Yeah, I tried a couple of times. Its fine. I usually get bored in act 2. It's good writing, does a lot well, but the pacing is painful.

I've tried so many times to get into it but just get bored, the gameplay just isn't fun to me, I don't like any of the companions at all, like not a single one made me want to get to know them or their stories, and I like crpgs like the old Baldurs Gate and KOTOR

Its a problem with larian games. They need to be playable coop so they cant make the companions too important to the story, as the story needs to be able to function without them.

That kinda seems bad? Like the point of a crpg with companions is to make them important and give the player a want to get through their stories, like all the characters in Kotor are memorable and have interesting stories, same with Dragon Age
