like my final bg3 take is that im glad they included earnest weirdo shit in the game (durge, emperor kissy, the torture freak, lz and gale being into sweat, raphael opera moment) bc i was not expecting that kind of shit from a AAA DnD game at all. im glad they at least had that little wiggle room bc everything this high budget gets so fucking sanitized all the time you cant feel the love through it at all. like it could have bene better but also materially i feel like they would not have managed it bc of the pressure of appealing to the widest audience as possible (and most people are normies) so they simply did not have the freedom of a smaller indie project. i was expecting it to be just okay but instead it was pretty good.
