I also need to set the record straight here on something else. I don't "hate" BG3. Yes it's possible I may have phrased it that way in a post here or there, but that's purely rhetorical and figurative. I strongly dislike certain aspects of BG3, but don't hate the game as a whole. That word "hate" is used far too loosely in today's society, and that bothers me greatly. "Hate" is a very powerful word, and should be used sparingly so that it doesn't lose its impact when used in appropriate contexts.

This also means I most certainly do not hate Larian (or their devs). I definitely consider their writing to be poor/lame, but in general I do believe Larian is a game studio that genuinely strives for innovation, and I like that about them very much. And I continue to hold out the hope that some day they will make a game that I like and which I will thoroughly enjoy playing.
