isn't it like, confirmed that their next project is going to be sci-fi?
It seems to be what they're implying, but I'm hoping that's not what it is lol. The only sci-fi adjacent setting I like are cyberpunk-esque ones. I'm so uninterested in space and aliens. The setting not being one I like can really affect the game experience for me. I know people love F:NV, but I was so bored and uninterested all the time because I didn't care for the setting (or the game's style, really) that I just rushed through to the end.
Regarding the writing, personally I think the main story is just okay, does its work for what it is, typical campaign, rushed towards the end. Act 2 is really solid, though. The writing shines more with the companions, or some of the companions, since some of them clearly got preferential treatment (Astarion, SH, Lae'zel). There are some inconsistencies in characterisation here and there that mostly strike me as Larian's (sometimes annoying) philosophy of letting the player do whatever they want to overriding how a character would or should react. But I think there's some really, really solid stuff in there.
Of course there might also be one or two (one. it's just one.) companions that are written really badly because of Larian's penchant for pleasing fans even if it's a stupid idea, if we need to address the bear in the room.
I feel like the main story in BG3 is mostly just an excuse to explore the world and its characters, so I was always okay with, let's say, act 1 (since I really do like act 2). But the way things quickly wrapped up during the final battle in act 3 still leaves a bad taste in my mouth epilogue or not, and I'm huffing copium that it'll be properly fixed and not get a band-aid fix since there are fundamental problems to the ending that can't be fixed by better cinematics or whatever.
