Wow you guys are funny. Part of game development includes cutting content usually due to limits like time, expense, and yes downgrades due to technological limits.
The consoles have specs well above the minimum required for BG3. Suggesting they cut content due to consoles for this game seems pretty far fetched don't you think?
You need to remember the average PC player is not using a 3070 or 4070.
I understand the urge to find a scapegoat though and console peasants seem to be the go to for some I suppose.
Except that you dont usually promote the content you cut in big press releases.
That shows that the decision to cut them was made very late, maybe less than a month before release and is directly responsible for the lower quality of act 3 as questlines had to be hastely rewritten.
And I wonder if that was necessary because of technical limitations or because Larian rushed the game to beat starfield.
