I quite enjoyed The Outer Worlds and preferred it to some of Obsidian's other games; but as much as some of BG3's mechanics might not be entirely to my taste, I'd rather that than first-person which seems to be their current "thing". It was the only bit of TOW I wasn't so keen on.
I don't worship everything about Obsidian, I tried Outer Worlds and gave up after 10 minutes that game is frankly a triple-A piece of s**t. Before trying out Pillars I was skeptical from all the bad reviews, but I started and couldn't stop, played through both Pillars games and had a grand time. I can't even finish the Original Sin games because the slow turn-based combat is so maddening and unfun.
