Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Storyline improvements?

Yes the "off-screening" of the absolute reveal is another good one. I honestly can't remember all anymore, because it did not leave a lasting impression on me to the extent that I want to replay the game.

The reason I bring this up is that they could definetly invest money into touching up the storyline for a definitive edition. Like you I kept sitting there with the feeling of "this is about get good!", but it just never does. It is close to being a masterpiece but every time the story is about to build into something meaningful the threads of the story just, end? Or the reveals are anti climactic.

Also the amount of times you are just forced to nod along like an absolute moron without any reason or meaningful context for why you are doing so, is ridiculous. (I am just going to ignore this brain eating amoeba in my brain until whenever)

I can't even rembmer how many useless vases I checked, how many useless chests I dug up. How many storylines that just got wrapped up in a hurry. Act 3 feels like a completely different game in every regard, no well built fights, Gortash/Orin storylines lacking fill, and ending abruptly. But like Gray-ghost says, the problems start way earlier, they are just concealed better because act 1 and 2 are superior to 3. In the very second cinematic I am already annoyed, so I get knocked out by a random stone and I Would be dead if not for some random saving me ? Damn I really feel like a competent adventurer rn!

Edit*
More meh things I just remembered:

- And let us not forget when you are murdered by Bhaal and your "romance option" and "friends" are just watching silently, unbothered in the background ! So beta state it is laughable.
- I remember the first time you talk to the Dream Guardian there is a dialogue option saying : " Are you a mindflayer"? And I just remember thinking to myself, damn that would suck and just laughed it off. Imagine my disappointment when the Emperor confirmed it was just him all along.
- Can't remember a single time the group, actually bonded as a group.

Game can still be a masterpiece Larian, but you need to do a massive overhaul, then you can cash out on the definitive edition. Right now it is just mediocre. Maybe slightly above average. If you don't fix it I definetly won't be coming back to fund your development again !
