    Why is BG3 not BioWare if it evolved on its own merits? You don’t even have a point you’re trying to make. You just want to tell me that I’m wrong. In order for me to be wrong, one of the most influential games ever would have to have zero influence on the development, funding, or reception of Baldur’s Gate 3. You don’t have any argument because I literally can’t be wrong about it.

    • If Larian tried to make a game that wasn’t Skyrim, it’s still a positive impact that Skyrim had.
    • If Larian wanted to make one of the best RPGs, then they’d have to make it better than Skyrim. Net impact, good.
    • If Larian wanted to make a business case for why they deserved $100M to develop, then they pointed to the success that Skyrim had as validation.

    If you think that no one in the 6 years of development compared the game to Skyrim in any way whatsoever or any game inspired by Skyrim, then you have an opinion so dumb that it’s not worth talking to you.

      Skyrim is not the most influential game ever… you’re timeline is broken by your own ignorance.

      I don’t have « a point to make » for someone who’s just spitting nonsense.

      You keep repeating the same BS.

      I gave you facts you keep ignoring.

      • Skyrim’s and Baldur’s Gate gameplay are nothing alike.
      • Skyrim wasn’t the first nor the most successful game ever.

      I gave you historical references that you keep ignoring too.

      Not arguments. Facts.

      Now live in a fantasy if you want. Why should I care?

        You admitted that you don’t have a point. Lol. I’m going to go play a rogue/fighter/wizard and fight dragons and have my choices impact the outcome and be a dragonborn and have mods.

            Those are things in both games, numb nuts.

            Or what about the mother figure in the dark cult of assassins?

            Night Mother from Skyrim

            Orin's Mother from BG3

              Do you really think Skyrim invented the trope of the Mother figure?

              Are you that much illiterate?

              For fuck sake, open a damn book.

                I thought you said the only thing that influenced BG3 was BG1 and BG2. Now I have to read books?

                  Play BG1 and BG2 if you can’t read…

                  At this point I’m expecting you to tell me that BG3 copied Skyrim because there are Elves and Dwarfs and Dragons in both of them…

                  You do realize that the Mother figure in both Skyrim and Baldur’s Gate is a representation of Lilith, first wife of Adam and mother of all demons right? Which is a figure at least as old as the fucking Old Testament? Right? Have you ever heard about Dante’s Hell?

                  Now, do you realize how ignorant you look like right now?

                    I’ll bite. Show me the Old Testament RPG where a dead mother figure is standing in a coffin in an assassin cult, and I’ll concede. Here’s your chance.
