I’m not throwing shade at BG3; I’ve also enjoyed it, but something about the sheer amount of options and more widely diverging story paths in Wrath just does it more for me. I also like the art style more, but that’s strictly subjective and I accept that.

To a lesser and more personal extent, I despise Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro and their recurring attempts to monopolize and bully third party game developers and players alike and I don’t like to even indirectly trickle money their way compared to Paizo. Yes yes, no ethical consumption and all that, but Paizo’s way less fucked up with both distributing game materials and open licensing agreements.

That’s all I had to say. If you’ve already finished BG3 or it wasn’t quite to your liking and you’d like an alternative, give Wrath a try. only-good-gamer

    I’m enjoying the BG3 graphics and interface as much as anything. WotR and Kingmaker are perfectly fine, but the dated isometric perspective and walls of text storytelling is a lot. Also, my completion-ist instincts really war with any kind of 100-hour game.

    But they’re all good games. I don’t know how I’m going to get through this stuff and still have any time to look at Armored Core 6 or Zelda: TotK. An embarrassment of riches after something of a quality-drought.

    I remember people claiming that Elden Ring was going to be the Last Great Video Game. These releases are suggesting otherwise.
