I adore WOTR and agree its overall the better game. I even think that relatively speaking, it has better graphics. As in, it has better graphics compared to other things of its level than BG3 does compared to other things at its level. I understand how the Alushinyrra chapter could get annoying because of the camera mehanic, but I actually really like it. Not only does the mechanic do a job of replicating the shifting chaos of the setting, but I enjoy the storytelling of the area as a whole. You're dropped into an area where you're kind of out of your depth, and it leans more on social interaction in a way that its hard for crpgs to do. It's far from perfect, but the narrative shifts to making alliances, navigating social interactions and testing just how willing you are to bend to the way the city does things versus how much you're going to stand by your own principles.
I think the thing that holds that happen back is a point I actually first heard brought up in relation to FF16 and its side quests; the game is limited in the ways you can interact with the world, its mainly text boxes and rolls in those text boxes, or combat, so social stuff is a bit limited. But it does valiantly with what it's got available.
