I think you also get the same "cool kids" factor you see with Oscars and movies. A smaller studio putting out a hit is just the "cool" pick, just like some abstract movie nobody sees beats out the big budget flicks.
From the moment this game launched, you could see critics already handing it awards. The story of the smaller studio putting out a hit was just too good to not write.
I still haven't played it, because I know I'm going to buy it and not like it.
Just bought the game... made a custom character but now I'm unsure if I'll get a better experience if I go with an origin character instead?

It doesn't matter. Custom or original , most people would say that it's best to go as a custom character first. This grants you the most narrative freedom and, as mentioned, it lets you enjoy all the fantastic voice acting from your companions. This also gives you a more "outsider" perspective of each of the companion character's personal stories
Cause the game is too GOT DAMN long. Reminds me of people not leaving the Hinterlands in Dragon Age Inquisition. Also the reason why the criticism of the 3rd act never gained any traction. Most people haven't gotten to it and Larian will patch all the rough part out by then.
I've only played a tiny bit, but I'm perplexed as to why this game gets all the rave while a game like Disco Elysium barely got mentioned while being a, imo, much more streamlined and better paced game while having a better storyline and gameplay.
But, as said, I'm not far into BG3, so I might be totally wrong.

2 different games. I haven't played DE, so can't speak for it. BG3 won't be for everybody, It's a terrific game for it genre. The environments during combat plus dialog/cutscenes does separate it from similar RPGs.
Don't think it's for everybody. Combat is bit too slow for my liking but I can recognize it's a fantastic game for gamers who like this genre. Also the way they let you go at every situation any way you want is stellar.

Finally finished it today, put in over 100 hours and I have to say it's one of the best games I've played in a long time. I know turn based isn't for everyone, hell I usually hate it but didn't mind it here.
I went with a warlock, doing a semi evil run, some of the stuff you can do is pretty ruthless and funny.
I've clocked in 125 hours and just about to wrap up Act 2.
