    Yeah. BG3’s exceptional because it doesn’t need to sacrifice that stuff.

      Yup. And I wish more AAA titles took more risks in gameplay and storytelling, but those seem to be few and far between.

      Starfield is a fantastic example. If you asked me to describe a Bethesda game set in space, it would look a lot like Starfield (but I probably would’ve missed the procedural generation). Usually AAA games are pretty much as expected, with one or two surprises on the side, and that’s it.

      BG3 basically delivers on Cyberpunk’s promises (branching storylines, mocap, great visuals, etc), and it did so on launch, which is really rare.
