I have played WotR 3 times already, BG3 I perhaps overplayed - started a second run through then abandoned it when I reached baldur's gate. I feel I have seen everything noteworthy (I did all companions quests, al major side quests etc) and the things I didn't like still annoy me, and push me away from replaying it. I enjoyed BG3 - a lot - but it didn't 'stay with me' in the way the WotR did (although I must admit to not liking crusade management....in the same way I disliked kingdom management).
Anyway, in WotR, I loved diverse the mythic paths, setting and the properly implemented mechanics of PF1. 5e is so simple by comparison and Larian couldn't get that right - which definitely impacted my enjoyment. BG3 is a visually more pleasing game, but I didn't find the story convincing - it was like they tried to shoehorn everything in to make it 'cool'. As various people have pointed out, the plot was riddled with inconsistencies, the tadpole proved no bother at all really and the final chapter felt incomplete and rushed compared to earlier parts of the game. I think a lot of people were won over by the companions and their stories (which I enjoyed) and the 'pretty visuals and cinematics. The latter don't matter to me - I would happily trade them for better game systems and tactical depth, or a more convincing story.
