  1. The original vision for the game would have been better. EA was more interesting.

  2. Pacing and toes of gear is done poorly. There's swords for days but only 2 interesting tridents, war picks, or hand axe for example. There's barely any usable druid gear (anything that actually matters if you wild shape). And the most useful stuff for monks is found only in act 3.

  3. A lot of people are nitpicky only because it won so many awards and it's not their own perfect game (if such a thing exists).

I still give this game a 10/10 for what it is. Despite knowing if it baked another year it might have been so much more.

It was too long and had too much content.

Seriously, though. In the last act, Baldur's Gate was so huge and took so long to explore that it destroyed the momentum of the overall story. (The evil army is invading! Oh wait, they are now hiding underground doing nothing, so that you can take your time exploring the city).

I strongly dislike turn-based combat and I would love an option for real time combat. I just want fights to be over, they distract me from enjoying games. With real time combat I just mash the same attacks until it is over. BG3's combat is a fucking chore and it's the only reason I abandoned the game on the second map (in that monastery ruin).
