This is tough, BG3 is easily one of my favorite games of all time but the sheer amount of bugs that are still present months after launch prevents me from being able to recommend this game.

One issue stands out above all and I honestly can't comprehend how they messed it up, that being the auto allocation of camp supplies for a long rest. The problem is simple, auto select camp supplies so they add up to the required amount needed for a full long rest. Yet the auto select they have implemented almost NEVER selects the correct amount of supplies, it's almost always more than required leading to waste if you don't manually adjust it. To be clear, it's not that there aren't any valid combinations that evenly add up to the required amount, often it's as simple as de-selecting a single item or switching one for another.

The other big issues I have, general NPC behavior(especially companion pathing/movement), interactions not triggering properly, and performance issues, are all probably fairly technically challenging problems to solve. But for the camp supplies, any freshman CS student should be able to easily write an algorithm to auto allocate them for a long rest. Was it bring your child to work day when this feature was implemented? Even then I was doing far more complex brain teasers in elementary school. I just don't understand how you can get something so basic so wrong. Seriously, whoever wrote the code for that needs to be permanently barred from github and the industry at large.

And this won GOTY? To be clear, I do think it deserves that award(comparatively speaking), but at the same time it serves as a frightening reflection of the current state of our world. It would be like if all the game studios had to write a math textbook, most submissions wouldn't even qualify as books, let alone something that's related to math. BG3 would at least be qualified as a math textbook, but it can't even get 2+2 right, then it wins the Nobel prize.
