I frequently fall into the trap of buying a very popular game because it's very popular and highly acclaimed, but then they turn out to be games that are not for me for whatever reason. Like RDR2 was just way too slow paced for me. BG3 seems like it is just not the type of game for me, as I'm not really into D&D or that style of RPG at all.
And yet, I'm SO tempted to play it. If Starfield weren't coming out in less than a month, my curiosity would probably get the better of me. But I need to finish all games I have started on, because once Starfield releases, I'm not sure when I will stop playing it.
My original plan was to get both at release. I've played an amount of Baldurs Gate that is possibly best described as unhealthy, and I think I might hold off on Starfield until I'm done with it. It's Bethesda, a bit of delay will hopefully give them time to patch some of the worst of the issues it's bound to have.
