very early game soft spoilers

I managed to play an hour or so of the game. The early part feels really boring. Disregard that I tried to fly my spaceship to Kreet for five minutes without realising that I had to press A and select it to land on it because I probably skipped some tutorial prompt. When I get to New Atlantis the game feels really lifeless. There are many interactable characters around with good voice acting but the combination of the atmosphere, the music, the way that conversations go, the generic chosen one plot, it feels really boring.

Does it get better?

Also my diplomat character cannot persuade for shit.

I have 104 hours in BG3 and have not yet passed Act I LOL

Not to say the endings aren't underdeveloped, you are almost certainly right there, I am just unsure if I will even see them before they're updated!

Entire game took me 150 hours with trying to go everywhere and do everything and i'm a veteran who played nearly every single such game, so yeah, the size and scope of game is impressive. About the acts i think act 1 is the biggest with the matryoshka dungeons (and don't forget to go to monastery to get the legendary Lathander morningstar!), lower city in act 3 is very big plus all the buildings and sewers. Act II is the smallest and it's good since its pretty dreary and boring (do the harpers quest asap to get the freedom of movement).

Much of the reason it's taken me so long is down to a combination of poor performance and constantly, constantly rerolling characters because something else seems so interesting at the moment. Oo, I've read Drow are treated very differently! How will the tiefling/druid conflict resolve in the face of a tiefling druid? I think I'll try Wyll's story! What if Karlach and Shadowheart fell in love? Bah! There is simply so much to enjoy.
