I’ve complained a lot in the last few weeks, more as a form of live feedback as the game progressed, but as my first playthrough draws to a close (Good Tiefling Dragonborn Sorcerer Tav), I want to express my overall opinion about the game: genuine and thorough satisfaction.
Could the game have been better? Yes, but any game could have been better. Would I want every aspect of the initial vision that was cut to be restored? Probably, but I’d say the same of most of my favorite games, and I also think people should be careful what they wish for. Do I want more out of this game? Yes, but I want more out of my favorite games too. There’s a sadness that comes when you run on the path of an enthralling and enjoyable journey only for the path to run out, as all paths do. I’d like the cutting room floor, an expansion, and a sequel, but don’t think the lack of these things would diminish the initial release.
For every complaint I’ve made and still intend to make, I want to convey—on the off chance anyone at Larian has ever read anything I’ve written here— that this game is a masterpiece, and one of the greatest RPGs of all time, and the developers should be proud of what they’ve made.
Anyway, back to complaining.
