  • No shitty P2W mechanic bullshit.
  • Full game on release.
  • no always online requirement.
  • not completely unplayable at launch tripple A title.
  • content amount is worth its purchase value.
  • community mod support, which drives improvements and long term playability.
  • Development transparency on what the game is and where its headed.

Does it have bugs, of course, nothings perfect.

Can't say too many games on the scale of BG3 came out this year that can check as many boxes. It takes GotY for me as well personally.

I also really like these things. I read the article, and I got the sense that their rationalization for picking BG3 as GOTY was based exclusively on the actual game design, and before I say anything else, I agree that the design is fantastic. But, I would love to see Larian get more credit for the transparency during development, their commitment to delivering an experience of the highest quality, and the fairness and respect they give to their player base.

Whether or not a person likes games like BG3 or thinks it deserves GOTY, this stuff alone should be the bar for all games, not the scummy greedy practices we've become so used to seeing. Thank you Larian Studios!
