It's an unpopular opinion but as I see it, TOTK is wildly overrated, as is BotW. Yes, they are very polished and certainly good games but the 10/10 across the board made me doubt my sanity. The latest Zeldas are basically Ubisoft open worlds with a couple mechanics borrowed from Garry's mod. It's fun the first few hours but the lack of variety and absence of any writing really make it dull IMHO. I managed to finish BotW for the novelty and the occasional detail (the lightning hitting you when holding metal is a nice touch) but I'd die if my life depended on me remembering any character interactions. BG3 Otoh, not only is it also very polished, it has sublime combat and absolutely unforgettable characters. Truly a masterpiece.

I didn't have a very polished experience at all with BG3, maybe because I played too close to the release date?

It was very frustrating to be honest, but at least they are still fixing the game

What type of issues have ya had? I haven’t encountered any game breaking bugs myself.

It has been a long time but we played couch co-op and whenever the turn would change between players we had to wait like 5 minutes lol

There were certain skills if used in combat that would also trigger a freeze. Sometimes one of the players would be completely unable to control their characters and we had to reload the game.

Plus the fact that act 3 felt unfinished and rushed and didn't follow the peace of the rest of the game
