Just finished - the end was definitely *not* polished (and included broken conversation logic) - I tried different endings, in one
Gale died (well, sacrificed himself), but there he was talking to me after we'd won ;-)
The visuals in the last post game cinematics were of low quality (compared to earlier), and it seems you only visit the lower city in BG - I was expecting to be allowed into upper city at some point, but after defeating the game I don't think you can return. If you only look at Lower Baldu's gate it is not that large - certainly the comparisons to the scale of Novigrad in the Witcher 3 are not warranted. That was also rendered in higher detail too. And had a day/night cycle.
*Overall*, the game was fun and enjoyable but there are quite a few design (incl UI, mechanics and inconsistent stories) and visual issues which mean that for me mean this is not a 10/10 title. I can't help but think that reviewers scoring it as such did not actually play through to the end (or they don't really care about Faerun, baldur's gate as a D&D game - perhaps seeing this as a successor to DOS2). That said, I clocked in at 110 hours for a fairly complete playthrough (if you included EA this is about +200 hours) - so I certainly got my money's worth.
