In yesterday's posts, a few people complained about BG3's writing. Which games would you recommend for better story lines and characters? (reddthat.com)

Wrath of the Righteous. Hands down, the most interesting party member NPCs I've encountered in a CRPG.

Unique takes on stereotypes, and you find yourself invested in even the unlikable characters.

Daeran, Nenio, Regongar, and Jubilost are legitimately some of my favorite characters in the CRPG revival. Owlcat's Pathfinder games are fantastic.

I've been really put off by the pathfinder rules on this one. Maybe I should try again.

Yep, I get that. And the combat balancing in Owlcat games is something you either like or hate, so I wouldn't recommend the game itself for everyone. But whatever you think about the rule system or combat design, the characters are really well done!

Play on Normal difficulty and with something full BAB that gets an Animal Companion. Mounted Melee Demonslayer Ranger or Cavalier will make the game system much easier to understand for your first playthrough.

If you need help with a build or tactics feel free to message me. I actually really miss r/Pathfinder_Kingmaker and helping new players get into the game.

Thanks for the offer. I'm not really put off by the difficulty, but I feel it's impossible for me to make a build intuitively. In kingmaker I just failed miserably to it, and playing in easy was just a slog. I need to find some builds to blindly follow I imagine, and spend my money on equipment.
