Depends what you mean by measure up. Baldur’s Gate 3 is my first CRPG that I was able to stick with for more than an hour and I absolutely LOVE it, and that was before even trying co-op, which somehow made it even better. I’m hopelessly obsessed with it, to the point where I had all Sunday to myself while my wife napped off her hangover, and I opted to try to power through the rest of Final Fantasy 16, just hoping I could get to the end, so I can focus purely on BG3 with all of my gaming time. It would be nonsense to compare this game to Starfield (which I’m also very excited for) because they’re such vastly different types of RPGs. I think this game sets the generational benchmark for RPG quality, but I don’t think it’s even going to be the highest selling RPG of the year if that’s what benchmark we’re using. I think for now and the foreseeable future it’s certainly the benchmark for quality especially when it comes to your choices actually mattering.
I’m ready for the next Pathfinder game by owlcat. All I want is for them to go back and forth releasing games adapted from campaigns.
I honestly wouldnt mind just like a mega dungeon crawler with their engine made by a smaller team or something. I don’t even need all the same quality voice acting etc, kind of like a icewind dale to baldurs gate if you know what i mean.
Rogue trader for sure. Honestly, if anyone here hasnt played pathfinder wotr i highly recommend it. It’s definitely more advanced and complex than bg3 in terms of ruleset imo but it’s really good. Far better mechanically, better quality of life and ui as well by a longshot.
When I first started playing TTRPGs I played some Pathfinder. It’s such a good system. It’s better than Dnd 5E in my opinion. It’s hard to get people to play it though because 5E is so much more approachable. Pathfinder really let’s you go crazy with it and do whatever you want.
I haven’t played the CRPG though. I’ll have to give it a try. I heard about it years ago and then it just disappeared.
Pathfinder 2 is pretty good and much more accessible than Pathfinder 1 was, while still having a fair amount of depth to the system.
Played kingmaker, didn’t know about wotr… looks daunting
