I have an honest question, then (I'm not trying to be provocative or antagonistic here, I really ain't). How would you assess, if you were indeed proven wrong or not, if you don't plan to play BG3 at all? I mean, you can of course base your assessment on others' opinions, but even if those will be opinions of people that usually share your point of view, there is always the risk, that their perception of the fully released game will be different from yours on this particular matter. You can also base your opinion on streamed playthroughs, but then again, if what you see does prove you wrong, you will spoil yourself the game story for no reason.

The best way to be proven wrong or not is to simply try the game yourself.
Nope. There are several people on this forum who I'd trust to provide honest appraisals of the game.

If everything (or very nearly so) in the game is how you want things to be and you are paying $60 for that, whereas I will only get a small fraction of that as things I want in the game, I should not have to pay the same amount as you for the game. It's a pretty simple principle. I will wait for the game to be deeply discounted. But in the meantime, I still want to know what's what in the game, and hopefully settle some of the longstanding debate issues from the past few years.

All right then, I really hope you will be proven wrong and find enjoyment in BG3. I have some doubts too, mainly because DOS2 turned out to be not as great as I hoped it to be, but, after everything I've learned do far about it, I'm oddly confident BG3 will turn out to be a great game.
