I never finished Baldur's Gate 3, so you're not the only one to lose interest in a highly praised and very popular game.

I just got so sick and tired of illithid shit. I was already bored and tired of them in the previous Baldur's Gate games (and everywhere else they showed up since 90s CRPGs and onward) and they just. kept. dominating. the. narrative.I was willing to just put up with the tadpole thing as an annoying but perhaps obligatory plot hook (because D&D's owners have "original creatures do not steal" they have to push in their IPs, and Watered-Down-Lovecraft is included there), but when I got tired of the over-saturation especially at the end of Act 2 where "SURPRISE! MORE GOOPY TIMES" I read forward to see if it'd ease up.
Sounds like it didn't, not by enough.
I don't know why, but BG3 just seems entirely bland and unappealing to me. I can't pinpoint it. No interest in trying it.
I sort of had fun, though I think the Pathfinder CRPGs are better in every way that matters to me.
