Let�s just wait for their latest bugfest that is coming in december and compare to BG3 on release
At least when you compare their last game to BG3 it has superior story, writing, companions, ect.
Which is imo much more important for RPGs than animations and bear sex.
Couldn't agree more on the animations and bear sex part.
But I hard disagree that owlcat games have superior story and writing. Their writing is graphomania bordering graphorrhea. The story - part of it is Pathfinder canon lore, and it's good, but what owlcats slapped on it - cringe. I was face palming all they way through - I did like Daeran and Regill tho.
Pillars of Eternity is an example of better writing and story than BG3, not owlcat's flops.
I quite liked the additional Lantern King content in Kingmaker.
No idea what Owlcat added to WotR. Yes, Blackwater but that was to my knowledge added by a kickstarter backer, so Owlcat had no real choice than to follow through with whatever stupid idea he came up with. Same with the cringe pirate in Kingmaker.
And while there are some low points in the Pathfinder games like the gold dragon mythic, even the low points are imo compareable with average BG3 content while Owlcats high points are much higher.
Its enough that the Pathfinder games do not flip flop on the main plot like BG3 does with how removing the tadpoles go from the central theme to no issue. Or that Owlcat games do not shoot themself into the foot by pretending there is time pressure but make you miss story events by not resting.
Same with companions I doubt any BG3 companion will become as iconic as the Pathfinder ones, including Astarion whos claim to fame is 90% thirst and nothing else.
Regil or Daeran are far more interesting than anything Larian made and even characters like Harrim or Camilla are easily equal to Astarion or Shadowheart.
