Wrath of the Righteous is an incredible game and as far as I'm concerned it is leagues ahead of Baldur's Gate 3 by most metrics. I'm hoping Owlcat moved to warhammer because they wanted to work on something new and not just tie themselves to being the "Pathfinder studio," both of which seem like very reasonable things to do and that down the line they'll tackle PF2.
Also I do not want Larian's hands anywhere near anything Pathfinder. If Owlcat don't want to do anything with the 2e system then give it to someone else who will sctuslly respect it and not twist mechanics for immature "cool factor," ignore and disregard lore or publicly laugh at and mock the races they don't find interesting.
I find this somewhat amusing as Owlcat has played hard and loose with Pathfinder rules even if they like to pretend otherwise. They use a completely custom CR system, for example, and if you but take five seconds to look a the ridiculous amount of work mods put in adding stuff any TT people would call basic, even mandatory, you'd see just how much work they DIDN'T put in.
Those implementations of core campaign mechanics are also always terrible, even if it's the whole point, like Kingmaker's, uh, kingdom-building system and are widely despised. That's without mentioning how buggy their games are.
I think Owlcat does okay with Pathfinder... frankly, I think their writing is master-tier, but that's about it; their games are mediocre. They do have fantastic companions and core storylines (some of the alt paths are lackluster), so far better than BG3 I do agree, but we haven't seen much of the main storyline and I'll reserve my judgement for the characters until I play through but I find them all already far more boring than how I felt about WoTR's companions right when they're introduced.
