Once upon a time, the codex was a place that championed choices and consequences in games. Championed games that let you play different roles, with genuinely different outcomes and playstyles depending on those roles. Sometimes, even championed RPGs that were more tactical, had multiple party members, and/or were turn based compared to the garbage that we were being fed for the decade between Bloodlines and wasteland 2.
Sometimes with the criticism of this game I wonder what ppl are even comparing it to? This is the kind of game we wanted for years on end and thought would never be possible again, and now that we have it this forum is just non stop bitching about it as if there are a ton of options out there for turn and party based RPGs with actual choice, consequences, and role playing.
Never underestimate the butthurt people feel for something cool and niche they like becoming popular, I guess.
I agree that the combat can be on the easy side , although honor mode has been changing that and kicking my ass. Overall this game has way more to offer on the "role playing" front than BG1 and BG2 ever did, and that's worth celebrating imo.
But sure, complain about there being too many gay people I guess, how edgy.
