I generally dislike everyone making a video out of everything, because I can parse and digest information in a much more time-efficient manner if it's presented to me in writing.
So thank you for the summary, it actually made me curious enough to check out your video.
I find myself agreeing with your comments on cinematography and the issue of BG3's cinematics in general. They're poorly made, often unnecessary, and their presence is generally more jarring than helpful. Less is indeed more, as they say.
Your take on the companions strikes me as more personal and therefore more contestable. In particular, their similarity, as presented, only really holds up when generalization and broad strokes are used to describe them. What is certainly true, though, is that they're taking the spotlight away from a non-origin character, something that remains just as true as it was in DOS2, despite Larian's self-professed attempt to rectify the issue.
