yeah... I love this game so far, but there is no way it wins GoTY, and it will probably struggle to even get in the larger population's top 5.

Not because it doesn't deserve it, but the competition is made by far larger and more well known companies, and tactical rpg games have had a hard time hitting charts. It could have won in 2021 based on the weak competition, but not this year with so many games that people have been waiting for years to play. Even if Starfield and Zelda were mediocre, they would have an easier time winning than BG3 at its best.

Back from timeout.
