I wouldn't go that far. It just lacks narrative, complimentary depth to a large degree. SH, Astarion and Karlach all had the potential to have it, mind you. The opportunity was just largely squandered. If Bg3 in some state was a masterful spider's web, you can see where a mischievous bird stuck its beak in and tangled if not ripped half the strings.

Stories such as these are meaningless without impactful choice. Not that "doomed to fail" tragic narratives couldn't have worked, but I don't think they can in *this* sort of game. The tone is too light. The narrative too loose. The ending fails to be heartwrenching in some way. There is no theme of loss as a steady companion.
