Pathfinder WotR is arguably better than BG3 or at least equal. If we count older games as well (since KotOR was mentioned) then BG2 and PS:T are both way above anything here as well.
the problem i have with Baldurs 3 (and i agree its a good game, at an amazing pro-gamer price), is the story and characters. they are all so immature, as if written by a teen fan fiction writer. and the pacing of the story is a complete mess. they hadn't figured out out to make the plot and character moments play out correctly. as a result it has zero gravitas or the believability that kotor 2 has. i could never put it even in the top 5, because the writing and implementation of the story is such a failure. the world also feels like a cosplay world instead of a realistic fantasy world. Vampire: bloodlines deserves a mention. some excellent writing, plotting and voice acting.
@@pryca4047 It's definitely on my radar. I'm currently waiting for a sale, but I've been going through my RPG backlog recently, and can't wait to add planescape to it!
