@Cayhr @ChristiJunior @bleedingphoenix The writing was superficially okay at times. Much of it – probably through heroic effort on the part of one or two unpozzed staff – managed to rise above the Whedon-poisoned dreck we were bracing for, at least at the line level. There were some clever parts. It even had one or two moments I was able to label "cute", at least in structural terms.
But it very quickly became apparent that Baldur's Gate 3 is about the kind of abusive relationships that artsy proglets somehow keep getting themselves into (:thinking_rotate: ). Every party member was or is in one. The major questline has the player constantly wondering if they're being gaslit.
Legitimate thing to explore? Certainly. Over and over, suffocatingly, from every angle? Tiring. With every single one of these inpatients trying to jump into our pants at even the slightest provocation? Exhausting.
We eventually formed the headcanon that our characters just hung out with Withers at camp because he was the only one who wasn't going to trauma dump and then try to crawl into our bedrolls.
