I haven't played BG3 yet because I wasn't very impressed with Divinity 2, so that's interesting to hear. I'll probably wait until BG3 hits the $30 mark.

Gaming is full of fandoms that try to hype certain works to the absolute moon, until it borders on brainwashing. A lot of people just fall in line and accept the most hyped opinion as their own. If someone goes against the grain, they run the risk of being attacked, so they usually keep that opinion to themselves.

I felt the same thing about E33, but I am sure that is heresy to most people.

E33 is the JRPG fixer 

I realized your enjoyment with E33 is directly proportional to how low tolerance you have towards JRPGs issues 

I need to play it more for a definitive decision. But from what I have played so far it feels a lot like the Divinity Original Sin games and I love those.
So far I like BG3, but to me its more of the same.
It seem to have more depth of characters, paths and lore making it a better candidate to replay again and again and if it was not so darn big, that would be a plus in my book.

BG3 also released in a time where many games felt like scams content wise, locking content as dcl on discs and other shady things, and here comes this massive game doing the things others said could not be done. When developers try to downplay the expectations based on not being able to deliver on the same level as another specific game. One have to think that game really is something special.

Yes, though I would say the same for Elden Ring and Clair Obscur all of which are games that I like. In my Late Look of the game I gave it an 8.5/10 (17/20), which is GotY candidate material but not something I'd place among the best of all-time, as some do.

Strong points:

• Very satisfying gameplay
• Strong party of characters (none that make my list of absolute favorites but all but one are very likeable imo)
• Building your character and roleplaying elements
• Story (though I think it falls a bit short of the very similar Dragon Age: Origins in this regard)

Detractors:

• Item clutter which is made worse by having 6+ inventories
• Act 3 had a lot of content that felt less enticing in my opinion, not quite "filler" but not as good as the rest
• Traps, dear god the traps!
• Bugs (arrive at act 3 only to realize your animal companion is still stuck on a tree stump in act 1)

In a word. No. Not liking something doesn't instantly make it overrated.

Maybe you're the type that likes super crazy characters and items, like a pink barbarian raccoon or a wand that makes everybody piss themselves or something.
If that's your taste, fair enough. BG3 is more like standard D&D fare and and a damn good one at that.

Oh people. I'm not sating the game is bad. It's great but for the shear hype, like Elden Ring and E33 are deserving of the hype, I'm left a little underwhelmed. The game is still brilliant, I was just expecting sonething better than DOS2. Alas, this is going for Wrath of The righteous but more mainstream and production value. Maybe my expectations are the problem, it is near three years since it released and games often do feel better when you're part of the hype cause it hypes you back.

But the game is better than DOS2 though

I usually view people who use the word overrated as being self-absorbed.
