I am playing this too and do enjoy what I've been doing. However it does feel that the game hasn't improved much from DDDA. The Dragonplague thing is quite annoying and I am thinking of stopping for a while before they have done something to it. I really cannot recommend this game to others as for now, which is sad.

I remember how I was amazed when they showed that you could pick up shot arrows in Oblivion. Now I am not even going to click this link for whatever the drip feed information it contains. Seeing what Bethesda, Blizzard and Ubisoft have become, 17 years old me would be very disappointed in today's game industry.
They basically weren't aware of the game before it got GotY and some even got sour that it won more awards than Zelda. (There was even a forum thread named something like "[sad news] a game that no Japanese has heard of has won GotY" which was quite hilarious.)
Then after the launch many players are surprised of how much freedom the game provides, and enjoy multiplayer sessions, classic big explosions, Talk with Animals, Scratchy the dog and Grease + fire combo, etc. There were some players that dropped the game with weird reasons tho, from "not anime enough" to "I thought this was an action RPG??" and even "I like RPGs but not TRPGs (??)" I'd say BG3 seems to be more like 50/50 in Japan because how its structure is different from JRPG's, but those who enjoy the game are really fond of it.
Unfortunately Twitter/X is still the fastest way to find Japanese fan bases for almost everything. For example Baldur's Gate 3 just got its Japanese launch last month, and it's been fun to see their thoughts since they are not familiar with DND settings or CRPG all together. Many Japanese users I follow don't like what Musk's doing to Twitter as well, but they are also not sure about other platforms so it's kind of it is what it is situation now.

Reminds me of people complaining their vanilla flavored things having nasty little black dots.
Exactly. I was planning to just migrate to their official app after July 1. I mean yes the app may be an ad filled shitty experience but such can be said as well for Facebook and Instagram. Companies need money and I am perfectly fine with that.
It's Huffman's AMA that made me actively seeking Reddit alternatives. It was that bad.
I am glad that "I googled why I was coughing and it said I had cancer and would die in 7 days so farewell you are a good friend" will live on for more years.
