I played WOTR in casual settings and sometimes easy. Something about the combat didn't engage me like Baldurs Gate 3 has.
However the music in WOTR is god tier. It helps the immersion and stakes of what is happening so much.
The other thing I noticed was how awesome the characters are. Yes there are weak ones but all in all its a cast of lovely characters.
The one character I found the most shocking was Wenduag. She starts off as this cynical evil B word that I had to really force myself to choose as a companion because she seemed to have more interesting party banter than Lann.
Wenduag starts of as this groveling minion who calls you master and is romanceable. Her story arc was just amazing and the romance despite starting off as this convenient powerplay companionship that she uses to ensure her own survival becomes this incredibly sad but ultimately wholesome sweet finale.
Hopefully Larien looks into WOTR and draws some inspirations. Especially the romances. Some people think that its the sex animations that are important but nothing is more hilarious than your spider cat girlfriend roasting a succubus lord to her face for flirting with you. Absolutely gold. Thats what really makes a romance worth pursuing in an RPG.
