Can we please stop debating the writing of 20 year old games and focus on BG3?
The criticism was about BG3 not knowing what it is at it's core. We have storytelling with mature themes, explicit decapitation and eye stabbing in photorealistic presentation, and then we have cutesy talking Disney cartoon animals and goofy Super Mario -like gameplay with lots of jumping and videogamey elements in an adult RPG.
It's not about having lighter elements or humor here and there. Even horror needs those to be better horror. It's about mixing different styles and genres to the point where the game just feels like a mess without an identity.
