Does the game get to a certain point and it hits? (slrpnk.net)

Apologies if this sort of post isn't allowed. So I've given BG3 a go two times now. Both times I've been excited and expected that it's likely something I'll be into. But I get down to it and I just lose steam with it pretty quickly

I was wondering if there's a point early on where it takes a big jump in engaging you and I just didn't get to that point? I didn't really get that far past the starting "spaceship" area (not sure if I should call it that), so I know I haven't given it that much of a chance. I know there'll be many places that are a lot more interesting throughout it

But I dunno, it just doesn't keep my attention. The gameplay doesn't feel that great for me personally. So if it's kinda just more of the same in terms of gameplay, just with the (no doubt) great plot unfolding and better surroundings then it might just not be for me. I mostly play soulslikes, which is obviously pretty different gameplay, and I struggle to get into most games not in that style. I just really wanted to like BG3 so don't want to write it off without asking this. Not saying it's a bad game or anything, it's clearly a masterpiece, but might just not be my thing

I think you need to give it a little more time to see if it clicks. See if you are intrigued and invested in the story and characters. Gameplay gets more interesting and fun once you get more levels, but if you don't really care about whats happening I feel it's just not going to be fun.
