With the success of massive RPGs like Baldur’s Gate 3 that actually offer player choice again, Peterson is excited to release his game to an audience that does want more again. After a rough period of RPGs where player choice and ingenuity were watered down, there’s now a hunger for more branching paths and player freedom.
Well, the illusion of choice mostly.
That always takes the fun out of games for me. You can do whatever, but there’s a correct way of following the story, which is subconsciously grasped by the community and thrown down your throat if you deviate and complain you are having issues.
Yes, it is fine as long as they dont advertise “a huge branching story”, when really there’s only a handful of endings. If you dont count random game over screens.
BG3 has a lot of dialogue options, but they rarely change the outcome of the story.
