For the record, my standards are still quite different from yours - I for example ultimately consider trannylator shenanigans relatively minor issues (still worth calling out mind you) only worth a -1 except in extreme cases (-3 being my dealbreaker point), but Baldur's Gay 3 doesn't have just one or two issues, it's pretty much constant leftist bullshit in some way or another, at which point it also seriously impacts enjoyability and artistic quality (Current Year politics just make for shit writing in general, see that AI Somnium Files clip I like to refer to). It's also at that point where you're basically polluting your own mind by spending many hours in such a gaming world.
