    I’m sorry the terminology is so vague and inconsistent, and I’m so disengaged from “gaming” culture and behind on genre labels that I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about. Do you mean the genre formerly known as “point-and-click adventures”, like Disco Elysium?

      No, I’m not talking about adventures. Just look up some gameplay videos for Baldur’s Gate 3.

          Did you actually look at the gameplay or did you stop after the first still image showed that Diablo and BG3 both have a top-down perspective and general medieval fantasy theme?

          That’s worse than saying Call of Duty and Counter Strike are identical. You shoot guns and play against other people in both, but they’re significantly different experiences. You can play deliberately in COD or run and gun in CS, but that isn’t what each game rewards. The focus of each game is drastically different. CS doesn’t have killstreaks like in COD, and Diablo doesn’t have comprehensive roleplaying like in BG3.
