I haven't played Starfield. But I have been amazed at the depth of Baldur's Gate 3. You can see the handcrafted world every where you look. And this makes a world you enjoy spending time in.
I'm enjoying Starfield far more than I expected.
That said the NPC interactions are incredibly sterile in comparison to the full mo-capped acting of the BG3 NPCs. The Starfield NPCs feel like mannequins just spitting out their lines.
I mean, BG3 is an incredibly well-crafted and focused RPG, but you cannot in good faith compare it to a game with orders of magnitude more NPCs and voice lines, they're simply not comparable.
Quality, not quantity.
I cant speak to the qualiry of starfield, but i do t think the teo games should be compared.
Bg3 is extremely story driven and incredibly immersive with detailed and intricate combatz catering to many different playstyles in an almost sandbox format.
Starfield is a vast exploration and semi combat focused rpg. Relying more on managment of inventory, crafting and development of kit.
Personally its not my style, skyrim was great but i always got bored way before completing it so i dont think im gonna enjoy starfield.
Tbf, Bethesda is a big team owned by Microsoft, a company with DEEP pockets.
