You weren't supposed to be the target audience.
That's why the game isn't catering to you.
That's extremely unhelpful as a remark, Dex.
Larian wanted this game to appeal to as many people as possible and as much of the potential market as they could... that's part of why it turned out as such a tonally inconsistent mess in the first place. They wanted to try to appeal to everyone and couldn't keep their game identity under control... and if fans of fantasy sword-and-sorcery rpgs weren't part of the target audience for BG3, I'd to know who you think were. Who DO you think were the target audience (though if you say dating sim players, I'll probably have to pay that...)? It certainly wasn't D&D veterans; Larian's own scorn of the D&D system, and their wilful obfuscation of its mechanics and potentially unintentional misunderstanding of many elements of them, and their back-handed blame of the 5e system as the thing at fault for any poor game-play or clunky systems (they claimed to have made a faithful implementation and found it wasn't fun, so changed it up; there's no feasible way this is true without severely stretching the meaning of the statement)... well, that mostly speaks for itself, in spite of those determined to defend the game or the company at any cost. It is the D&D enthusiasts who were drawn in on the promise of a 5e D&D game, who have been the ones most commonly left feeling let down by the game.
It really feels like the majority of what you do, recently, is come into threads with the intent of blaming the player for any fault they find with the game. Please stop doing that - it really doesn't contribute anything, and there are much more productive ways to offer insights and advice to players that don't heap on a portion of scorn, blame of implied inferiority.
I am saying matter-of-factly, that He is not the target audience.
Yes, the marketing details and spoke person sure love to say that it's for everyone. Sure.
But the game itself designed not for him. It is designed for those who familiar with "Larian Game Design" and/or "Dungeon & Dragons' TTRPG Player and/or "Old Infinity Engine games fans" --- which is why the game doesn't feel the need to explain everything to the player because the player should've known that.
Although, I admit I fail to mention that the game does comes with wiki of short.
ps.
I am sorry that you think I am blaming him or anything, as I am actually in his side, I'm simply telling him, "the dev's probably doesn't care about you, bud" -- but seems like you're intent to see me as villain or some short.
I literally wrote 2 short sentences, and you came up with an entire Game Theory episode, do I need to pay rent because it seems to me I'm living in your head rent free.
