Baldur's Gate 3 has blown away expectations and redefined what an RPG can be, and that may put Bethesda's upcoming Starfield in a rough spot.

Baldur's Gate 3 and Starfield are completely different experiences though. The fact that they're even in the same genre serves more to highlight just how broad "RPG" really is, rather than suggest BG3 has somehow made Starfield's impending launch more difficult.

I don’t think it matters if they’re different experiences.

What matters is that the game achieves what is set out to do and if that is an enjoyable and unique experience. Another thing that matters is if they can make a AAA game without scummy monetization.

I would argue that they succeeded.
