Bg3 it is not meant for the ppl who have played bg1&2 and care for epic story and writhing no it is for ppl who have no clue of what DnD is, for people who have never played bg before and of course for people who just want to have sex with their companions lmao, you know? sex scenes, jiggle physics for d**ks and balls stuff like that.
True, Larian's goal was to attract as many casual and new players as possible and they succeeded. And sex sells what can I say.
P.S. Viconia should be removed from game entirely and replaced by other NPC.

As for act 3:
Contrast between act 2 an 3 is just too much. Cursed lands, grim atmosphere, epic battle with great villain and then straight to the circus with silly dialogues and some pointless investigation! This reminded me dos 1 when Larian didn't take it's writing quite seriously, to the point that it was annoying.
I'm not a big fan of city hubs in RPGs but Baldur's gate was really overwhelming for me. I always try to do one thing at a time, but I'm still struggling.
Oh, in act 3 almost forgot that I was playing as a drow. Apparently no one cares that drow or githyanki are roaming in the city without any disguise.
Racial interactions are gone, party banter is non existent. After completing companion quests everything feels hollow.
It is what it is. I doubt Larian will ever do major changes in act 3.
Still, I think this game is one of best RPGs ever made and GOTY is well deserved.
