Recent RPGs titles are so shit that a better roleplaying experience can be had by playing grand strategy games.

Wait, I find this statement to be true. I have found myself several times roleplaying while playing even Europa Universalis 4, while I find almost impossible to immerse myself in my character while I play Pillars or Kingmaker.

Is there a problem with me, doc?

I prefer more a silent protagonist than a speaking one that is constantly saying dumb shit, making him/her unlikeable.

That's not really triggering most codexers seem to prefer the silent protag voiced npc approach to dialog in rpgs at least.

Divinity Original Sin 2 is pure garbage apart from its half decent combat system. There's a reason such a "beloved" game has such a minuscule completion rate.

Playing the role of another character in a fantasy world, having stats or an inventory system, are not what makes a game an RPG and lots of people here don't understand what an RPG is - if a game has removed real player agency to focus the player on exploration (adventure) and combat (action) by utilizing quest markers and quest directives (Witcher 3, Skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout 3), it's by-definition an Action-Adventure and not an RPG. The 'role-play' in RPG refers to unique player input playing an essential role in shaping the game narrative, and not to the player pretending they're another character (which would mean that Duke 3D and most games are RPGs).

Too much bait to be actually believable and trigger someone

I hope this statement is also meant to trigger. In case it wasn't: BG2 and especially BG1 are average or "ok" games. That's true but also is triggering some people. Ergo the original poster made an excellent job.
Thinking that someone would consider saying that BG1 and BG2 are not memorable - "too much bait" is proof that there is something wrong with this country forum.
The above was not meant to trigger.

BG3 will be the best Baldur's Gate game because it will be closer to the original system it's based on - aka turn-based. Instead of being the rtwp abominations in a D&D game.
That was meant to trigger.
