Anyone else finished BG3 for the nth time and thought "you know what would be cool - Tav, Wyll, and the Emperor teaming up to navigate a conspiracy that threatens Baldur's Gate"?

my problem is if i enjoy something enough i will be nitpicking. i Will have things to say about where and how it failed. out of nothing but love straight from my heart. unfortunately this often makes me indistinguishable from a hater who has never experienced joy or kindness. such is the amateur critic's burden.

all of my favourite things are like beautiful racehorses that trip over their own feet a hundred times. but they get back up again. and goddamn, you should see them run.

"I'm lying to you but this sentence is technically the truth without context" is such a good trope. Like yes the way that I am spinning these words forms a lies but if you squint I'm actually not lying.

the thing is, that veilguard is such an exceptionally politically incoherent/conservative game in many ways. but bc not a single actual game reviewer has written anything about it, any mention of that gets relegated to "ugh this is just a cringe overinvested shipper/russian bot/right wing stooge/fake fan who hates fun and optimism/bald".

so i'm genuinely unsure if any real criticism is penetrating the echo chamber, which is to be honest kind of bad, given how much cultural impact games have, and how utterly useless this one is in the current political climate? haha? such uniquely antifascist messages as "rebellions are bad because they disrupt the Innocent Middle Class Consumers of the imperial slave state" and "collateral damage in order to avert climate disaster/equalize society is bad and cannot be accepted. collateral damage to maintain the status quo is good, and you don't even need to feel guilty for it" and "what if oppressed minorities HAD caused every problem, in the exact way people already scapegoated them for?" and so on and so forth,
