>5th edition, the worst edition of DnD (not Larians fault)
>…coupled with awful homebrew (is Larians fault)
>cargo cult dice fetishism. The MacGuffin is a spiky d20. Six gorillion dice rolls for no reason, most of which could’ve been take 20 or even take 10
>terrible itemization, meme sets that coerce you into a few shallow builds rather than an interesting array of uniques to fit flexible builds
>reactivity is a farce, a second playthrough dispels the illusion, or even reloading the same conversation a second time
>inorganic theme park world stitched together unrealistically with some new attraction to trip over every 5 feet
>horribly “but thou must!” railroaded plot
>unlikeable characters all rewritten by focus group to be malleable and playersexual
>absolutely garbage plot, also rewritten multiple times until it’s nonsense
>shit tier writing that combines the worst of Eurojank with American millennials from LA and NYC
>game absolutely shits on any characters you might have liked from bg1 and 2
>memey encounter design that’s either boring trash fights, or give enemies totally retarded abilities to make a puzzle fight with one right approach a la SCS, never an organic-feeling mix of enemies or hostile adventurers
>awful AI will suicide rush into your AoEs or will sit there thinking before barking and passing
>Larian promised 17,000 ending permutations and at launch there were 3 with no epilogue slides
>Larian promised a playable upper city then cut it and lied about it
>spent their giant pile of early access money adding pronouns, feminine penises, drag queens, trannies, tranny YouTubers, and vitiligo (for the trannies)
>niggers everywhere, nigger elves, nigger dwarves, nigger halflings
>barrelmancy (unless you want to blow up the dragon in act 1 or the absolute camp in act 2, then the DM disallows it)
