Thankyou for your thoughts. I'm glad you have been able to experience and enjoy a variety of Videogame RPGs without feeling the need to hate them for not being "perfect".
Every game I play has aspects that I would prefer were implemented differently, but generally I simply observe what the game is offering, and work out how I will play it in for my own enjoyment. If the game is highly configurable and/or open to mods, this is obviously much easier.
BG3 seems to be much better in terms of plot/story/experience construction than earlier Larian games, and this is the most imporant aspect for me. There are some issues like time of day, weather, environmental activity ( flocks of birds, animals and "people" moving about etc. ) that would improve the experience, but I won't worry too much if that doesn't change.
Other issues like mechanics, you just do the best with what you have, since you will never please everyone. Personally, if I think something is silly, and I don't have to use it, I will ignore it in favour of my idea of role-playing the character. I may suggest modifications or alternative if I think it worthwhile, but there is no real chance that Larian can make the 100s of different versions of the mechanics that might satisfy everyone, so I never have an expectation of changes.
