Fair points, but I rather liked the writing. It contained key emotional impact on several characters, more than any game I can recall. It is a game after all, not a film or novel, so it must anticipate multiple iterations. Examples: I had major characters walk out on me, and it was more than �don�t approve� now gone. Also even the minor villains were very memorable.
Now is there room to improve? Certainly. I had to take a break due to some major bugs here and there. But Larian fixed them. They also added the epilogue and tweaked endings for several characters. They are listening and improving.
Was it released too soon? Maybe, but this is a business and money must be made. It was not like they had Microsoft or Sony bankrolling them. Hell, Microsoft thought this would not be successful.
I adored the writing. There were twists and turns that most games would never approach. It made you make choices. But, again, it is a game. I really enjoyed it, and for those that were let down by aspects of it, I totally respect those opinions. Of course they could improve or change parts, but they cannot take forever doing so. This is not The Winds of Winter�
Yeah no, if you think Microsoft thought it wouldn't be successful that tells me you pay more attention to click bait titles and what you WANT to hear rather than what's actually said. The exact quote is 'second run' which means it's coming to Xbox far later than other platforms. That's it. It's funny how people will shit on the IGN reviewer for having weird takes and seemingly not knowing the game very well (like saying they almost missed Karlach or stating the wrong companion is met first), but turn around and parrot the 'AAA devs concerned about BG3' take that IGN made up with no self-awareness.
There is an almost direct correlation between those that are prone to 'substituting' what they want the game to be or what they think the game is trying to get at but didn't and those that think the writing is fine, I am observing.
