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

    also i kinda hate shadowheart and i feel like a lot of the plotline revolves around her and it bothers me

    I feel like I’m on a different planet sometimes when so much BG3 player chat involves how awesome that character is to them. what-the-hell

    Woljiff in WoTR is an excellent example of a cliche done right. He’s chaotic neutral, a thief, a pathological liar, but he owns it in a way that makes him a must-bring pretty much everywhere.

    Ember is an excellent example of stereotype breaking in a way that doesn’t feel contrived. She’s got few illusions, knows the world is fucked… but is so full of a painful level of love and compassion that it blows my mind.
