So the fact that you then proceeded to... do exactly that and list a handful of metrics by which one game exceeded the other, tells me that you did not engage with what was said, and did not read it with a discerning eye; you just wanted to look for something to argue about.
The difference is I'm trying to show you how foolish your list are. It's a sarcasm. Which you know and yet you think I'm serious, that I'm doing "exactly that".
What I was trying to do is to stop "abstract" assertion that "BG2 wuz better" by asking -specifically- what is it that make you think that, and ideally, admit that it's just rose-tinted biased opinion, which I believe it actually is.
Let's talk *specifically* which quest in BG2 vs specific quest in BG3, so that I can prove that Dex 10 and Dex 18 matters more in BG3 than BG2, because BG3 objectively better designed RPG Dialogue.
Let's talk *specifically* which dialogue lines in BG2 that you feel better vs specific dialogue in BG3 that prove Irenicus is better Villain than the entirety of BG3 villain gallery.
Let's talk *specifically* which aspect of Action combat RTS-esque of Infinity Engine games that feels more like DnD than literally DnD inspired "in your face" dice rolls in BG3.
Let's talk *specifically* why BG2 biowarean dialogue with astonishing amount of 2 Dialogue checks is better than BG3 Larian-whimsical writing with 100+ dialogue checks, somehow.
I respect that you want to move on to other topic.
