They just don't get immersion or "how to craft a credible and consistent game world" over at Larian. It's the cartoony shoves, gamey teleportation networks that don't make sense, fast traveling out of inescapable locations, whack-a-mole combat with Help action, and the senseless potion throwing. To name a few.
If someone thinks it's "fun" for whatever reason, it's in. Consideration ends there unfortunately.
The game is presented as mature and realistic, yet the gameplay is goofy and cartoony with absurd actions that defy both physics and common sense. Like a platformer game. This juxtaposition, or lack of clear game direction what style of game BG3 should be, is what stops BG3 from being a masterpiece for me. Consistency. Dark Souls is consistent. Super Mario is consistent. BG3 is all over the place.
You can't tell me to not use potion throwing if I don't like it. The damage is already done. I think the game is stupid for such things that are entirely unnecessary to begin with.
