But let's put things in perspective. If Kingmaker was designed as well as BG3 you would be able to:
1. Fight the Stag Lord and kill him and become a baron(ess)
2. Sneak in and chat with him and join him to fight against the Sword Lord's
3. Join Tartuccio and work with him to acquire the relic and take over
4. Possibly convince the Stag Lord to surrender peacefully.
And who knows what else. BG3 has SO many ways it could play out. That makes it superior to so many other RPGs.
I'm not convinced of this at all, and will need to wait until I get to see the whole game. I base this on what I read being discussed here and on other forums, and on watching youtube videos and streams of people playing the game.
I feel very strongly that BG3 likes to talk the talk about giving players all these options. But I don't buy that it walks the walk. I see only what amount to superficial or fake or lame or railroad-y "options" for players that are not *real* options. There's always only one option that is the real option, the one you are supposed to pick, and then other possible ways of doing things that are not even close to being equivalent to the main option.
