Isn’t that pretty much every RPG ever though? Almost all of them have illusion of choice and majority of the time, it doesn’t matter. I will agree with the constricting feeling of BG3, though for me that comes less from dialogue and more from the lack of build variety (which might just be me being really used to 3.5e and not 5e).
Funnily enough, the best game that shows reactivity to your choices isn’t even an RPG, it’s a very fancy CYOA - Detroit: Become Human.
I love BG3 but I will agree that the dialogue options sometimes seem pretty restrictive, or just come out of nowhere, but that's pretty much par for the course for RPGs.
What I really wish they had was more options for relationships, because it's a little annoying how getting into any character's good graces immediately means they're trying to fuck you. I wanna tell Gale that I just wanna be best bros without having to break his poor heart to do so.
And why is Shadowheart so possessive? Sure, I wanna see where that goes, but I also really want to get into Karlach's pants as well as find out how much of a freak in the sheets Halsin is. Why can't we just be one big bisexual polycule? That sounds like it'd be really hot.
You could try getting into a relationship with someone and then spend all your time with the people you actually want to be friends with? You don't get any special cutscenes, true, but after Lae'zel basically threw herself at me because I helped her get through act 1 without fighting the Githyanki patrol I ended up getting way more points with Shadowheart and Halsin.
As far as I know, yes. I almost never play them, but I'm on a D&D kick and I got carried away.
