Hey, I support you, and I definitely get how certain spaces can be overwhelming if they just keep hating on you. And I also get not wanting the thread to turn into Larian hate, I've also noticed the same thing and it stresses me out a bit, so I'd say we're in the same lane. I also love BG3 and massively respect Larian, while also thinking the game has some major issues.

You're absolutely right that the massive lack of dialogue and scenes for those companions is a bit egregious. Particularly for Wyll. In Minthara's case it's embarrassing that her romance spent so long being broken, but in terms of content I can kind of understand she's not meant to be as in-depth as other characters. I think the lack of polish in Act 3 is the thing that needed the most fixing.

Unfortunately, it's also the thing that would take the most work. It's a big flaw, but I think it'd take them a lot of resources to fix it without making it a DLC or GOTY Edition and the like. And I also get that they're burnt out. It's a shame, and it sucks extra hard as a fan because you know this game could *truly* be something really special if the ending wasn't so rushed.

In truth, there are so many flawed games that are just flawed forever. Larian probably decided to just let it be, and as fans we can't help but be disappointed that that's how this otherwise really good game is going to stay forever, because I guess we've grown accustomed to hoping for the best from Larian.

I definitely get both sides but I'm sad so many things are clearly rushed or unfinished/scrapped, particularly towards the ending.
