    Pretty good. BG3 is probably my favorite game ever, but you can definitely tell the “intended stuff” got a bit more attention than the “unintended stuff”.

    For instance, the criminal system where you get thrown into an incredibly easy to escape jail cell and then just…. do is goofy, but it’s also fine because the large majority of players simply won’t commit a ton of crimes while playing a narrative RPG

      The majority will also want a fairly easy way to get out and back out and onto the good path, since that is what the game encourages in theme initially. Easy escape lets them see that there are consequences without feeling like the punishment is ongoing.
