I haven't played BG3 in a long time and I don't think I will again due to a serious 'flaw' that makes it an unenjoyable experience for me. I don't know how many people out there love the recruitable NPCs available and the diatribe of tripe we are forced to endure. I and plenty of people I have discussed BG3 with would much prefer the chance to start a single player game with a complete party created by us. It's how my friends and I always played the original and then used the same method for every single BG variant. I find it much more enjoyable to play with my party rather than someone elses. Is this a popular idea or do most people prefer the forced companionship of, in my opinion, terrible NPCs?
