nah best RPG for the past 20 years imo is Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous, even with all its bugs. they just have so many branching story points and well written characters.
I played through Wrath of the Righteous and I did enjoy it but so far Baldurs Gate 3 blows it out of the water for me. The only aspect that I prefered in WotR was the fact that you could have very different story experiences in it due to the mythic paths (from angel to demon and lich etc) I also didnt really like the combat in Wrath of the Righteous or Kingmaker. With that said I am looking forward to the 40k Rogue Trader game owlcat is working on.
Both games are fantastic, but I think Baldur's Gate 3 does the non-combat stuff better, which is something the classic CRPGs never really nailed down (Planescape Torment being the closest, although it was still a little clunky).
I will say, one thing the Pathfinder games did great was showing you the entirety of a class when you're in the character creator, so you don't have to guess at what you might unlock by leveling up the class. It's kind of annoying that BG3 doesn't show you what your class will unlock later in the game, so you're sort of blind if you don't somehow already know.
