I loved the chickens.

I`ve been into it before, but I loved the auction house. Not real money one,
but it sure made it a lot easier to avoid some of the annoying grind and
get something out of the good loot for another character thing.
I`m sure I got more than my money`s worth out of the game, but I`ve never
been big into grinding for loot, which is what the game is after you finish
it with each character, so that was that.
I probably mainly liked it because it`s the last game I played for any length
of time with RL friends. I have a friend that`s into a similar game I could
probably go play, Path of Exile, but I just couldn`t get into it.
Multiplayer also had the issue of more people = slower/worse loot,
I found it ideal to be a pair, and playing with randos wasn`t fun, unlike
DS/ER.
I`d love to try some BG3 multiplayer too (really I`d rather run some live
D&D, but can`t stand 3.5e through 5e, and pathfinder which is just 3.5e
going in the wrong direction IMHO, and that`s all anyone I can find wants to
play and time is a bit tight, and I don`t seem to have the stamina to come up
with and flesh out adventures anymore. Yeah modules, but they`re almost
always worse than what I can come up with, with a few exceptions, or
require as much `making it my own` as it would to just make something.)
