What is up with Baldur's Gate 3? (beehaw.org)

This is not a criticism - I love how much attention this game has been getting. I'm just not understanding why BG3 has been blowing up so much. It seems like BG3 is getting more attention than all of Larian's previous games combined (and maybe all of Obsidian's recent crpgs as well). Traditionally crpgs have not lit the world on fire in this way. Is it just timing of the release? Is it a combo of Divinity fans and new D&D fans and Baldur's Gate oldheads all being stoked about this release for their own reasons? Or something else?

Note:I have not played it yet myself, just curious what folks think?

Yeah because Twitter is not a real place. The actual D&D community spoke with their wallets and they said "we like a good, finished product without stupid terms of use" and all bought BG3. People who don't even play D&D bought BS3 to play with folks who do play D&D.

First you draw an "S" . . .
then you draw a more different "s" . . .

Trogdor ended up being the big bad of my brother-in-law's homebrew campaign that he ran for our family D&D group

It's not small, it's just further away.

Hey momma, I'm not small I'm just really really far away, hoo-ha!

I honestly have no idea how that posted, so when I got your reply I was very confused.
