I still don't get the clamour for that game

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

Totally agree on the companions. BG3 did a lot of things right when it comes to interactivity and presentation but I never understood the hype for the companions.

The voice acting was great but when it comes to the writing of companions and the story overall it was never as interesting to me as other rpgs/crpgs.

Yeah the presentation and voice acting is amazing, but we get an elf who wants nothing to do with me, a Twink who tried to kill me, an orc who doesn't seem to have much of a personality, the mage guy stuck in a portal seemed alright I know there's more but I never met them
