"different characters get wildly different stories"
Lol? Every RPG with a at least basic evil path does that better than BG3. WotR has its mythic paths, some which have a bigger impact on the story,
Because that's not what TC has said.
I particularly love character customisation in Baldur's Gate. You can make widly different characters, that behave widly different in the game, and again, there is a lot of choices and many reactivity to those choices
All of this is true. Especially systemic interactivity it beyond anything that we have seen in an RPG before.
As Tim stated at the beginning of the video, those are not necessarily his favourate RPGs (he made that lists, containing older titles that were dear to him), but ones worth paying attention, and learning from. Each of the titles excel in different aspects. I wish he would talk more about BG3 and what he liked about it. As a programmer and designer, he might have spotted and appreciated things that I underappreciated in my playthroughs.
