My issue was before that.
I'm not willing to give my real IP for almost anything, let alone illegal activity. It's a hard dealbreaker.

The Zelda titles also choke on the switch lol.
It's not all as much gore as the brain parasite, but it's full of scenes that are every bit as dark and fucked up. I won't list anything in particular detail because of spoilers, but i've seen dozens of things that are super fucked up, and I'm not even out of act 1. I've had numerous people want to rip out eyeballs, failed a dice roll to mind control an enemy into eating himself, been suicide bombed, had a slave incubator for a witch go apeshit on me for rescuing her, and loads more. It's absolutely super dark.
Are you playing with a controller or M/KB?
There are plenty of other CRPGs (good search term) that are fine with a mouse/keyboard. Larian kind of stands alone in terms of how well they handle with a controller though. Divinity Original Sin 2 is still dark, but not as in your face about it.
Other terms that have similar battles (but generally more closed maps) are tactical RPGs, strategy RPGs, turn based tactics or turn based strategy. I can't break down the lines between any of those sub-genres, but they're all kind of in the neighborhood. A lot of them are also dark, though.
The rest is just a classic fantasy setting.
There's a lot of really grim and dark fantasy, but it's definitely not all of fantasy. BG3 is full of super dark stuff with or without the gore.
I pay for my content on basically every other platform. I have a hacked pirate switch because Nintendo's business practices are particularly obnoxious.
Is it "justified"? Fuck if I care. But they're the only games I don't legally acquire, and it's because they're jackasses.
