And yeah, BG3 has bugs, but soooo much works the way it's supposed to. They've got polyam options and I've been really wanting that for around a decade or more in CRPGs.

I think people forget how awesome the game actually was on full release, compared to other recent games. Larian did do a lot right. I just wish they'd hired a competent editor to catch eff ups like the emporer ridiculousness.
Yes, that's the exact issue. Act 3 was barely playable on release (it's still performing poorly and is horribly bugged) and the game still doesn't have a proper ending with nothing more on the horizon coming up. And it's drowned in praises, awards and everyone wants GOTY award while calling it game of the decade if not greatest of all time. That's how low the bar is and just shows how much you can get away with today. It's sad at the very best
