Please expand on how it is worse. What is the BG3 equivalent of Arkanis Gath for example? Why didn't the tieflings in BG3 throw my evil character a party after she murdered them, the way the elves in BG2 do after you kill them in Suldanesslar?
I'm not sure I want to get into this game since we're digressing, but if you are talking about reactivity, I think even though it's 20 years old, bg2 is still better. It is more limited, but the story is more cohesive for it.[/quote]
That's would be a big debate whenver more is objectively better. Arguably the best RPG even made would be Witcher2 as it has two seperate chapters, with unique NPCs and questlines, and yet I would argue this was the biggest mistep the series has taken, and the weakest entry because of it's ambitious reactivity.
To me personally, amount of reactivity is irrelevant if I am not engaged in the moment of making the decision or don't care about outcomes. That is something I will not be ever able to argue for objectively.
