I hate expansions, they do not exist, expansions is content the devs decided to cut and then sell back to the players for more money. A dnd adventure is 1-20 for a REASON. I will not accept anything outside of a full game, even game masters are cable of doing it in tabletop. There is no reason we can not be level 20, outside of corporate greed.
Well, we’re all entitled to our preferences and views, but those certainly aren’t ones I share. Sure, there are examples of what looks like cynical DLC that doesn’t offer value for money, but I don’t think that’s by any means universally the case and for me well done DLC and expansions add significantly to my favourite games. As long as it’s complete and satisfying in its own right, I’d much rather Larian released a first story for our characters’ in August rather than waiting for what I’d consider to be a satisfying full 20 level epic to be developed, spanning years and multiple arcs and which, if done right, would more than justify more than a single game. And I think it would be very disappointing if Larian either just released a game with 20 levels but without a the stories to justify them, or just gave us ~12 levels and refused to develop that story later, because some folk would accuse them of greed.
Of course, if they’d set the expectation at the start that BG3 would tell the whole story of a character’s adventuring career it would be different, but that’s not what they promised.
