Not really sure of the definition of a crpg, but so far (haven’t finished BG3 yet) BG3 is tied with the Mass Effect trilogy as my favorite game of all time! No game is perfect, but these are both exceptional games to me!

BG3 has a huge scope with lots of dialogue choices, reactivity, spells, and class and race choices.

Mass Effect trilogy has amazing companions, an iconic voiced pc, and a pc and companions that span 3 games.

I think both games do a great job with pacing and quests so that playing the game is never boring for me! The cinematic dialogue for both really pulls me into the game’s world.

For BG3 the companions are well written, but I do wish the good companions had been able to join the party earlier in the game considering the evil ones can.
