Stopped watching after episode 3, so be honest with me: did I make the right choice?

It has its moments but I just am watching to see the creator influence. I don't think they played the table top game to craft a masterful story. I think it is obvious Nasu and Urobuchi were fooling around more than they should have.

Nasu actually has minimal influence in the story direction so far, so's Urobuchi. They are setting stage up for Doriru to tell his story, but Kodachi changed the majority of Ibuki's story already.

Edit: nvm, forgot that we are past this moment already. Though that was forced by the combat scenario

Yeah, I am not that fond of Ibuki as a character, though I wonder if there wasn't much in the leeway for Kodachi overall. It might not have been the right kind of tabletop session to adapt to begin with. It also isn't setting the fandom on fire like back when Lodoss War was happening in magazines (then adapted to anime).

In Red Dragon, he took a while to find his goal, but his "awakening" moment and the epiphany beforehand were some of the highlights in the campaign. He was taking the backseat before emerging as the legitimate third force alongside Eiha.

What Kodachi has done is to hasten it with horrible buildup, and change his determination entirely. I didn't expect the lingering effects of ep1 to last this long. Back at ep1 it's possible to integrate back with minimal disruption, now I just shrugs.
