That's fine and fair.
I know I'm just getting downvoted by people emotionally hurt by me stating I dislike tabletop RPGs. But my opinion is also being informed by my past experience with Larian's other celebrated game, Divinity Original Sin 2. No matter how hyped it was, or how clearly polished it was, I didn't think that game was fun either.
No, you're getting down voted by people for saying "It's hype" while at the same time tacitly acknowledging that you haven't even played it.
I don't see how me playing or not playing the game would disqualify me from recognizing the phenomenon surrounding this game as "hype." It's marketing hype, it's fresh new game hype, it's whatever you want to call it. The game is out, it's popular, people are leaving glowing reviews about it everywhere. That's hype.
Just because I'm calling it "hype" doesn't mean I'm bashing the game, I'm making an observation where I give OP a concise response.
yeah, i like the game and even i can see its hyped in articles and on forums.
every time someone article has the word "polished".
it has tonnes of quest bugs, these type of games always do.
the ui is remarkably good - for this type of game, on steamdeck controller; but it's not a slick ui.
there's always tradeoffs and compromises. complexity of quests leads to bugs, complexity of player choices leads to analysis paralysis/tyranny of choice and cumbersome ui.
Motte and bailey
You nerds sure love putting words in my mouth. People need to calm their titties at best, or just shut the fuck up in general. Everyone's so programmed to just turning every single casual discussion online into a black and white argument of who is right or wrong. (That's you I'm talking about, btw)
