That and it's a tire-screeching exit from the abusive road we thought gaming was going down. Microtransactions, lootboxes etc. Baldur's Gate 3 is refreshing from that perspective and, like me, I think many are amazed that it's actually working.
I see nothing revolutionary about a game not having things like microtransactions and loot boxes. Those are mostly restricted to multiplayer games, and the industry never stopped making good single-player games without that bullshit.
Even a lot of the AAA single player games have day 1 DLCs with skins or 15 different deluxe packages for preorder or something similar though
Doesn't need to be the in-game microtransactions but it's very rare today that everyone starts out with the same stuff in AAA games today
But bg3 is a multiplayer inspired game.
Bg 1 and 2 set the rpg world on fire. 3 lived up to the hype.
Not just multiplayer-inspired. Fully multiplayer start to finish, if you want
