So my expectations remain rather low.
I suspect this is how it is for many people here, even though they of course won't admit to it, which is that they have set rather low expectations for this game, and relative to those low expectations the game is delivering awesomely for them. In this respect, I very much appreciate your honesty.
For me, however, the expectations I have set for this game, right from its announcement, have been extremely high. And justifiably so. Furthermore, video game expectations for me are very heavily driven by the extent of game development resources available for developing the game. By that measure, BG3 *should* have sky-high expectations attached to it, given the sky-high amount of resources Larian is throwing at the game. By contrast, studios like Owlcat and TA, and even pre-MS Obsidian for that matter, have had very limited--even extremely limited--resources available in developing their respective games. So it is precisely those other cRPGs for which it is eminently reasonable to have had low expectations. And as such, I am extremely happy with those games because they definitely beat their expectations.
