Best I can do is my recent comparison between Baldur's Gate 3 and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous.
wrath of the righteous is really good. it's a shame i have to use character guides for it because i Do Not know how to play pathfinder.
Pathfinder took all the convoluted perilous excessive options and choices of 3.5 D&D and then added a lot more.
yes, but that excess allowed some truly outrageous character builds that 5e just can't hold a candle to. I'm especially proud of a damphir necromancer that ran around with the armored corpses of dire lions that soloed most of the fights the DM tried to throw at us. think he really regretted throwing those at us early on only for the cleric to go "wait, hold my beer"
i want to try it out but that means either running it myself or making someone else do it and i don't know anyone else
I'd be tempted to invite you if my group wasn't full to the point of having a waiting list.
nahhh i got my own tabletop issues to figure out (some folks want me to run odyssey of the dragonlords and i am Not Sure how that will go) and my old DM has been chatting me up about baldur's gate 3 and them having a lot of "ideas" (tho idk if i want to play with them again). i appreciate the thought though ulysses maybe sometime in the future.
edit: ik i wasn't being invited but i wanted to respond to the thought of being included
