I don’t consider my cake complete until there’s icing on it 😉
The point still stands, if you’ve already played the game and extra content is added that you might have enjoyed then you might be disappointed that you won’t get to enjoy that content. When you only have a few hours per week to play games you won’t go back if you have other games you want to try, but if you had known more content was coming you would have played something else in the meantime.
It’s extra subclasses. You wouldn’t have been able to play all the subclasses anyway without starting a new run and spending extra time, so your argument is dead in the water from the start. Not that it matters, because your argument would basically be ‘never buy an indie game until its creator is dead’ or ‘creators must never release new content for their games’. The Terraria and Stardew Valley crowd would love your take on this.
My first playthrough was like 200 hours, and I found a bunch of stuff on my second and third playthroughs that I missed the first time. There was really no reason to wait for this game. It’s the best game I’ve ever played. They did iron out some bugs shortly after release, but the game was already great.
While that take is correct in 98% of circumstances, this isn’t one of them for a couple of reasons. BG3 has enough content at release to play for several years and have different experiences each time. The fact that it’s getting free additional content is more so because of people making the game popular in it’s first year, showing that CRPGs aren’t dead, etc. The game won literally every GotY award, for crying out loud.
There’s not a ton of other games I’d say this is bad take, but you know, it’s like complaining about Terraria or Dead Cells or something. At some point you get the game and you return to it periodically.
The only two reasons to put it off? You’re too poor or you don’t have time for a 300+ hour time investment. It’s not gonna get a steep discount anytime soon, though.
Yet another proof that it’s better to just wait until games are completed before buying at a lower price
BG3 was definitely a complete game upon release. This is just icing on the cake.

This game is intentionally designed to not be 100%able. It contains “missable content” and is part of its style
