I would argue that right now Owlcat is doing an incredible job with Pathfinder: Path of the righteous. Thats how BG3 should of been. Tons of interesting playable NPCs, 6 party members, huge dialogue trees, lots of classes/kits, good story, even in BEta the UI is fantastic. Turn base modes OR realtime with pause. Ecclesitheurges, Armigers, Hellnights, oracles, scroll savants, stigmatized witches, zen archers, spirit hunters, slayers, expionage experts, eldritch scoundrel etc etc...
And its Pathfinder! WAY more interesting than even D&D5th. Nothing much in the rules are watered down, you get the complete package. As someone mentioned, DnD has been sanitized beyond recognition. Just reading the description for half-orcs in both DnD and Pathfinder shows you who has the balls in this relationship.
DnD: Human tribes and Orcs form alliances, having marriages between the races, producing half-orcs. Pathfinder: Half-orcs are rarely the result of loving unions... Unlike 5e, pathfinder isn't really afraid of showing adult topics.
You are comparing the second game to larians first. If you really want to compare do it with kingmaker, and go look back when they first went live with the game or EA.
Edit* here ill tell you cause it pissed me off, I picked that game up right when it went live, played maybe 30-40 hours and started finding out the build i wanted to do had missing feats. Stuff you was suppose to get was marked unavailable in the tree. An this continued for months, I came back periodically to check and see if the fixed the stuff broken. No, 30-40 hours wasted.
Anyway, i know they continued to break end game stuff on every patch. games not perfect nor is that company and I'd wait a year after release and check forums before purchase.
Edit2* I will give them this though, the guy that made turn based mod for the game. The company actually hired them or payed that guy and incorporated it into the game. I don't know the full story but it sounded pretty good.
