Hmmm no.
BG2 has a cliché, linear, cheesy story.
But PoE2 has a cliché, linear, cheesy and utterly absurd story which is barely delivered.
the food here is terrible, and such small portions

The fuck are you talking about fantadomat? I have been criticising the game from the start since we ever got any tangible information about it, excuse me though just because dumpsterfire has made a lot of mistakes or obsidian has gone down in quality over the years I won't giving BG1/2 any awards. BG series has nothing great about it except proving that quantity is a quality of its own, which is a good lesson.
Plus, RTwP is derivative garbage.
Come to think of it, I don't remember it from the 4 CDs version either I recently watched my wife slice her way through beholders though.The shield wasn't part of the original game, it came with the Collector's Edition.

Hahaha can't a guy have a little bit of trolling once in while?

There is much more, to be honest the game's state at the time being is early beta at best. Nevertheless, it has much more potential than PoE had, even if they cannot fix the shitty parts like writing or VO, they did manage to improve the mechanics, which, with proper adjusting (®) may lead to the efficient system (well, it will still be RTwP, but they actually may achieve an entertaining RTwP). And hey, they definitively did well with exploration, aesthetics, overall atmosphere and performance (i.e. loading time) this time.Another lul thing right now in POE2: summons are extended by Int. Hello, 50 sec Shades who summon Shadows either on kill or just so...
Those things have Veil so all non rifle damage gets -50% to it and they clear encounters all alone.
Your opinion is so far away from my own that debating it seems like a waste of time. If you don't think Baldurs Gate II's story is absurd (especially Throne of Bhaal), then I doubt anything I say would convince you otherwise.
I never said Deadfire has good writing, but it does have great worldbuilding. I find Neketaka and the Deadfire Archipelago more compelling and believable than Athkatla and the Forgotten Realms.
Besides performance, I agree with that.Nevertheless, it has much more potential than PoE had, even if they cannot fix the shitty parts like writing or VO, they did manage to improve the mechanics, which, with proper adjusting (®) may lead to the efficient system (well, it will still be RTwP, but they actually may achieve an entertaining RTwP).

even without the shield you have the cloak of reflection (or whatever it's even called) that murders beholders just as well
Is the Obsidian forum slowly turning into a BioWare 2.0? Looking at their story board to get more clarity in the ending, and half of the topics it seems are about companions and romances.

there's at least this one.
didn't give me many new insights though. btw i don't agree with your opinion that the god thing is something that they "brushed aside", it was actually so important that the writers didn't even think about giving the player any opportunity to change that outcome. compared to that, the competing factions element is pretty negligible. the plot is pretty much an atheist's wet dream, where man even get control over natural law and order (more so than people already have with magic stuff in other fantasy environments). i must say some ideas in the pillars games are quite interesting, i just felt they didn't execute them very well.
Both Deadfire and Baldurs Gate II have weak stories. It's you that is trying to argue BG2's story isn't equally absurd.
You can't disregard Throne of Bhaal either.

BG2 - nigga stole your soul; you get nightmares, lose your speshul bhaalspawn abilities and suddenly can change into a bloodthirsty zerking daemon
