I wouldn't say the ending is particularly bad. I found it mostly boring, and not very original. Some decisions felt too forced to feel dramatic. If you have specific ending you want for some NPCs, you might be disappointed.

The annoying thing about that fight is the flimsy positioning, when you're either too far for the golem to stay in lava, or the golem is just too far so your character pathes through lava. Otherwise it's an ok fight.

Nonsense, they made a platformer for apple stuff! Still, going from Dear Esther (which is good for what it is), to an AAA game seems like a bit step up... We'll see how it goes.

That's how it works.

I'm more interested in why BG3 seems to be way more popular than PF:WotR, not really pitting them against each other.

TL;DR: Typical Bethesda game.

You can have sex with one. Everything is called a romance these days.

There are some encounters with a massive amount of enemies, and then you wish this had real-time combat.

The disconnect between severity of crime and punishment in the USA is something bizarre too. IMHO.

Finished the game. Was ok. Last levels had some stupid stuff. Skipped probably over half of act3 because I couldn't be bothered.

5th ed items and infinite respeccing.

The announcement didn't say who was laid off, but some have posted to twitter about it. Seems to include people who have been there since BG, or since DA:O.

Not surprised. BG3 has the sort of snarky smartass dialogue he likes.

They've released some non-news of it the past few years, basically trying to convince everyone they're still making it. Supposedly they made a big design shift in the middle of development, from a more multiplayer oriented to single-player oriented, so taking that into account the development time doesn't seem that strange. Firing lots of veterans is more critical, I'd say.

While he plays a pretty important character, he doesn't have a massive amount of lines. So don't set yourself up for disappointment. Personally, I found his character to not be very interesting.
