I've been a big fan of this genre since Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and BG3 executes the hallmarks of the genre (memorable companions, good dialogue, and interesting story choices) excellently.

The game is not without its faults. My biggest gripe is that it is very easy to sequence break quests and the game doesn't always provide good context for those breaks, which feels antithetical to the way the game encourages you to explore everything at your own direction.

That said, the game is so sprawling that it's difficult to hold this fault against the game too hard. It's still an incredible experience that will hopefully induct a new audience into the genre.
