You know, BG3 is a great experience overall, but I don’t think it’s a great gaming experience. I’ve experienced at least a handful of softlocks that forced me to rewind a decent amount of playtime… and I don’t really think I’m playing in a way that should break the game.
It’s a different game. I go back and enjoy FNV still and FO4 as well because it scratches a different itch. The looting, crafting, settlement construction, etc. are executed much much better than FNV or 3, or otherwise are entirely new mechanics. It’s a whole different thing, it’s the studio pedigree and franchise the games belong to that allow these criticisms to continue on even when you’re comparing games that are radically different beneath the surface.
I can’t bring myself to care after Fallout 4 being mid, and BG3 being amazing.

I save scum because you are 100% correct.
I really enjoyed FO4. It didn’t live up to Fo3 or NV for me, but I still had a blast playing through multiple times.
