I can see how early access of a game can create expectations.
Just to show how different people are: I tried to get interested in Disco Elysium but haven't managed it. For one thing I strongly prefer a fantasy settingn and making my own character. The description of Torment convinced me I wouldn't enjoy it that much and I like a good power fantasy if I'm honest. To each their own.
The story was ravaged by rewrites and is undoubtedly weaker than the potential BG3 we saw in EA. Still, the vision that pokes through now and again before the collapse into power-fantasy nonsense in Act 3 is still good; compared to something like WOTR, which is nothing but empty bombast and power-fantasy, it still is better within the CRPG sphere. Of course, we all wish something like Disco Elysium or Torment could come out every year.
