    I don’t know, I think the BG branding on top of it did help with the hype because of BG2’s reputation and existing fanbase. The D&D aspect is definitely a bigger deal though.

    Ultimately I think it sold well because it’s a really good game that was easy to turn into fun memes and clips. Plus early access meant there were a ton of people who already played it which helped the hype even more.
