Fair enough. This is, quite honestly, the nicest way anyone has put it to me, and so I commend you for that.
But as I have said in other contexts, I just cannot justify paying full price for a game that has so many things in it that I actively dislike or believe to be wrong/poor game design choices. And this is not a money thing. It's a principle thing. So, maybe, some years from now, if the game is on sale at a heavily discounted price, I will try it out then.
You quite literally listed the starting character you plan on playing in another thread. It was some kind of Paladin and you made a snarky comment about how Larian wouldn't allow you to select a diety to worship or something.
Maybe you are taking their dislike of the game a little too personally?
I'm unsure why people find this to be such a hot take or personal attack thing... or why they think I am "taking it personally"?
I have been critical of the game and Larian as well. I just don't believe someone lurking on a forum for hundreds of hours about a specific game and listing their starting class hasn't bought the game already and/or has no intentions to do so. I have told him this before, haha.
I said the same thing to some dude the other day when I was poking around discussing the new Cyberpunk expansion thing. Some guy was like "I have played through this game fifteen times and have thousands of hours into it. I know everything about it from time to bottom! I have tens of thousands of posts on this forum and I can definitively say this game sucks and isn't worth playing!!!" and I am like bro... you played through a game fifteen times for thousands of hours that isn't worth playing... and spend that much time on a forum chatting about it? That don't add up, breh.
