MODERATORS
Not to be a contrarian, the game is good, but I seriously don't understand how it's one of the best games ever made. Just my opinion no one asked for, but I know I can't be alone. Only other game I can think that's more overhyped is breath of the wild.
BG3 is annoying as fuck. There's far too much sequential quest nesting that blocks you out of content for no reason. Not to mention the bugs. Save scumming shouldn't be part of normal gameplay.
The reason is for replayability and having a fresh experience each time. You get blocked out of content because there are about 60 unique paths you can take through the game with different content for each.
The few I experienced personally were fixed within a couple months of release. I haven't seen a bug of any sort, actually, since January.
Then... Don't do that. Save scumming also isn't a part of tabletop gameplay. You fail a roll or fuck up your plan, you deal with the outcome. Saves are only for emergencies if some bug does come up.
You're allowed to not enjoy the game, and that's fine, it's not for everyone. But your reasons why are poor reasons.
I absolutely love the game. Single player runs great, but multiplayer is bug city. Dialogue lines cut abruptly in the middle, characters listening in to dialogue turn invisible when it stops, actions in combat are sometimes inexplicably unavailable unless you can switch to someone else and switch back, etc. Nothing game breaking so far, but my husband and I experience a few bugs every time we game together.
