Baldur's Gate 3 really does get worse the more time passes. I don't even know if a Definitive Edition could fix these problems, anymore.

Thank you OP for the thread, regardless, though it leaves perhaps the most bitter taste of all in my mouth thus far regarding BG3's copious issues. I think after I do an Emperor run, I'll just... leave it alone, at least until DE - and only if DE manages to fix even half of these problems, which I feel is a big ask at this point.

Thank you friend, I share your pain. Honestly it's not Shadowheart's fault, but I also find it very difficult to care about her when the story remains this way. And I agree BG3 gets worse the more time passes, for me, besides assassinations of old characters, there are lackluster Act III villains, cut Upper City, Karlach's ending and the game's ending. (We used to mock games like Fallout 4, in which players' choices during the playthrough didn't really matter for they won't show in the end. However in BG3 we don't even get one slide telling us what's going on in the world afterward. Compared to DOS2, it's really night and day.)

Hope you get better, I myself became happier when I started to play other good games. Though just curious, I'm not very familliar with Halsin, and Red Prince was always my PC (and I always paired him with Sebille so no Sadha) so I didn't know much about his romance, could you please explain where their problems lie?
