- After beating Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous, I wanted to take a beat to compare and contrast it against the award winning Baldur's Gate 3. From gameplay to story and cinematics, we're going to dive into both games and declare a favorite. #baldursgate3 #pathfinder #larianstudios #owlcatgames

Both are good games, BG3 gets it for presentation, but for tactical depth and build variety WotR can't be stopped.
I played all the way through BG3 one time, it was a lot of fun. I played through Wrath of the righteous three times and have about 15 or so partial play throughs and I just started another one and I continue to love it every time I play it and will continue playing it for a very long time, can you tell which game I prefer?
I'm sure you yourself probably already know because you said you played multiple times but for anyone watching the video that might be on the fence of which game to play, the combat in WotR can be switched to turn based mode if they want where you'll have the order of peoples turns at the top of the screen just like BG3.
Basically my opinion on which game someone should go for falls like this:
Pick WotR if:
You want seemingly endless customization options for your characters
If you tend to suffer from Too Good to Use Syndrome with your abilities (you tend to get a lot more charges for your spells and stuff than you would in BG)
You're either fine missing out on some things OR you're willing to use a guide to help you with a walk through (Owlcat likes putting puzzles with clues somewhere on the map but nothing to point you to why that would be the clue (ex. 6 rooms before the room you're currently in there are 4 paintings on one wall which colours will determine which switches you need to click in which order). This can make it feel even more rewarding when you figure out the puzzle but can also just lead to you not being able to figure it out because you don't know what's pointing you to the solution)
You want to play a Kitsune
Pick BG3 If:
You want a more cinematic experience (graphics are a lot better, more dialogue, ect)
You want to play WITH friends (WotR is only single player)
You want to make it feel like the story is evolving around your choices (you do get this in WotR too but I just feel the depth of the differences is far more in BG3)
You want to play a Druid* (WotR DLC kind of fixes this with the Shifter class it seems but base game Druid in WotR is pretty lackluster compared to the other classes xD)
Good feedback to add, thank you for sharing!
agree with what u said about handcrafted combat encounters, just started wotr after playing bg3 twice and bg3 does this so much better
Still need to give WotR a play through myself but my love for BG3 at this point, i worried might cloud my judgement. Fantastic video as always!
Considering that, it might be better to cleanse your palate with a smaller scale CRPG or go to a different type of experience altogether and try out their Rogue Trader game. I'm waiting for a couple more updates and a sale before jumping in on that one.
@@PrettyGuardianis this Pathfinder have more voice over than Rogue trader?? Rogue Trader have so many silent dialogue, thank you 🙏
@@MultiDarto Great question! I haven't played Rogue Trader yet so I can't compare. Baldur's Gate is pretty close (if not) 100% voice acted. Pathfinder WotR FELT about 50% voice acted (most of the main story beats were voice acted but most of the side content was not).
@@PrettyGuardian exactly after playing BG3, it kinda feel somewhat off, with the missings VO, thanks for the insight 🙏
Can't wait for your next video, "3 months old toddler vs Mike Tyson".
Jake Paul's already making that one.
Pathfinder content ? WE VIBE
Personally, I think both games could take cues from Pillars of Eternity and the original BG series when it comes to environmental design. Areas like Athkatla or Neketaka have the feeling of being real places. Owlcat's games have a distinctly gamey feeling to their environments and Larian has detailed environments, but they also feel a bit gamey. By gamey, in mean contrived for gameplay purposes, as opposed to feeling natural. Chapter 3 Drezen is a serious offender in this regard, being very obviously a hub area and not a real place.
Also, Larian environment suffer from being overly dense. Doing basically anything in BG3 feels like a slog. Perhaps most egregious is the container spam. As a compulsive completionist, this is extremely annoying.
Those are both great points.
