‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ can be a fantastic experience and a bad game at the same time.

I experienced an instant game over a couple hours in on my first playthrough on the crashed nautiloid. When I found the wounded mind flayer, I tried to peer into his mind and failed the roll leading to him overpowering me. I became a thrall while Asterion and Shadowheart watched. No option to revive during the cutscene.

There are plenty of warnings against doing that, you chose to ignore them and do it anyway, you paid the consequences (I did it too once XD).

That's fair game, we were curious to see what happened BUT you can't say the game is bad just because actions have consequences, not "you" personally, it's the article saying that, it's bullshit.
