I'm not really sure how much replay value I'd personally find in BG3 considering I found some sections to drag so hard and still kind of play out the same way that I don't know if I want to go through them, and where they differ tend to be in contained ways like "you move on to chase after more mind flayer stuff, but now the druids/goblins are dead instead of the goblins/druids."
In Wrath of the Righteous, once the mythic path really takes off, the story can become strikingly different between, say, an angel run, a devil run, a necromancer run, or a Swarm that Walks or a trickster for that matter.
Exactly! I guess you can do an evil run in BG3 if you're okay with losing parts of the game in return for some additional dialogue. The combat system of D&D 5e also doesn't really entice me to try another playthrough as a warlock or something, especially as you can just respec everyone whenever, and let's not even mention the romances. But the mythic paths in WotR really do make an impact on the game, especially mechanically, when it comes to your main character.
