- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Too bad BG3 was boring, excited to see what they'll do next
Unpopularopinion posting…. what do you normally like to play? I didnt enjoy BG3 either but I didnt care for the other Baldurs Gate games mostly because of the setting and characters.
I like Deus Ex, in that game things are shown to you without some guy narrating your game telling you what is happening. And Deus Ex was released in the year 2000
I get the BG3 usage of narration due to the DnD setting and DMs narrating the story. Spoon feeding is not acceptable and is insulting to the player. I remember Deus Ex very well along with others like System Shock. The world they put you in can be confusing and unfamiliar at first glance and takes time to get involved in.
It got better once I got plenty of mods. Broken bugs annoyed me like the painters house causing a million rolls or The invisible wall stopping me from crossing the bridge. Maybe I was super unlucky but it ruined the game for me.
As a long time CRPG fan, I was not into it at all. But expressing that you didn't enjoy it is wrongthink, and the rabid fans will downvote you to oblivion.
I speak the truth
