They want Baldur's Gate 3 to be good. They WANT to like the game. Is that so confusing?

This thread in particular is about other games/game engines, not BG3 specifically. c.) You can hate the engine and still like the game, if the various game mechanics/storytelling/characters/etc are good enough to outweigh the inherent negatives of the engine. d.) Larian are (mainly "were" at this point imo) actively soliciting feedback for BG3, so participating in this form makes it more likely that the game will improve for you. e.) Although unlikely, posting criticisms of the current engine might influence Larian to make some changes in their next engine. E.g., if their engine can't handle a full pause (it almost certainly can), then enough people advocating for a full pause on these forums could result in Larian adding that functionality for future games.
Edit. f.) sometimes you just want to rant
Thanks, you good people.
I'm tired of having to repeat my answer to this ridiculous question again and again, and won't be doing so anymore. But I greatly appreciate you guys pointing out the very obvious answer.
