I'd love to see examples of what you mean here.

Something of a Curate's Egg then?



This is a collection of all the character selection intros. Lae'zel and Durge's are my favorites, but I think they're all pretty good in that they all reflect who the character is. Gale talking like he's giving an academic lecture is an example.

I think that while I don't enjoy BG3, it's on the whole an okay game. I think there's actually quite a number of good things in it. I would say that in isolation, act 2 is actually quite well-written overall. It's probably the largest stretch of good story writing in the game, but even it is plaguedby weird choices and issues like Kethric's never-referenced extended family. BG3 is not a bad game. It's just a sloppy game created by developers who overally just seem very flakey and flighty.
