I'm so happy to see this franchise do so well, I actually haven't played 3 yet and Bg1 and 2 are my most played games ever. I've played through them several times and love them more than any other game..I know BG3 is very different in terms of the playing, but it does seem like they captured the sense of a massive world with infinite paths to goals. Cannot wait to play it, just need to be done with Cyberpunk. I hope my wife understands!
Haha I've actually set up a steam link so I can play PC games in our living area so can be with her while I play which will help. She also does encourages me to game as it's a guilt free stress reliever.
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
