The proliferation of LLM spam websites has made it completely impossible to search for any video game related information. Every search returns hundreds of sites with the same garbage chat GPT articles derived from Reddit or game wikis. Ironically, this makes the source material impossible to find. It’s really dire.

I’ve been playing Divinity2 Original Sin and have googled maybe 30 terms. And get good results. Even on ddg. Almost always in the top five results always first page.
Try that for baldurs gate 3. The trash results that are returned might have what you're looking for, after scrolling past the SEO highschool essay style intro and after closing the mid page JavaScript embedded nag window.
The results are functional but the sites they are on are absolute trash and should never be listed so high if it weren’t for SEO tricks
I've probably searched 100 BG3 related questions on Google in the last week or two and have always found what I needed.

Including one particularly panicked search because I sold the ceremonial weapons from Rosalyn Monastery.
