tbh I feel like you care about this a tad too much, Blackheifer. Everyone already knows how things are.
From the vibe I sense from the general gaming communities, I don't even think Starfield is even considered a serious GOTY contender anymore. It and FFXVI have let down too many people, when way earlier in the year everyone thought they'd be duking it out with Zelda, and BG3 as a cRPG would be too niche to be considered.
I was a bit concerned with what other people had been saying about act 3 in BG3 since I finally got that far this morning, but I haven't run into any issues on my end, probably because it's been about a month and a half of patching and/or my computer is strong enough to withstand everything that's going on. Unless people are talking about an area even further into Act 3.
