To add some context , i am not a old baldurs gate player, nor a table player, i buyed because is a larian's game and i like their work, and AD & D universe is much rich, in fact i play neverwinter mmo, and played neverwinter nights 2 + mask of betrayer. I sense larian wanted to make a AD & D game, while TWOK wanted to profit from the name of the franchise, and older gamers want a baldurs gate game in the essence. About mechanics, if the game was rtwp i would not had buyed, even if some gamers like the style it is not for me, the only rtwp game i buyed until today is pillars of eternity, because the story and characters were too good to not try. And if i remember in a table game people take turns and play dice, so a digital turn based game it is not wrong. For a early version is working better than some games who are very broken even in the final version, of course loading of textures and some animations are with problems, but in beta stage this is expected. I admit there is a lot of influence from divinity way in the game and this will alienate a lot of AD&D players, what can hurt the sales in the final version, feedback of players can still make a lot of difference here.
Totalitarism in a box, atmosfere is depressing, as it should be, controls are simple, the cartoonish style gives impact, and right and wrong are a double edge knife when the government owns you, and everyone.
It is a touching story, not much of game mechanics, really minigames only are a nuisance, but the story compensates for that..
