BG3 was my first Larian game and I absolutely loathed getting into combat situations. It just took too long for the CPU to make decisions, I wish there was a fast-forward button for their turn. Overall, I didn't feel BG3 respected my time and felt I was constantly under leveled on every encounter, even on easy. Even when I returned for a 3rd attempt at the game and tried to save scum my way through, I felt it was way too slow. Never made it past act 1. I don't get the hype for it. I realize I'm in the minority with how well it scored and how much people praise it. I just don't see it nor appreciate it.

    Would I be right in guessing that you didn't come to it from D&D? The computer taking 20 seconds to finish its move is positively frantic compared to the 30 minute waits I've had at some tables for everyone else to make their move...

    Correct, I've never done D&D in general. I've been slightly curious, but then again I get that a tabletop experience would take longer, and it seems like it could also be a frustrating experience at times.

    huh, I only just noticed that Dan Harmon wrote and acted in that

    also context for any Gen Zs who may have stumbled on this thread: the original audio skit pre-dates the video, and was presented as a response to the 80s/90s "Satanic Panic" where the Christian Right were actively campaigning against D&D as dragging your kids into evil Satanist rituals.
