I think it's because every limitation was justified in universe rather than because the game says so. "You can't go over there, you need a boat to cross the river" is fine. "You can't go over there, the path doesn't go over there" feels awful I think it's also because they still give you space to explore within the linear path. Yeah you have to go to town A before town B, but you can explore town A. In open world games, you can go to the towns in any order, but the exploration of each town is very bland. --- You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending. -Misattributed to CS Lewis |

Feeling special is a vibe, not something that can replicated. It's just like saying "but they didn't add my nostalgia!": it's not a thing that can just happen. When I say special, I mean that each section is different from the other. It isn't just a flat open map. Also look at my original post you responded to. I stated the entire thing as an opinion, and why the world design made it special to me. You then turned it to some random argument about combat and "development control." What made BG3 great for me is it reminded me of older final fantasies. --- You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending. -Misattributed to CS Lewis |

Once again, an irrelevant thing. I am not making any argument that they made a game that you didn't enjoy, just that it was the most dense amount of development control that the series has ever had. What does that even mean? What is "development control"? My whole point was that the world and quests felt special, and you turned it into some other thing. --- You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending. -Misattributed to CS Lewis |

Being linear doesn't mean crap all for the devs not having it be their tightest experience. In fact, that is part of the reason it *is*. Stuff like the level locking mixed with the highest tuning on fights give it leagues more on that metric than any other mainline game (obviously spin-offs can trump it in a couple of cases). The thing is, I actually prefer linear games. FF13 just took it to a ridiculous level. The classic FFs were linear, but they let you explore with that catered space. The FF13 map was a literal line. All the cool stuff you see is just the background. They may have developed other stuff, but they did not develop the world at all. --- You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending. -Misattributed to CS Lewis |

Older FF's have the main quest be the chores. "Go get that rat tail", "go find my boat", etc. Similarly it is highly dubious to act like the newer ones weren't "built piece by piece" when FFXIII is far and away the most involved from the devs the series has gotten yet you strike me as someone who disliked it. FFXIII was literally a straight path corridor for everything until the end. Then it had generic open world bullshit. Acting like main quests are the same as the go kill 7 rats in the sewer fetch quests later FFs have is just disingenuous. --- You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending. -Misattributed to CS Lewis |

BG3 isn't really comparable to Final Fantasy, so that's a fail. What made BG3 great for me is it reminded me of older final fantasies. I never cared much for turnbase, but what is great about older final fantasies and bg3 is that the world and quests feel like they are designed piece by piece. Every part feels unique. Character and NPC dialogue feels like the writers are sharing jokes with the player. Final fantasies after 10 has that disgusting MMO type gameplay where it feels like you're doing chores for quests, and it's more of a spectacle than a game. --- You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending. -Misattributed to CS Lewis |
