Playing with friends in BG3 rant

Sorry husband if you happen to stumble across this!

My husband games with his friends and I guess I would call them friends by association since they're more than just acquaintances. We've played Diablo together which was a lot fun doing and he does other games with them that I'm not into. We all got BG3 recently and honestly, it just sucks playing with them. I have a lot of fun when it's just me and my husband but it has just been a slog with the other two. I don't mind the exploration because I do it too, but last night it was basically all exploration with almost 0 progression. They're also allergic going back to camp, like please, I need a crumb of my skills and we've already used our two short rests of the daily.

Thing is, I don't understand how they're this slow because if it was just me I could explore, chat up NPCs and companions and progress the story line faster than the amount of time we wasted last night. Maybe I just have high expectations since BG3 is the sort of game I'm into so I know how to effectively use my time without backtracking too much.

I just need to vent because it really isn't THAT big of a deal but better out now so I'm not harboring any ill feelings later.

ETA LOL WHO TOLD REDDIT I WAS SUICIDAL. I PROMISE I DON'T TAKE MY RANT THAT SERIOUSLY. 😂
