They HISTORICALLY make goofy fun super polished games. BG3 is no exception.

My current Top tier immersive RPG game developers includes :

Obsidian (PoE, Tyranny...) Most consistent.
CD ProjektRed (Witcher) <losing their way...>
ZA/UM studios (Disco Elysium) <--------- Looking forward the most to this dev's future projects.
Bethesda Studios (Elder scrolls series...) <losing their way...>
Atom Team (Atom RPG, Turbograd...) <-------- Looking forward to future games.

The thing is that it's fine when you're making a game less immersive when the graphics aren't that immersive to begin with, but the more realistic your graphics become, it comes with the territory that people are going to expect a more realistic immersion.

BG3 looks decidedly more realistic than D:OS2. But yeah, I'm probably preaching to the choir. Let's hope this game blows up and generates a lot of immersive mods to compensate.
