It's not uncommon that I ignore the main plot of RPG games(Like fallout 4 or Skyrim) I play, since it's bad or just not interesting and just focus on other aspects of the game. I'd prefer not to ignore the main plot and I'd like to RP the game content, though. In BG3 adhering to the main plot and roleplaying as anything else other than a crank, necessitates that you basically speedrun through the main plot and the "tadpole removal" -related quests. So no, I can't really roleplay act 1 the way I want, since I don't want to miss out on the world.
Can't say that I especially care for having to choose only 4 companions and the nitpicking approval system and its possible rewards/punishments either.
The promise of being led to death is reason enough to follow.
