Could be as trivial as a type of food, a TV show, or something more serious.

I was really hoping I'd enjoy Baldur's Gate 3. Apparently D&D is something I'm virtually allergic to, I hated the dice, controls, camera, dice, aesthetics at the start, FOMO and the wrong kind of "genre savvy" fucked me up about content getting locked out - basically I immediately hated all of it enough to put me off.

Shame, because it does seem like a seriously awesome game, just not for me.

The CRPG genre isn't for everyone and while Baldur's Gate does use D&D 5e rules, it's nothing like sitting at a table. Much more like playing Dragon Age and letting you see the calculation.

That said, if you hate dice, yeah, TTRPGs probably aren't for you.
