For the BG3 haters here. A honest question. Does anyone consider BG3 worse than Pillows of 4e 1/2?
BG3 is better than Pillows 1, pretty much anything is, but Pillows 2 actually fixed many of 1's problems. Story, companions etc. suck dick in all 3 games, but Pillows went from the worst itemization ever (even worse than BG3) in 1, to one of the better ones in 2, and addition of multiclassing and turn based also helped combat a lot and made building your party decently fun. Exploration is also ok in 2.
For me:
Story/companions: All suck dick. Pillows 1 get a point for Durance, but that's it.
Atmosphere: BG3 has few cool locations like Ethel's lair + act 2 is decent -> Pillows 2 some side locations are ok -> Pillows 1 all is literal garbage
Character building: Pillows 2 -> BG3 -> Pillows 1
Itemization: Pillows 2 -> BG3 -> Pillows 1
Exploration: Pillows 2 -> BG3 -> Pillows 1 (it's tied to itemization, and character building, in BG3 exploring is super gay since leveling up doesnt feel that cool, and itemization is garbage so there is 0 excitement for finding new things and no motivation to explore)
Combat: Pillows 2 (TB + half HP mod) -> BG3 -> Pillows 2 vanilla RTwP -> Pillows 1
So I'd say overall for me Pillows 2 is better than BG3, tho both are bad compared to actual good games in the genre.
