A good example of this is Red Dead Redemption 2
Well its not, because it's not an RPG. It also feature a pre-made character - a complete opposite is what BG3 should strive for.
There are different types of RPG, let's first agree on what Role Playing Game means:
"A role-playing game (RPG) is a game in which players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting. Players take responsibility for acting out these roles within a narrative, either through literal acting, or through a process of structured decision-making or character development. Actions taken within the game succeed or fail according to a formal system of rules and guidelines."
Somehow people incorrectly thinks that RPGs are only those games where you level up, unlock perks and attributes and have simple math based combat systems. I can understand that mistake coming from the idea that the first tabletop RPGs had those elements, but that was due to the time and the technology. Games have evolved, and thankfully we have plenty more system options nowadays.
I do agree with the part that is easier done with a pre-made character, but I would rather choose a voice from a series of pre-made "personalities" than playing with a mute character.
