BG3 was so special, I expect it to win everything that it's in the running for. It's very rare that I'm so invested into a game's story and characters but I was engrossed in that world for nearly 200 hours. I played Starfield straight after which made me appreciate BG3 even more.
Damn, 3 out of 5 games are the same games critics nominated for the GOTY.
I guess players and critics think more alike than people would like to admit lol.
