Weight carried should be individual. If your character has low strength and can't carry a lot I have no sympathy. Choices and consequences. However, games could give options just like pnp. Horses, wagons, and cart. Tenser's Floating Disc, and bags of holding.

As for main topic. It's a toss up. Both have strengths and weaknesses. The Pathfinder games are more true to dnd, but bg3 has great production spending and values abd it shows it. Plus, surprisingly to myself, I actually like the bg3 companions more than I thought I would.

If bg3 can hold up in the last two chapters, it might pull ahead...
