All those cliffhangers are an effective way of building hype for the final product, but one can't help but think that they have written themselves into a corner with a whole ton of unrealistic promises.
Sounds like that's exactly what happened. I certainly expected more from the final act.

I agree with you. I was also very disappointed when it was said that there would be no DLC, the game would then end here and the final patch would come. And in the game you see that a lot of things were simply left open, stories that sometimes don't make any sense and you notice that a lot of things were/are simply unfinished.
Today was BG3's 1 year birthday, it wasn't even mentioned in the forum. I don't know if an empty YouTube channel is the right gift. We had already joked that there would definitely be a screensaver... I would now like to have the screensaver.
I'm not interested in new games from Larian at the moment because I haven't finished BG3 yet. I hope that modders there will close these gaps in the future.
Sadly, act 3, just like Minthara, is still in early access. The announcement of Larian being elated to leave BG3 in this state made me abandon my 2nd playthrough. I intended to do more runs, but I highly doubt I'll bother anymore. I might just do a modded repeat of my Tav's story one day when the game is officially done with the patches. Right now, all the hype is gone. I'll still test the updates but I'm actively playing other games.
No mention of the anniversary, huh? I guess they've moved on after getting all the awards. We'll see if the new patch adds anything extra to commemorate the occasion.
