They were good at writing at one time in their company's history, but the writing in POE 1 and 2 is subpar at best.

Your personal opinions, with which I profoundly disagree. Even with PoE2, which we know to have been under-resourced and rushed, I find its story, characters, and quests to be way more interesting than anything Larian has thus far produced. And even PoE2 is well-worth replaying for me.
I agree. No idea how anyone can think the writing in PoE2 is bad. When the NPCs speak I really feel like adventuring in a fantasy version of the spanish main. In BG3 on the other hand I half expect a laugh track playing after every sentence.
