Quick reminder that everyone is entitled to hold and express their views on the game, and given we'll have different tastes and priorities it's guaranteed that we're never all going to agree, and that's fine. I'd just ask that people try not to take negative views of a game they love personally, but at the same time that if you do have negative views about the game talk about those rather than the "fanbase", among which many of us here will include ourselves. That way, hopefully, we can have an interesting, friendly discussion about our different views.

(Personally, while there are still a number of things that I can't make sense of, I am blown away by the complexity and depth of the storytelling in BG3, and the way that there's so much to discover about the various interlocking strands that relate to events both 100+ years ago and the near past and present day. But then I'm a glass-half-full sort of person, and will tend to focus on what is there rather than what's not. In my view, the storytelling award was well deserved, but of course I can appreciate that for many reasons others will take a different view. And in some cases, I can even agree with their reasons, they just don't have the same priority for me. And I always find it interesting to hear different perspectives.)
