Baldur's Gate 3
I'm deep enough into the game where I feel comfortable saying that the game is excellent (the only way I could dislike it at this point is if we get a Game of Thrones-esque implosion as a conclusion). That being said I do have a lot to critique, although it also doesn't feel fair to do so, given that the game is so massive and mechanically complex that it was destined to have many flaws

The only Major Criticisms I have so far are
- Shadowheart's arc in Act II, which doesn't feel completely earned. It's a particularly unfortunate thing because her story in the broad strokes should work, but in execution her choices feel flip-floppy instead of conflicted
- The combat, which can be very tedious for too many reasons to contain in a simple bullet point.
- Wyll, for being boring (but he shouldn't! his story has a lot of interesting potential! how is he boring!!! kind of reminds me of Asami from legend of korra, in that the things that happen to him are more interesting than the character itself)
The combat has a lot of great things about it so it's not all bad. But it's the combat which has drained me the most in my playthrough (I probably should not have played on tactician tbh)
