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.
Thank (insert god) someone here replies quickly.
I do believe the game is an accomplishment in the making, it is just not finished, not properly playtested. I mean what kind playtester that likes RP would enjoy being stuck with a tadpole in their head for 90 hours?
It is so close to being a masterpiece but like we discussed it needs some proper touching up in regards to story and in particular act 3 to be what it could be. It is definitely not worthy of all the praise it gets in its current form(most reviewers probably played half the game). I think like me, many of us were bewitched by the fantastic start, and to be honest it took some time for me to be free from the spell that act 1-2 cast on me. With act 3 other short-comings became more apparent.
Maybe most people haven`t reached act 3 yet? Who knows? Still blinded by act 1-2 ? I too am a bit surprised that these simp-threads seem to be the main focus in this forum. I like Karlach too, but the issue is way deeper.
You seem to have a deeper history with Larian than I. This is the first RPG I have played in years, I missed DnD setting/lore so bad tbh.
