100% agree. But if we want to judge the game fairly, the problematic nature of the story should be mentioned. and it's not just that it's generic. there are some problems with certain plot threads.

however, even so, if we are discussing comparison to bg3, WotR takes this game effortlessly

"74.85% of you stood with the Tieflings, and 25.15% of you sided with Minthara. Good outweighs evil, it seems."
