WotR is a great game. It took me a while to get into it (tavern fight... almost killed it for me, then I left it for a few weeks, then tried again, then I loved it and played about 600 hours so far).
From graphics / presentation BG3 is FAR superior, of course. While WotR is beautiful, too, it's by far not as polished and "high end" as BG3.
Gaming wise... I mean, the mythical paths (in my case especially Azata, the one I like best) and the very intense story of Arueshalae is something where I hope BG3 will have something on par with it. Also there is the option to get a dragon companion, hm...
So from what I can tell now is that BG3 will easily be among the 5 best games I have ever played. Together with Horizon Zero Dawn and D:OS2 (1600 hours on my steam account). Question is: will it be place 1? Will it be right in front or right behind WotR?
Depends on the intensity of whats to come. As I said - WotR has mythic paths with that certain "the boss music plays, but it's because of me, not of the boss", it has Arueshalae and it has Aivu (the dragon companion which made me go... "wow, seriously? I get a cute dragon companion who hits like a truck and is fun to talk to at the same time?").
However, Larian suprised me with D:OS2, too... I never thought that I would get into CRPGs again after the 90s, so I think Larian can pull something off that will champion WotRs special place in my heart.
