No one said you can't enjoy bad things. They are still bad though.

The guys/gals just want to play a game that is reasonably challenging for players unfamiliar with that and is not a meme level of RNG BS.

So what is the excuse for the bad writing, immersion braking artificial mechanics shoved in your face, the constant skip from 3rd to 1st person for pre rendered cinematics, the lack of impact of decisions etc.
None of these things affect the 'difficulty'.

Tactician mode was a joke in previous releases and will be a joke in this one. You are ignoring all the problems except this one as you feel you have a basis for this argument and while I'm not about to throw neuroscience articles at you what you said doesn't address anything other than mechanics which larian has never ever been good at.


The writing in BG3 is good to me, unless the whole lore dump hero thump thing:
"I am lord tallywag from galandria, second son to the great bimplewig, slayer of targoth and founder or the town of bragom. Hail good sire, shall we off on a grand adventure from this tavern? My it twill be a good morrow upon whence we gather our specifically six other allies, including a doe eyed female cleric who is very nice to me and never says bad things at all about our relations. Come, I am the hero and everyone is less important than me with little interference to how awesome I am!"

I really don't get why BG3 writing is considered bad by you guys. Immersion breaking artificial mechanics may be bad scripting where you took an action but no one changes in accordance to that. Sure those things should be fleshed out, but the characters themselves are great to me (again this is my subjectivity against yours, so we most likely will not agree because there are not objective points to discuss other than our feelings. Pretty pointless huh?).
