Why not point out any specific part that you think is wrong. That way I can explain what I mean and why I mean it without having write another 17 paragraphs.

Thats exactly my question. What is hyperbole and what is your genuine criticism?

If you don't like the aesthetics of the game because it has bright colours, okay that sounds weird for me, but I get it that it may grade on your eyes.

It not being a single player game, BG3 is already a much more single-player focused title than Larian's previous big hits and this is still something they are working on by their own admission, so we can presume they will get even better with it.

4 members party is the standard for 5e edition, so that's on the system they are trying to implement. And just to point this out, they are actually doing a great job bringing a tabletop game to another medium (this is one of my bigger criticism for Owlcat games in general, that they don't really adapt just copy ttrpgs and it shows because there is a bunch of material in their games that make no sense in the framework of a pc game).

About their story and companions. Aside from maybe Gale (whose backstory gives me powergamer vibes, I admit), the companions are not demigods. Shadowheart is a junior cult member whose sect does not give a damn whether she lives or dies. Wyll has a pact with a fiend for revenge backstory (Dorn says hello), Astarion is a bit eccentric yes, but there is a whole fanclub around him already so people must have resonated with him. And Laezel is very much your standard githyanki massmurderer.

And I dont mind being one of a dozen when it comes to my hero. This is not a game bout the Bhaalspawn, which story is finished. This is a game about adventurers. I am with you on the point that I am hoping for a backstory for our custom heroes as well; at least some NPCs whom we will recognise when we enter Baldur's Gate or the Underdark.
