BG3 feels like half of a game. So many aspects of it are simply cut short or left unfinished that the more I play it, the more I find myself disliking it. I cant really comment on the combat due to not really playing CRPGs of old (bar Neverwinter Nights, if we are talking 'old school') and only being familiar with one other Larian title, nor do I have an understanding of D&D lore, so these are my blind spots. But I think my time with EA has coloured my opinion of BG3 somewhat, as I really feel like the final product is complete jank due to missing/residual narrative content that seems especially egregious when you hit Act 3, which almost feels like the entire plot got a complete redux as well as several other aspects throughout, but was simply never expanded upon, let alone finished.
If Im being frank,(to me) some of the writing in the latter half of the game almost feels like when a uni student just blurts out whatever random thing comes into their head to fulfill the word count requirement on a written essay that is due to be handed in the next day.
This isnt to say that I dont like the game, I enjoy it. I also like that it brings a new audience to a genre that has been stagnating for quite some time. But for now I think I'll be taking a big step back from playing for likely at least a year or more unless my friends wish to play multiplayer.
