I think "hater" is a very strong word for people who have some issues with the game. I had fun for the most part, but I do think the game has received excessive praise that is really not deserved, certainly not based on my playthroughs and experience. That said, I understand that this is all very subjective. I value balanced mechanics and C&C - Larian doesn't - not really. From a C&C perspective, The Emperor arc shows that - as has been pointed out here and elsewhere. Others have mentioned other cases where there is the illusion of consequences, but it's just that.
Mechanically, as a 5e game, BG3 is weak - 5e already suffers from balance issues (esp with MC), and they amplified that massively by ignoring things they didn't like, especially balancing mechanisms. For me, that is not good - I hugely prefer WotR which does a very good job of implementing very complex mechanics, mostly faithfully. 5E is so simple, and they messed it up. This was pointed out again and again in EA - for years - but had little impact. They also have also this verticality, but they can't do true 3D - unlike solasta where you can actually fly/levitate to stationary 3D position and rain down fireballs, safe from melee. That is just very cool - its very disappointing that hugely expensive and well resourced AAA D&D game can't manage that. Fly is just a glorified jump/hover (+ copied directly from D:OS - as anyone can see if you played those games).
I was completing another run as a regular dextrous monk - avoiding 'tavern brawler' - and after getting to Act 3...I just ran out of steam. I can't summon the enthusiasm to play again. WotR I have played to completion 3 times (at least) and enjoyed each playthrough hugely - especially mythic path variation. Yes, a lot of combat - too much perhaps - but it feels closer to what I think bg3 experience should have felt like. In my view, if you stripped the VO + cinematics from BG3, its scores would plummet.
