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 loving bg3 but there’s some elements of it that bother me a bit. Like… I’ve been at it for 20+ hours and I don’t feel like I’ve really been able to enjoy existing in the world bc the stakes are so dire and I’m rushed from one thing to another.

    I rushed so hard, on purpose, on the first day of BG3 because I was aware of Larian’s usual shenanigans and that actually made some character moments glitch out. I didn’t long rest until the druids and the tiefling refugees were safe from the goblins and that caused some kind of story arc traffic jam where every rest after that had a confusing series of events. d20-ah-fuck
