Its really depth? I think Larian is "smoke and mirrors". They kinda are those Magic Standup dudes. That short "mute" dude and the big fellow.
If Larian's style is smoke and mirrors, they need something firm and lasting imho, like good gameplay and characters etc.
The gameplay is amazing in BG3 - just incredible fun. I realize that this can be seen as somewhat subjective but I love the hell out of the freedom the game gives you for all kinds of shenanigans. Once the crafting system is implemented and the game is completed it's going to be probably the only game I play. I have a Discord server filled with all the multiplayer Chads I could find that are eagerly awaiting the finalization of this game/platform - we have...plans.
As to Characters, well, that is more of a mixed bag. I very much enjoy Shadowbae and Bae'zel (Jennifer English and Devora Wilde) and Astarion can be fun but I always feel he is a nod to the Twilight crowd, Wyll is incompetent, and Gale is just the worst.
Thankfully in Multiplayer we kill (or knock out) all these people from the start so they don't bother us in camp. So Larian can create all the terrible PC companion they want, that just means more killin'...
