I imagine studios will be rushing to make them off the back of BG3's success. It's better if a game is made in it's own time from passion, rather than trying to cash in on a current trend/genre popularity.

Even with the time they had, you can tell that Act 3 didn't get nearly the love that Act 1 did. I imagine anything done in a rushed manor won't have the charm.

Game should have ended in Act 2, the game does start to fall apart in Act 2 but Act 3 is absolute fucking mess. A shorter more polished experience would have been preferable for sure.

Preach. The Act 2 to Act 3 transition is brutal. >!The BBEG is marching on the city. Better stop to catch a circus act and have ASMR sex with three hookers.!<
