I think you just nailed how I feel about BG3. The anticipation was sky high when I realised the long awaited sequel to two of my favourite games of all time was impending. After spending many hours in BG3, having been initially seduced by the graphics mostly, I realised I felt empty playing it (I disliked the companions, game mechanics and didn't feel immersed in the world at all); nothing was compelling me to play more other than being stuck in the middle of a pandemic lockdown and wanting to kill time. I haven't played in over a year.
