I never thought I'll say smth like that about a game, but IMO, BG3 has been in development for TOO LONG.

Look - they shifted release to an earlier date (I don't remember this ever happening in a gaming industry) ; PS5 and PC versions are coming out at the same time, while Larian always took a year+ to polish the original version and release the console one. Latest "woke dating sim in Faerun" additions, unnecessary dnd rule changes, some TV start voice actors etc. all look more like "bells and whistles" but do not actually improve the core product.

BG3 starts giving off CP2077 vibes.
