Yes, I heartily agree, and I am glad to see other people with these sentiments. I have seen a lot of people who seem to have concluded that the plot is TOTALLY AMAZING until it runs into some problems in act 3, but I have always thought it was really weak right from the outset - which is actually in line with Larians other games. It's just that the very fun and polished gameplay in act 1 leads people to gloss over the weakness in the plot. (And actually, in terms of overall plot, I believe BG3 is a significant step BACKWARDS for Larian. DOS2 had some problems with the plot, but they weren't nearly so bad. They made the companions much more likable in BG3, though.)
