I will judge both games as and when I have played both games in the state they are supposed to be played and judged in (i.e. full release). Thus PWotR next month and BG3 as and when it is released fully.
Until then there are pointless comparisons between a Beta and an EA Alpha.
As for SP vs MP, sheeesh. I played quite a lot of SP & MP BG1 &2, both were great and having played BG3 MP I can confirm it is a real blast and I am very grateful it is having decent attention. SP is like reading a book, it's my solo experience, my world. MP is obviously more like a board game with your friends. Both can be enjoyed and one is no better than the other, just more appropriate to one's preference at any given moment.
The BG and later, NWM series has always had MP, this should not even be a discussion point. Not including day and night cycle as a result however totally should, because that decision is just daft.
