I'd agree that Larian's reach has exceeded its grasp in many areas of BG3. But personally the game's ridiculous overambition is one of the things I love about it, and if it had tried to do less but more successfully then sure I'd have had fewer frustrations, but also probably less admiration too. Even when BG3 doesn't quite succeed at what it's attempting, I still think it's both fun and clear enough what Larian was aiming for, which I find inspirational as a player. And I hope other developers, as well as Larian, will also be inspired to build on those elements and do them better in future games. And, more practically, given the probable expense of making BG3 as cinematic as it is - something I appreciate hugely and wouldn't want to lose - trying to cover more bases probably did broaden the user base and help bring in the money needed.
I also hope, of course, that Larian will continue to invest in BG3 and help it live up to its potential in more areas. And the fact that they've at least got the basis of such a huge and multifaceted game means that there is opportunity there that a game more limited in scope wouldn't have. I'd not be surprised if Larian were feeling pretty burnt out at this point, but hopefully they'll be energised by the positive reception of the game and the response of fans who, while appreciating all they've done already, are keen for them to continue and make the game all that it could be.
(The above sn't to say I don't also like smaller and more perfectly formed games. I agree Disco Elysium is amazing. But there's no way I would have wanted BG3 to be like it, given the games that inspired BG3 and the D&D franchise it is based on. For me, BG3 needs to be a sprawling fantasy epic, with a large amount of player agency and ability to determine the character we play, and while I'm not a multiplayer fan myself, making it a game that can be played with friends seems to me really fitting for D&D.)
