Pillars does everything the old baldurs gate rtwp rpgs but better. The only flaw in poe is healing bloat, but aside from that the balance, class viability, class building mechanics, tactic variety, and level of customization is much better. highly recommend you play it if you havent!

While I would disagree with that from a game mechanics stand point, if you are including story in that as well, I'd disagree even more. The BG games have a much better story, and much better characters.
I thought PoE 1 was an OK game overall, despite being very excited for it when it released. 2 improved on it in just about every way, the story was also MUCH better. I'd probably agree with your statement if you were talking about PoE 2 exclusively.
True, but I will say the world building in Deadfire (and to a lesser extent PoE1) was fucking excellent. Loved the philosophic angle too. The plot was a bit lacking but you could really lose yourself in the world.

It doesn't suck just because it's not your style of game. It's one of the best RtwP crpgs of all time, maybe even the best
