[/quote] 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.[/quote]
Don’t really know what you are talking about with IGN. I know there was a discussion about game pass and other things, and it was not running well on the platform, which I find interesting since it runs so well on a steam deck. And my Series X seems to be quite the powerful beast.
I also do not and did not play multiplayer, and some of the issues were with that from the extreme minimal amount of information I gathered (and retained).
I know the thread is on ‘opinions on the writing.’ I liked the writing. I know many other that agree. Others don’t have to agree and that is fine. I hope Larian takes all the comments and improves. Again, I had a wonderful time with it and most definitely got my money’s worth. I even bought it on two platforms, something I rarely ever do. Maybe the studio head can use some of that cash to buy more armor or something.
