Probably some cope that BG3 was as successful as it was because it supported multiplayer. I'm sure that helped, but that was just a cherry on an already delicious sundae.

People will ignore/overlook/forgive whatever the few(ish?) woke elements of a game like BG3 because its a great game, and it doesn't seem like the whole point of it is as a vehicle for an ideological agenda. DA:VG is the worst of all worlds: It's a terrible-to-mediocre game that disregards its IP/genre history without any redeeming qualities, whose production seems to have focused on all the wrong things, i.e. their agenda, rather than the game play. For dyed in the wool zealots though, that seems to be all that matters; that you be double gay/trans/have zipper tit scars outweighs how the combat is.

That's why the Iron law of get Woke, go broke never fails: For these radicals, the "woke" part is all that matters", rather than any of the other things actually matters to paying customers.

As if BG1 and BG2 2+ decades ago weren't? Hell, I've only ever completed ALL of the BGs as multiplayer experiences. Total cope.

They were multi for sure. I only did BG1 & 2 and the icewind dales in multiplayer.

Planescape Torment was pure single player (and the best of the lot).

Oh, weird. Just looked it up, and yea, they had it as an option. Sounds kinda shitty, where only the host was the main PC and could progress the game.

I had MMOs for the online experience, so probably dismissed it out of hand.
