MODERATORS
This is all a bit alarmist, isn't it? My baseline is a sensible user interface, responsive controls, and fun. Very high-budget games from the biggest studios have come and gone (often failing those modest criteria) yet my baseline remains the same. Having experienced the epics doesn't raise my expectations or damage my opinion of the less advantaged ones.
Or to put it another way, I've been lucky enough to have a few very impressive multi-course meals, yet I still love a good taco.
I would include "well written" in my baseline, since it is an RPG. If the writing is bad, even if everything else hits, it would be super disappointing.
I think this is a case of the people most likely to receive the message being the least likely to need it. At the very least it's a good twitter thread to keep in your back pocket should you encounter someone complaining that some other RPG doesn't match up to BG3.
