But I just can't really get into it. Partly because having the story and most of walkthroughs memorized, partly because I dislike the mechanic side.
Even the character generation, which I found awesome 20 years ago, feel overly restrictive. Especially playing evil is so meh.

I am the person that likes to play a character that is at least partially similiar to me, so certain stuff like the over-importance of Dexterity is annoying.


But, like I said earlier, BG is a very different thing to different persons. So someone who might still enjoy BG a lot today, might just not be interested in the options that BG3 offers over BG1&2. So to them it is still fun to play and has lost nothing of its radiance.
