    It's probably the best adaptation of a fantasy ttrpg on the computer to-date, just like the original games were in their day.

    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is also fantastic, if you haven't already played that one.

      Wotr is tons of fun but it’s way way more classic crpg with lots of reading. Bg3 is a breakout because it feels like you are interacting with a living, breathing world, not a choose your own adventure with pixel art.

      And pathfinder is a way way way harder system to get into than 5e

        I would argue Divinity: Original Sin II was the breakout, although that's kind of hair-splitting because it's also Larian studios.

          Yes but bg3 is a four quadrant smash. Like, I know people who don’t play video games that are curious about it. DOSII didn’t do that.
