Still do not understand why people are so adamant about keep playing without touching the difficulty options if they are not enjoying the game. It´s one of the few games that have so many options to customize your experience. I understand if you may not like the tabletop ruleset, or a party-based game, do not like the story etc, but if the problem is that the encounters are too tough... but well, to each their own.
Bg3 still have time and wiggle to improve but right now I´m going for PF: WoTR. The character creation system and combat rules of the former are too simplistic and monotone for my tastes (I do not even blame Larian, it´s a 5e thing. It works well in the tabletop, but it's a little lacklustre for videogames, at least for me. It also happened to me in Solasta) and I do not think that is going to change in the final version of Bg3. The environmental interactions are superb and fun to play tho. I also find their depiction of the Sword coast very faithful to the original, with lots of easter eggs and lore about other campaigns and characters.
What I found in WotR are lots of ways of roleplay, unique dialogues, world reaction to your choices, the characters and interactions with NPCs and companions (To be fair WotR has much more and the Mythic paths have their own story). That´s one of the things I enjoy the most about games, replaying the game and find different dialogues or different paths depending on your choices, like in Alpha protocol, tyranny, etc. I do not know how it´s going to be in BG3. Still have hope for the game. It's still a beta.
But right now I played the druid beta of Bg3, didn´t touch the game in months. Finished Solasta twice, never played it again. Black geyser keep me entertained until I started Wotr. I have more hours in Wasteland 3 than in the other two combined. Right my hours of WotR have three digits, so I think my preference is clear. I have to say I also played a lot the first game, mostly the endless dungeon after finishing the game several times.
In the end, I´m overall overjoyed about the RPG titles coming this year. We were in a time of a new golden age for CRPGs, with many titles coming. I thought at first that they were going to overlap, but so far we could play the beta of Bg3, enjoyed Wasteland 3 , then Solasta and the Black geyser beta, and now I assume we could play PF:WoTR until bg3 comes later on. In the end, I didn´t even have to choose. Just save money ( a lot). As Tali would say, Still totally worth it.
