IMO if they fix it, fix all of it, including narrative problems. I could not careless if I have to pay another 50 euro( or whatever currency you use). Because that would be a true masterpiece.
If it remains this way well, this is my first and last Larian game. I don't have time to play RPGs for weeks anymore, and I would rather spend it on a finished product. I want to start another playthrough so bad. But the way the plot is forcing you to have a tadpole in your head for the entire game is ridiculous and annoying(any sane humanoid would not rest a second until that thing is gone), and I cannot sit through another 80 hours of the Emperor pulling the strings without me having a say in what happens. You have Mystra, Elminster, Raphael, creches, even Mizora and a million other solutions and you are FORCED to just nod along like an idiot until you end up at choose X squid. At the very least give us a logical sequence of events.
Let me be clear, the game is brilliant in many regards, otherwise I would not be here caring so much about giving feedback. I would pay another 100 euro for what this game will be if they fix the problems. I would have to wait at least 10 years for another RPG game to come close to this. The genre has been lacking in options for a long time. Can't even say we have had a proper next gen RPG until this game came along.
See, I was kind of curious. Because so many people think of BG3 as some sort of humongous triumph for Larian.
But...I mean, at least in my personal opinion....they're kind of in peril. I have experienced Larian dropping the ball in the second half before. I'm tired of watching it happen. So to me, BG3 means:
1. If they FIX it: I will never buy Larian games on release again, but I will consider buying them once I have heard the ending is solid.
2. If they DON'T fix it....for the moments of brilliance, I will buy Larian games at steep discount....but after seeing the same pattern so many times, I'd never take them seriously again.
And reflecting on the fact that this was my personal opinion, I was like, huh, this doesn't seem very triumphal. And I started to wonder, how many other people felt this way too? I wonder to the extent BG3 actually WILL be considered a triumph for Larian in the long term. Or maybe it will be the game that make people in general aware of their shortcomings.
