I'm only near the start of Act 3, and so far I'm enjoying the BG3 plot more than WotR, though I confess that's probably more to do with the fact that I personally don't really rate WotR's story than that BG3's is blowing me away. And, to be fair, there are many good cRPGs - in my view BG2 included, much as I love it - with pretty weak main plots so it's not a dealbreaker for me in any case.
So far, I am ...
... really invested in the Dead Three stuff, the link to the hells, the connection to Karsus's Folly and the Shar angle, but like others I can take or leave illithids. Intellectually I can see that they could be interesting and obviously The Dead Three need something powerful to back up their plot, but there's something about their lore that I find just silly (brains on legs!!! massive flying brains!!!). Still, I've had a number of years to reconcile myself to the fact the plot is going to be mindflayer-heavy and so far the good is outweighing the bad.
I'll wait until I've actually finished the game before making any final judgements, though.
