One big problem for BG3 is that you are dropped in the middle of nowhere with no clear direction. The most effective way of worldbuilding is "show, don't tell" but BG3 has nothing to show.
Compare it to the Pathfinder games where you quickly get an overview about the part of the world. Kingmaker: A kingdom close to civil war and a stretch of wilderness to be tamed. Wrath: A demon portal and crusaders holding them back with a magic fence.
Compared to that you have no idea what is going on in BG3. You are in the middle of nowhere, there are squid people which want to transform you (the most clear part) and you need to get to a city to get the tadpole out. Except you don't as the tadpole is suddenly no threat anymore, there are devils everywhere and druids fight against goblins.
