If Dark Souls is a good game, it is in spite of being a soulslike.
I would argue it isn't a "soulslike" to begin with

The typical rollslop gameplay that defines the subgenre wasn't really a thing until Bloodborne/Dark Souls 3 (and to a lesser extent Dark Souls 2).

My controversial opinion on this topic: Nioh is better than Dark Souls.

wikis should NOT include fan-created addons/mods by default.

I'm looking at you, Heroes of Might & Magic 3 wiki.

Pillars of Eternity series > Baldur's Gate series.
For the purposes of this calculation are we considering the BG series to have 5 games (BG1,ToTSC,BG2,ToB,BG3), 4 games, or 3 games? Because the awfulness of ToB and BG3 drag down the score a different amount depending on how we do it.

If you count BG3 as part of the series then you have to include Siege of Dragonspear as well.

The only BG game worth playing is Baldur's Gate 1.
While PoE only got stronger and better with each new release.

This is the way. Nothing triggers more than the truth.

Though we only had one PoE, the new one isn't even in early access yet.
I choose to believe he means Pillars of Eternity and "each new release" just referred to the sequel, the ability of Soyer to trigger the Codex is next to none

Path of Eternity of the Damned, a perfect mix of real-time with popamole where everything is balanced around a giant clusterfuck of a skill tree by which your barbarian can hope to become so smart that he will be able to one-shot the hordes of enemies faster than they will one-shot him from off-screen, while all this bullshit will still give you no experience because fuck you.

Why do I have to confirm my account here regularily when nobody cares whatever is posted or what nutcases are around?
https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads/public-service-announcement-2fa-now-mandatory-you-dont-need-a-phone-number-ffs.147303/

tl;dr abandoned accounts can be accessed by a malefactor finding the same username and matching password on lists from other sites that have been hacked; the malefactor then mass deletes Codex posts, which causes the forum software to have conniptions.
