Okay, so great writing, immersive story, and character development are largely subjective. But how many major games in the last decade, or decade and a half, have given or promised you branching dialogue, character customization, and reactivity on par with what we've gotten or been promised/shown in BG3? I can think of 1, MAYBE 2.

Dude, don’t bother. Kanisatha doesn’t like BG3, doesn’t want to like BG3, and has been hanging around here for 3 years making sure everybody knows it. It’s fine, just let it be.
