Ok. The more I play WotR, the more I am finding that it has SO many pluses over BG3:
[...]
11. Lots of versatility with character creation. Yeah, maybe a bit too versatile, but the point is you have plenty of options and can customize your character pretty much like you want. 16. Balanced combat system - for the most part - with solid rules, classes, etc. Again, everything has purpose and meaning. Druids feel like druids, rogues like rogues, clerics like clerics, etc.

Larian. Come on. I'm still holding out hope you can put out a better final product than Owlcat with a truly solid system.
GM4Him, thanks for the report on PF:WOTR. That game is already on my list of games that I will most definitely buy and play at some point (probably when all expansions are out and there's a nice discounted bundle), but your comment still increases my interest for this game.
Now, as much as I can be critical of a number things in BG3, and those are things that are fully in Larian's hands, I feel compelled to point that 11 and 16 sound, fundamentally, more like pluses that PF 1E has over D&D 5E, in your opinion. So it's not really something Larian could do anything about.
Which is absolutely fine. This is the General section of the forum after all, not Suggestions & Feedback. Ultimately, the popularity of the IPs will greatly influence the sales. While the intrinsic merits of the respective rulesets the games are based on will lead various players to prefer one game's gameplay (character progression and combat especially) over the other.
On the hand, I guess, every other point you listed constitutes a valid piece of feedback. I'm not sure how much Nicou and Salo sift through this forums section in search for things that could perhaps, potentially be feedback (as opposed to collecting well-formatted feedback items posted in the Feedback section). Nor whether it's worth you posting those in Suggestions & Feedback section, given how unlikely it is to make any difference at this point. Mostly, I just wanted to separate your "16 reasons why WOTR > BG3" into those reasons that are based on the different source materials and those that Larian could do something about.
