Baldur's Gate 3 will be GOTY for the hardcore old-school CRPG fans that have been waiting for this game for what will have been 23 years. But it's part of a very niche genre, always has been. It's catering to a very specific crowd. Starfield, while having claims of being a hardcore RPG by Bethesda, is designed for the masses.

Well, you said it in your second part, but I don't think BG3 will be GOY for those reason. I mean; I played the content available in the early access in its enirety and the issue with those games is that they are based on D&D (I'm play D&D tabletop everyweek, I like it but this is just not good in a videogames) :) Which can make the game very ackward to play for people that are not too much into that thing. The dice check, can be very frustrating too some time etc.. Limiting a videogames with whatever D&D rules has is not a good thing imo. BG1/2 were amazing because other RPGs were not offering much but now videogames RPGs like Starfield are providing WAY more things/options/capabilities.

For instance, I still believe (and that's my personal opinion :)) that Divinity Sins 2 is way more fun to play than BG3 (even if BG3 is based on a newest engine).

While Starfield will be like Skyrim/Fallout; I really believe it has way more chances to be GOY. :)

What do u think?

Edit: speaking of old school RPG, just installed Windows 3.11 in a VM to play this baby..
Let's Play... Mordor: The Depths of Dejenol Ep. 108 - YouTube :D (don't judge me :))

Oh for sure! I was referring to the fans of D&D and Baldur's Gate 1&2. Those fans have been waiting for Baldur's Gate 3 for what will have been 23 years by the time it releases, so for those fans, no game can touch BG3 lol. But, that is a very targeted crowd. I've tried getting into D&D before and......it is a LOT!!! It was too much for me lol especially since I didn't have a proper DM, and it was just a group of us trying to figure out how the hell to play the game which just adds more to the nicheness of BG3 and how it's not an actual threat to Starfield in terms of popularity and sales. 

I can see BG3 getting a nomination for GOTY, but not something that may actually win. But the fans that have waited decades for the game, it's gonna be their GOTY no matter what! 

Duuuuuuuude, that's super sick! Should get some Dune II action on that VM!
