Eh, to each their own I guess. I absolutely adore BG3, and although I put in 300 hours worth of multiple play throughs on Pathfinder Kingmaker, I still say BG3 is better than both Pathfinder games by leaps and bounds. WoTR I had to stop at 48 hours in. I found the story to be a bit cliché, the characters uninteresting and the crusade mode an atrocity (painfully boring slog). It all must boil down to individual preferences I guess. I also happen to love the BG3 characters. They are some of the best written since BG2 and Dragon Age Origins IMO. Some of the characters in the Pathfinder games, to me, come off as either cartoonish (like straight out of an anime) or very bland and boring (Sosiel).
I love BG3 and while I don't believe there is such a thing as a perfect game, BG3 has been a delight for me. Not much that I would change about it (except maybe Wyll's stats. Come on, give that man some more dex! 🤣🤣🤣)
Good points. The writing in BG3 has been good. Some of the WOTR characters are pretty flat and some are anime waifu but give Daeran some credit - while he has fewer lines than any BG3 character some of lines are real gems. And while I find adoration that Regil receives disturbing, he's a well written NPC with great voice acting.
While I appreciate Larian taking community feedback I still want irritable, scowling Shadowheart to come back - she's supposed to replace Viconia not Aerie (for Mystra's sake!)
I also think the Paladin oaths show the weakness of trying to run DnD without alignment - A lawful good, Oath of Devotion Paladin *should* fall for poisoning the goblin punch bowl and attacking non threatening goblins. A chaotic good, Oath of Ancients Paladin should not. The goblins are burning down trees and spoiling the environment, it's time to take them out.
I feel like the space to talk about such matters have been eliminated but I do get this is WotC's doing and not Larian's.
Thus far, Wrath feels more like BG2 than does BG3 - perhaps that will change when meet Jaheria and Minsc.
