And here I'm not even speaking of fans of the game in this forum. That most of the people here would be die-hard fans of all things Larian is not in the least bit surprising or unexpected. I'm speaking of all the pro reviewers and gaming journalists, who are supposed to be objective and honest and fair in what they write about games, and not gushing cheerleaders.

Have you considered the possibility, that people ... well ... really like the game? YOu have your opinion, others have different ones. Shocking, I know.
But seriously, maybe give it a try and you see, why people like it. Wasn#T there someone here saying, that you can test a game out on GOG for 20 hours or so and then refund it, if you don't like it? Not everyone here is a Larian fanboy/girl. I never heard of Larian before BG3 was announced and I approached it with quite a lot of sceptizism, but I honestly like the game. There are things, I would have liked differently (like the halfling bard companion, that was datamined instead of Halsin/Minthara, who both seem to be letdowns for their fans), but I enjoy the game immensly. ANd it is the same with others. YOu read in a lot of threads critizising stuff, that people love the game but would liek to see one or two aspects changed.
And tbh. I'm critisizing BG1 and 2 quite a bit, despite liking them - I don't put them on poedestals, because there is a lot tehre, I don't actually don't enjoy as much. I even critisize my favorite game of all times, Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines - you always want the games you care about to bebetter. So take, what people write with a grain of salt.

As Boblawblah says: This is not an attack. You've been around here for a while and I enjoy talking to you, but the world isn't black or white.
