I just tried Pathfinder Wrath of The Righteous. This really feels like a totally different game from the cinematic centric BG3.
Ironically?! It feels more like a modernized classic RPG style Baldurs gate game on Turnip steroids! It has BOTH turn based and Real time with Pause to switch freely anytime depending on the battles. The number of classes combinations is mind numbing. Tons of abilities but everything is clearly explained. I have already ran into more playable NPCs than BG3 and I mostly like everyone with a few exeptions; but thats true for all these games including BG3. Music and atmosphere is fantastic. Story and writing is...alright. Nothing amazing nor awful FOR 2022 expectations. Everyone says it gets worst towards the later acts though...something Howcat is currently working on apparently? Big update at the end of the month. Graphics are a bit too cartony for my taste. Still everything is well designed and fits the theme. I love the inventory and UI.
In general I am liking it. I feel I can design MY hero to play and get lost in this world...something I feel lacking in BG3. I feel the world building in BG3 is mainly designed for playing with the Companions. As it stands right now. Your original hero is just a side-kick.

It just reminded me of the bowl of goat's milk that old Winthrop used to put outside his door every evening for the dust demons. He said the dust demons could never resist goat's milk, and that they would always drink themselves into a stupor and then be too tired to enter his room..
