If anything, I feel like people are bending over backwards trying to find reasons to hate.

Sometimes it feels as if, but I don't fully agree here.
I think it's ok to point out things one finds noteworthy - and while I don't get a feeling of cringe about anything in this game (I had one in D:OS2, but it was very minor), I can understand that some people may feel different.
However, so far I enjoyed my time with BG3 a lot, it's a game which still in EA provides MUCH more fun and playtime than many titles by big publishers (looking at Electronic Arts and Activision).
On the other hand: criticizing is not hating, I understand that one can feel this way about naming of the characters - to my ears they all sound nice and I really feel like that the companions are who they are.
Looking forward to more adventures with my gang. <3
