Does anyone feel like BG3 is trying to be too many things at once, and that it sometimes feels like it's being stretched thin as a result?
Yes, there can be no doubt about this at all, both that the game tries to do and claim too much but also that in trying to do so it often fails.
But, trying to be all these different things at the same time is exactly what PCGamer gave it a 97 score for, isn't it? It's what many people want these days, as evidenced by many of the comments right here in this thread. And that is fine. But it's not my thing. I'd much rather a cRPG developer give me a small-scope game in which the few things that they try to do they do very well. My only concern is that we don't have every other cRPG studio out there trying to do this same thing as what Larian has chosen to do, and instead that they will continue to make small-scope cRPGs that do their few things very well.
