Maybe you just don't like proper rpgs anymore. Nothing to be ashamed about.

Baldurs Gate 3 will have some fancy features which will make balancing encounters a nightmare. The story will be cookie cutter fantasy drivel, writing will be mediocre with infantile humour.

Pathfinder 2 will be praised on codex for its gameplay which will be a simpler version of #1. Noone will care about the story or characters, just like in #1.

Avowed will have the same fate as Alpha Protocol. It will be released with an incredible amount of bugs and will fail to change Obsidian's direction to AAA action games development. Josh Sawyer will make sure that the setting is kept as boring as possible. Incidentallly, I like Sawyer's videos on Youtube, he makes some good points regarding RPG settings, so it is unfortunate and surprising that the Pillars setting is so bland and forgettable. My theory is that atheists cannot write a good story about gods, they just don't get how religion works.

Bloodlines 2 will be careful paint-by-numbers experience that will fail to capture any of the things that made the original so remarkable. There will be some SJW scandal related to this game, most probably some people will hate hamfisted LGBT/BLM agenda enough to cause shitstorm on twitter. You know the drill.


All of these games will be 80+ on Metacritic, and BG3 will be 95+.

I will finish BG3 for the name, will try and fail to complete Pathfinder, will like the first 2 hours of Avowed, and will skip Bloodlines because Paradox is dead to me.
