BG3 will be more popular, no doubt there, it'll sell millions more than BG2 did, but whether or not it's better is subjective. Gaming was very different back when BG2 released. 24 years makes a massive difference. BG2 had a budget of what, something like 5 million? And BG3 is probably going to be 100 million? It's hard to compare those objectively.
