Definitely do not understand the overwhelming love for this one despite still thinking it is a good game
Perhaps most of my issues stem from it's DnD chains but I find the majority of its fantasy trappings incredibly generic and not that interesting to dive into.
The game does have incredibly impressive reactions to your decisions, both systemic and narrative.
This is an incredible tabletop game, maybe the best; but to me, the greatest video-games leverage their medium in ways that no other forms of artistic expression can. Think Outer Wilds explorative loop or Nier Automata's take on a new play-through. BG3 offers nothing that couldn't be achieved through a pen, a dungeon master and some stat sheets just visualised through pixels and polygons instead.
