I'm not throwing shade at BG3; I've also enjoyed it, but something about the sheer amount of options and more widely diverging story paths in Wrath just does it more for me. I also like the art style more, but that's strictly subjective and I accept that.

To a lesser and more personal extent, I despise Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro and their recurring attempts to monopolize and bully third party game developers and players alike and I don't like to even indirectly trickle money their way compared to Paizo. Yes yes, no ethical consumption and all that, but Paizo's way less fucked up with both distributing game materials and open licensing agreements.

That's all I had to say. If you've already finished BG3 or it wasn't quite to your liking and you'd like an alternative, give Wrath a try. only-good-gamer

i'm guessing it actually works now?

My current playthrough kept it on just to experience it, but I personally think that may have been a mistake because I find the crusade's day to day operation an annoying distraction.

I really like the Pathfinder games and I think they tried something different and interesting with the crusade/kingdom systems but at the same time I feel these systems mostly dont improve the game by much. Which is a shame because im sure the devs spend a lot of time on these systems in otherwise amazing games.
