No random encounters or respawns.
Poor selection of companions who each have a stat spread a ten year old could improve on.
Aesthetics are nice but nothing amazing and the graphics certainly benefit from the use of a reshade.

I'm already really struggling to generate any interest in the game and now the footie season has started . . .

So why not just stop if you don’t like it?

I probably will at some stage but at present I'm soldiering on in the hope that things will buck up once I get past the EA parts. Long-term I'm hoping the modding community will come up trumps. There's already over 800 mods on Nexus and a few have been produced on Lover's Lab. I've currently got 10-12 mods installed.

The wonderful Larian have put out 3 Hotfixes featuring just under 500 fixes in the first week of their amazing game.

Thus far I've not seen anything in this thread which is peculiar or unique to BG3 or Larian.

It's not about things unique to Larian. Rarely are things truly unique to a particular studio (for long) in the RPG space. It's about things that Larian did in BG3 that they should continue to do in future games they make.

Actually drawing a blank on caring, so I'll just say freckle slider.

A better question would have been what they should do that they didn't. Instant mega-thread.

It’s called suggestions and feedback.

I would not be upset if they repeated what they did for BG3, but just more refined. Act1 is very well polished, Act2 is good, but starts to have some issues with continuity and quality as you get towards its end, and Act3 falls apart in quality early on. I love the game, don't get me wrong. It is definitely the best BG game in all of the franchises history. It just suffers from deadline syndrome, like all other games.

Bg3 is a good game, but it definitely is nowhere near the best game in the BG franchise. Lol
