Yeah, it was hard for me to get into Path of Exile over D3 and D4, despite being a technically 'deeper' game

Graphics might be good in BG3 but the art style is non-existent. Generic clear skies or scorching red purgatory fantasy setting. People flying around on dragons fighting Cthulhu's aunt. Man I'd love being able to love that.

Speak for yourself, I've found the world art assets in BG3 both high quality and well made. The detail on the characters and their arms and armor is intricate, too.
