half of this stuff on par people are going to start to take notice
But that’s stupid.
Games don’t need hundreds of hours of dialog/story content to be good.
All that leads to is higher and higher budgets. Devs should be trying to innovate and create in their own ways instead of spending more and more money on content.

Thats what people want in role playing games.
No they don’t.
Lots of great role playing games that are nowhere near the size of BG.

And thats why they are what they are. Bethesda has been bragging about how many lines of dialogue it has recorded for starfield for two years now lol
Its no coincidence the game yall are most excited for is promising to be a big ass rpg game
