[QUOTE="Prakriti, post: 7930096, member: 6855149"] Until yesterday, I had no idea people could be so upset over BG3. I'm really kind of stunned by some people's negativity. However, one thing that kind of stuck out for me was the lack of interesting NPCs. All the characters we've seen so far have been young, attractive, and mostly human in appearance. Where are the crotchety dwarves, the goofy gnomes, the alien lizardfolk, and the goodnatured halflings? It would be a shame if all the characters followed the same pattern. (They all seem to be snarky so far too, which gets tiring fast. Can we get at least a few characters who are actually friendly, optimistic, and supportive?) It reminds me of going from Final Fantasy 7, with its diverse cast of characters ranging from toy cats to mutant lions to burly dudes with a gun for an arm, to Final Fantasy 8, which featured a cast of... nothing but young, attractive people. So yeah... I hope we see more interesting NPCs going forth. [/QUOTE]
