Even if you don’t like the BG3 campaign…

That’s crazy. The campaign was one of the best computerized D&D adventures I’ve seen published to date.

Neverwinter 1 & 2 lived on for a long time because of this.

I enjoyed the Neverwinter toolkit, but the graphics were still so blocky and clunky. There’s a polish to BG3 that, I think, will draw in a bigger audience.

Also, a big beautiful modding toolkit can have so many knock-on effects. Half-Life gave us a rich basket of spin-offs, from Team Fortress to Counterstrike. Starcraft and Warcraft popularized us a slew of new game styles, like Tower Defense and DOTA. Fingers crossed that we get something similar from BG3.
