The lead designer of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim has discussed the difference in design philosophy between Bethesda games and Larianās Baldurās Gate 3.
Iāll bite. Show me the Old Testament RPG where a dead mother figure is standing in a coffin in an assassin cult, and Iāll concede. Hereās your chance.
You seem like a decent person. A lefty who loves cats? Definitely my jam. But man, youāre just terrible at arguments.
You canāt just spit opinions and expect people with actual knowledge to agree with you.
I get it, you love Skyrim and you want to think itās a genius piece of art which invented everything. But itās simply not true. Itās a just a rewriting of very old stories. Like almost every RPGs to be honest - and the books LOTR, and the books GOT, and everything Fantasy really - but thatās not the point.
I simply hope you donāt make political arguments the way you led that conversation, because damn that was bad.
I didnāt even play Skyrim until 2020. I think itās like a B-. You have no idea where Iām coming from opinion wise. I didnāt say an opinion. Iām saying that BG3 was influenced by Skyrim. Thatās all Iāve tried to say this whole time.
This is legitimately not an opinion that Iāve tried to convey. Itās insane to me that you think the impact is 0.00000%. Itās not a coherent thought. Itās like saying my uncle didnāt have any impact on me because my dad is older than he is.
Iām not arguing an opinion. I am not mad at this or debating a position. Iām stating a fact and am being told itās not a fact. Iām shocked that you donāt understand what Iām trying to say. If you think Iām arguing, then you must not understand what Iām trying to say.
If you are upset by what Iām saying, then I am genuinely concerned. I donāt know what part of what Iām saying can be so wrong that you feel the best to argue. This is surreal to me. Can you acknowledge what Iām trying to say?
My entire statement is āSkyrim had a non-zero impact on Baldurās Gate 3ā. Do you understand that is what Iām saying?
Or maybe youāre just so unbelievably stupid you donāt even know what the Old Testament is ? Gotta admit Ā«Ā Old Testament RPGĀ Ā» is a fun way to talk about the Bible.

I just canāt count how many movies since the very fucking 1900Ā“s got that very fucking scene.
How creative it would be if someone put that scene in an RPG, wouldnāt it? Like Ā«Ā Radio on the InternetĀ Ā» if you can get that joke.
Well, maybe you should start with fucking Diablo 1 then.
Donāt forget to wash your teeth before going to sleep kiddo.
So you canāt name one. Got it. Lol
Look, kiddo, let me pontificate for a minute.

Not one instance then? Huh. I guess you arenāt right.
LMAO
