Sometimes I'm annoyed by my own laziness TBH

BG3 is a complex beast. I enjoy playing it and some of the stories - Shadowheart, Astarian - are among the best I've seen in a video game. And anyone who critiques the visuals and voice acting is either trolling or needs to adjust their expectations to reality.

But there are 10s of thousands of people saying how great BG is and yet another "I love it" voice won't correct the flaws of Chapter 3. I offered my critiques in the hope that chapter 3 would revised. That's now a moot point exactly because they have won so many awards. It's difficult to convince a person with a literal armful of awards to drop those and start the revision process.

Like the OP I sometimes roll my eyes but, truth be told, I prefer a touch of eyeroll-worthy negativity to smarm:
