Felt like the illithid plot was an accessory to overall story, while the focus is the dead three shenanigans. Funny saying that when Swen said that the pitch idea was the Illithid.
Game should had been split in 4 acts.Act 3 should had been focused in Bhaal and Orin and a new Act 4 ...focused in the forgettable Bane guy and the Netherbrain. The exploration in Baldurs Gate city felt really limited and congested with the amount of stories happening at the same time.
Wish they allowed us a post credit scene with all characters besides your romantic partner, Astarion running from the sun and without any after talk with him made that weird felt like I abandoned the fella after I managed to convince him to abandon Cazador powers.
Gale recovering the crown and reconciling with Mystra or not depending on the choice and so on.
Karlach there is an entire thread about her endings but something that should had been explored more is her journey in Avernus and Zariel. Also the reasons why she got sold and what the seller got in exchange, the speech of Greater good while twirling the evil mustache made it disappointing.
But yeah I agree with you OP Act 1 and 2 it felt awesome, Act 3 with some exception (like Raphael, Iron throne rescue and Bhaal temple) felt too rushed and raw.
