Since I generally consider you among the "reasonable ones", I'll take the time to clarify my viewpoint.

I've said more than once that I'm at very least confident that even in the worst case scenario BG3 will turn out to be overall a very competent and enjoyable game for the most part, if not an instant classic as it could be.

But this doesn't make the occasional users that try their best to be gratuitously catty and passive-aggressive toward ANY criticism voiced by others a single bit less annoying.

We don't need the "damage control patrol" policing the tone and scolding the "negativity" every time someone has some disappointment to express.
And we shouldn't feel pressured to put a half dozens asterisks and caveats near every single expression of criticism just to make it more palatable.

I will keep criticizing things I don't like about the (current?) state of the game and I will reserve for myself the right to not having to list "the things that the game also does well" every time just to sugarcoat the message.
Which doesn't mean "I hate everything" about the game. Otherwise I would have started ignoring it almost two years ago.


Never thought you did. Just keep doing what you do. There are very many things I am not happy with either, I just occationally feel the need to let some air of positivity in, while remaining sceptical about the end product. They have clearly made some strange judgment calls, and the game is likely not going to be the dream game I originally envisioned, but I do believe I will love it. Possibly a lot! =)
