>Third, the characters immediately start trying to have sex with you. Very attention-grabbing.
>Fifth, your companions are interesting people, funny, flawed, and charming in equal measure.
You can tell he struggled to say anything good about the companions, beyond the most bland generalities.
>More importantly, they immediately start making demands of you.
Gale does. Technically Lae'zel does too but if you try to acquiesce her, you first go through brutal for level 2 characters encounters to be greeted by an immersion-brekaing prompt that the next area is for high-level chars, so you turn back with her bitching away.
>Like, you need their help, but they immediately make it clear they won't fight for free. Another example of giving interesting choices early only.
No, they don't. Not even Gale. He takes his time until he starts asking for items.
>What really impresses me about this is that while BG3's story is really involving, you never actually see that many words.
>However, let's be honest ... In 2024, a game with a ton of reading can do well, but it won't be a megahit.
Who gives a shit. If you want to make a megahit go make an addicting mobile game for boomers.
>muh actors
Yes, they help make up for lack of any good story or characterization for the average glue sniffer. This isn't storytelling.
>muh unions
Pandering to caviar socialist zoomers.
>That's the storytelling aspect of it.
To sum up, he barely started saying anything about storytelling, most of it false or generalities and then he finished.
