That wasn't what the award was for, though - it was "For outstanding online multiplayer gameplay and design, including co-op and massively multiplayer experiences"
BG3's multiplayer is a buggy broken mess, by most accounts, and it doesn't do anything new or innovative with its delivery or design that wasn't already done by its divinity predecessor.
Personally, of all the categories, the only one that I felt BG3 was worth a vote for was the one acknowledging the voice actors.
Edit: That aside, I've been playing a multi-player narratively driven RPG with voice acting and cutscenes for the past 16 years, and would not call Larian's multiplayer 'novel' or 'bold' in any real respect.
