An amazing game that i can't bring myself to like.
I was so excited to play it but i think i was not made to like CRPGs. My mixed feelings about Divinity Original Sin 1 and Disco Elysium should have been a clear sign. I always play games trying to make the best playthrough possible, and thats not how a game like BG3 works. You will fail, you will lose quests, people will die, and so on. I pressed F8 more than any other keybind. There are almost infinite ways of playing and the game wants you to replay again and again.
The first 10 hours were enjoyable, but my interest steadily decreased. Eventually, I lost the motivation to explore and progress, to the point where I stopped reading and carefully selecting options.
Perhaps, someday, playing with friends and adopting a less perfectionist playstyle i can try again. For now, the 26 hours I spent playing made me wish I was doing anything else.
