What is the be all and end all of quality and who decides which view is correct? You?
Maybe everyone who loves this games thinks all the things you love are garbage. And they're right -for them. And you get to turn up your nose at their things.
Read the post again if you think it's worth your time. You have points upside down and entirely incorrect So you may need to work on your attention to detail. It won't make an imperfect story perfect but it will allow you to better enjoy whatever there is.
I never get these sort of takes. 'It's popular' As a be-all end all for quality. Twilight was popular. McDonalds is popular.
Reducing anyone who criticizes anything to 'just a vote' and an the mindset of anyone who doesn't agree with it as an 'alien distortion' is just flippantly exclusionary and anti-discourse.
BG 3's story is a stitched together compromise of ambitions too big for the devs to handle. It comes apart at the seams if you look too closely.
