It just dawned on me that I don't really like D&D, a couple of friends can make it fun, but alone? Eh.
There's clearly a lot of care, love and thought put into BG3, so far the story and characters feel solid enough, the presentation is superb. But the underlying mechanics just make it kind of dreadful to play? Combat in particular feels terrible, I didn't like the tabletop version of it and I like this even less, I don't like the action economy of D&D, you can't execute on anything significant and it rather rewards relying on the same strategies that worked.
Maybe I'll keep on playing it, but I think it just isn't my kind of game. I didn't expect DOS3, yet still I'm kind of dissapointed.
