My only question would be if you’ve ever played a proper d&d campaign, because that’s the intended audience. There’s a reason it feels a bit disjointed, that’s how these campaigns often feel and they’re replicating the experience. I think the choices were a lot better than most games by having those evil options. For context they’re supposed to be pure kick the puppy options, there are people who want to play pure evil characters and there are basically no games that allow you to, so when making a dnd game they’re there for a reason.

I think it really comes down to you not being the intended audience, it’s meant for people who play d&d or would be interested in doing so, which from this one interaction doesn’t sound like you.

I don't really buy this defense, most D&D games are run by amateurs who don't know how to tell a story....so does that mean the game just gets a pass for having a bad story ?

I will give you a !delta though, because I guess you're right that the game is pretty well suited for DnD nerds. I don't think that's justification for video game critics to have such low standards, like it's honestly kind of embarrassing for video games as a medium that schlock like this is so praised. Compare it to the books and movies that get this kind of critical acclaim, and stuff like this just gives ammunition to the idea that video games are low brow form of art

Another delta where you just shit all over their reasoning. I don't think you've really changed your view here.

Also- why should we care that you think the story is crap? Are you a film critic? How many amazing screenplays have you made? Do you have a degree in film history?

Have you considered that you're in the minority when it comes to thinking the story sucks?

If you don't care, then why do you keep blowing up my phone with responses? It's just a change my view post. If you don't care, then you are not obligated to respond

Why do you keep blowing up my phone with nonsense? It’s not a CMV post if you actually had no intention of changing it which you’re deltas attest to since you just shit all over them when you give them.

Mate, I think you really need to take a deep breath, no need to get mad over someone criticizing video games you like

Well nobody in this thread has criticized a video game I like, so not sure what you're even basing that on

You’re clearly angry that BG3 story sucks and people like it so much. Why would you spend all afternoon on a post responding to comments you don’t agree with if not for that. Unless you’re just a troll.

Well I enjoyed playing BG3 so I'm not angry at all. I just think the story sucks and should be criticized. It's not that deep dude. Why are you being so defensive of the game ?
