My anecdote for this is that I missed one of the post-finale companion dialog sequence scenes because a choice in a different character dialog scene prematurely ends the entire sequence, and in act 2 a blacksmith NPC didn't show up for me where he was supposed to so I had to put off a companion's quest until he appeared in act 3 (coincidentally, same companion whose finale scene is bugged). I also experienced some performance hits and crashes in acts 2 and 3, which I could consistently replicate by having my main character hit enemies with a melee weapon in fights that went on longer than 5 turns. That was seemingly fixed before I finished my first campaign a week ago. I also had a couple of crashes entering dialogs in busy parts of act 3, but updating my drivers and setting a more conservative frame limit (72, down from 144) remedied those. Was it perfect? No. Frustrating? Yes. Did I persevere and try to find solutions to the problems I experienced before whinging about it on Twitter? Trick question, I don't have a Twitter account.
Careful what words you put in my mouth. If that's the standard you're going to set, you're hopelessly deluded and not worth talking to about this at all. Literally no game works as intended on release because nobody intends for bugs to exist or crashes to occur, and this is especially true on PC where there is an impossibly large number of hardware combinations and external factors that can affect a game's performance. Again, calling BG3 a scam because it isn't literally perfect is asinine. Haters gonna hate.
Mate, the words that you yourself are putting in your own mouth are a bit salty, especially coming from a moderator, do you not consider ?
You are saying I am " asinine ", " hopelessly deluded ", " not worth talking to ", a " hater "........... I am none of these things.
Well, are you impressed by how Larian " delivered " on Act 2 and Act 3 ?
I mean as an honest, professional, product quality, critique?
Not too sketchy and obviously rushed for a premature launch ?
You did not feel the game " content " falling off progressively after a solid Act 1 ( which had the benefit of EA, and for nearly 3 years )?
Many are now saying BG3 was released way too early and needs a lot more work, re both writing and polish.
I am interested in how that comes about.
Because a game can instead be launched when it really is ready.
Nothing to do with some concept of " perfect " ( a word you put in my mouth ).
True, BG3 is still a better effort than Taleworlds' Bannerlord debacle.
