Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 9191679" data-attributes="member: 18">That's a fair response - I may be excessively cynical because I have a seen a lot of people trying to play down real issues that BG3 has on various forums, discords, reddits etc., and so tend to interpret anything I see as obscuring those issues rather negatively, which was unfair in your case. BG3 is an amazing game to be clear, but it has irked me how a significant number of people (not so much here, and I see you weren't intending to) on the internet feel the need cover up flaws/issues rather than to allow that they exist in an otherwise-amazing game. Witcher 3 got very similar treatment for a couple of years after it came out, I note, it seems to be "a thing" with whatever game is currently "top dog". Skyrim got it for a few years too but I note Starfield has not, which has left some BGS fans feeling rather embittered because suddenly their defences and dismissals of criticism aren't working like they used to.(The inverse can happen too if a game has significant flaws at launch - c.f. Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect Andromeda, and Cyberpunk 2077, all of which got negative reputations wildly outsized to the problems with them, and which took years to clear.)</blockquote>
