My main gripe: The lack of a glossary/compendium/bestiary.

Right at the star of the game, we learn a character it's a cleric of Shar, and by the way the conversation goes, this is suposed to be a big deal. But why? Why should a I care? That's an exemple of how a compendium of sorts would have an immense value, something to learn about the world of the game without having to look elsewere.

You implying that the average player is gonna read the encyclopedia? why would they when you can google it or look for it in a wiki?

[Hejemeh]

Totally agree. A break down of all the religions/deities would've be an immense help.

This and many other things can be found at:
https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Deities

Damnedable necromancer.

Every RPG should use the Tyranny/Deadfire tooltip system

[TheClosetSkeleton]

There is, literally books about Shar and Selûne in Act 1. Point of playing while new is that you learn about things as you go, or just don't care until the info hits you in the face.

Or pry around the characters to learn about them.

But i want that IG - like DA:O has it, ME has it and propably many other games have it.

I get that. There is a lot you can learn about things by hovering your mouse pointer over them and hitting the T (Inspect) key. For example: this item has Arcane Acuity. Well what the heck does that mean? Inspecting that phrase will tell you.

I agree that system could be expanded to give even more tooltips. But until it happens, for just about anything you don't know, the Wiki will tell you. And the reason I tell people to go there is there are other open-source online info sources for things like Faerun deities, but they contain a lot of info extraneous to the BG3 game itself. The BG3 Wiki focuses only on things found IN the game.

As someone who works as a CEM for ~5 years i can tell you: Bad answer. If i would think like that, i would loose my job tomorrow ^^ BG3 Wiki is nice and all but not a longterm Solution, also a DirectLink to the Wiki would be incredible bad since everyone who hasn't a second monitor would have to use Alt+Tab all the time, if they wanna get more background information around Deities, Characters etc.

I wouldnt say its "peak" but ME and DA:O did an amazing job, especially ME with the voiced Codex Entries, only bad thing is you can't listen to them while you are playin the game. Especially ME1 "exploration" is really anoying after a while, having some sort of "IG Podcast" in the background would have been great.

Diablo 3 when you pick up a codex someone {Deckard Cain, The scholar and various other characters} reads it that would be pretty neat

I personally think it would make for an excellent mod, if Larian won't do it themselves. Some kind of in-game browser that just goes to a referenced Wiki page. Of course, BTW, the Wiki contains walkthroughs, so now that starts to get, well, "cheaty" which is why Larian might not do it themselves.

Modders might not have done it already because until Larian opens up more code to modders, it might not be doable yet.
