Hahah yes exactly. I know Beth isn’t highly regarded for writing/narrative but it makes Skyrim look like Shakespeare.
I actually thought Skyrim’s environmental storytelling was pretty good to be fair.
And yeah I think you called it with “lazy”. As a writer myself I actually found it almost offensive how utterly dogshit and low effort it was from a company that has the resources to do so much better.
I sincerely got the bends from basically alt-tabbing from the middle of Baldur’s Gate 3’s superlative storytelling straight into “OMG I’ve never seen someone generically mine a rock as good as you” and I had to turn it off (I eventually played it for about 10 hours, but I also initially installed it to a slow SSD and it was also unplayable aside from the garbage intro.)
