Yeah the ultimate conclusion I’ve come to is that I’m very unlikely to buy Larian’s next game at release, if ever (I hate the mechanics of DOS so if that’s what Larian likes over the dnd rules I probably won’t be there for it).
BG3 is still a great game and I’ve been replaying it over and over again, but much of the praise is definitely focused on the bigger picture and the game’s potential than what it delivers to you. It pretty quickly goes from an 11/10 game in Act 1 to something like a 7/10 by the time you reach the end. The later part of the game is pretty standard rpg fare that’s elevated to being really enjoyable by the how good the first part of the game was.
