To put people back into place who think BG3 is this "hail marry" of the most reactive Crpg the world has ever seen...really glad people here mention Arcanum.

Plenty of other older games that are reactive and do things better than BG3, while other things not as well. BG2 and Planescape Torment included.
Ultima 7 in 1992 was also pretty damm reactive. Oh and it had a day/night, weather and NPC schedule system...something BG3 laughably lacks.

If your 15 to 25 years old and never gamed in the 90s, early 2000s. I get it. Nothing too great to boast about in the last decade. So many ACTION RPGs, remakes, and "socially aware" modernized enhanced editions...with a very few pretty good cRPGs...So BG3 seems like the second coming.

It just reminded me of the bowl of goat's milk that old Winthrop used to put outside his door every evening for the dust demons. He said the dust demons could never resist goat's milk, and that they would always drink themselves into a stupor and then be too tired to enter his room..
