Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Story & Character Discussion Finally able to articulate one of the biggest flaws with the main story/writing

The Absolute is more interesting than the Dead Three.

I maintain that the biggest issue in Act III is that the feeling and mood falls away. The city, while great in a lot of ways, doesn't manage to come alive in a cultural sense.

But that said, the game does seem to lose something once you're confronted with the truth about the Absolute. I almost wish the Dead Three were the pawns, were the ones who had been initially tadpoled and were now being controlled.
