It works great, no questions there. Just not a good game.

The game was really solid right from launch, so I guess it’s not lacking any updates. Bummer that it’s perceived as such a failure.

I’m just starting my first playthrough. First hour introduction was solid

The one thing it can’t be criticised for as I understand it is polish. I’ve heard many complaints about almost everything else, but as far as technical matters it seems to have shipped very well optimised and largely bug free - a welcome change from what we’ve grown accustomed to.
Shame about the actual you know, game.

I, for one, loved it. That may not be true for a lot of people, but I’m glad the game was made.

I love the combat system and I think the more action oriented combat is a good change for the system. The story feels much less open world and really heavy on the cutscenes, but it really is more of an action rpg so that’s fine.
I really do think it falls short in the character interactions and dialogue. It feels like you are locked in to playing a really nice character, which I usually do anyway, but it feels pretty campy and limited compared to how varied the old games could be depending on your options.
It does have one of the best character creation processes I’ve ever used.
It’s definitely not as bad as people make it out to be, and it’s a good game, just kinda cheesy which is wildly different from previous DA games. But BG3 exists if you want to play a mean or evil character in a fantasy rpg

Yes, the combat is awesome. I just played Origins, and sure, there were a lot of opportunities for my character to be a dick, but I really wonder how many people choose those options. I didn’t. I liked how close you could get to the companions in Veilguard. It felt much more impactful in the end game.
