Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Just remove 90% of cinematics and focus on the game

Finally! I was waiting for a topic on this!
Cinematics are alright for important dialogue events. Cumbersome and slow for minor stuff.
In general I hate them. They look clumsy, will feel OLD in a couple of years. The acting is cringy. That 3-4 variation of head swirling/look when listening to other characters speak gets old very FAST. Dont get why people adore them. After 1 hour they are annoying as hell. GIVE ME A TOP DOWN DIALOGUE OPTION (like when you talk to animals lol....)

On another note.

I believe this overuses of cinematic dialogues in BG3 is its greatest weakness. Because of those, LESS PLAYABLE NPCs and NO MODDED PLAYABLE NPCs. Way LESS dialogue options and lore. The resources put into the cinematics could of gone into a bigger more detailed world with day/night cycles, 6 party members, more NPCs, quests, UI improvement, MORE OF EVERYTHING WE WANT.

Basically apart from fixing critical bugs, Larian will be fixing cinematics up to release. I doubt other stuff will drastically change due to this.

But hey, as someone already mentioned, that's what modern gamers, especially console gamers, expect....
