But I think I get it and it was itneresting. Maybe you're right about not talking about the other games but I would try to make people realize BG3 was missing a point.

About the NPCs...
I wouldn't begin a big argue for many reasons : the efforts I have to put to write in english, the difficulty to compare a game to an EA, et caetera ( ;p ).
More I save my opinion for later even if I already point some things I don't appreciate in BG3.

But I would like to talk about it, later, for fun and to exchange our poitn of view. But, in french, it would be much more easy for me ! xD
(But I would say I ever think the romance in BG2 was pretty good, without talking about the NPC mods which came later)

About the ankheg you rushed in a hard zone for a beginner ! It's normal to have been raped by it. xD
Personnaly, the first time I enter the Nashkell's mine I have been killed by kobolds I was traumatized. I did all the other map, thinking Nashkell was the ultimate goal ! I even kill basilics ! Imagine my level when I go back to the mines...


Haha, I figured there was a language barrier a bit there, but your english is better than my japanese so you win!

It wasn't so much that you shouldn't talk about other games, it was more that you skimmed over the BG1/2 parts with a general "they were more fun and I liked them" statement and then dived into what you didn't like in BG3, but what wasn't covered were the things you liked to the level of detail you did about things you didn't like on BG3. A list of lists like

Things I liked about personalities of
- Boo and Minsc
- My babe Imoen!
- Jaheira
- Xzar

Things I didn't like about personalities of
- Boo and Minsc
- My babe Imoen!
- Jaheira
- Xzar


Things I liked about story of
- Boo and Minsc
- My babe Imoen!
- Jaheira
- Xzar

Things I didn't like about story of
- Boo and Minsc
- My babe Imoen!
- Jaheira
- Xzar

Because if Imoen was, and she WAS, adorable and awesome and fun because the voice acting was enthusiastic, her personality of highly engaging and excited, and also not being that great in battle and dying a lot too made a loveable, squishy, ridiculous character that brought energy to the party. Everyone in the BG3 party currently drains the energy. They are there to deflate you and one of the things in pnp D&D is to make a character who loves adventure! Its an adventure! game. Having people that are worried about blowing up at any second.... it still is nice having someone who is a Steve Irwin, Crocodile Hunter or Minsc who you will never be able to put down and brings that smile to your face. That is missing in BG3 - Gale is not Steve Irwin and definitely not a Minsc!

Stuff like that is nice to hear about because theres a lot to dislike about certain things right now, but being able to point to what mechanic worked in the other ones would be very interesting to see your perspective on, I can tell youre passionate about it!

What is the problem you are solving? Does your proposed change solve the problem? Is your change feasible? What else will be affected by your change? Will your change impact revenue? Does your change align with the goals and strategies of the organizations (Larian, WotC)?
