It has it's flaws, some by way of Owlcat and some by way of Pathfinder, but overall it's a great crpg with issues that get bigger the harder you set your difficulty (like prebuffing not having an automated option, get bubble buffs mod if you don't mind lol modding)
It has some woke stuff but it's overall really well done, as in owlcat grabbed what was woke about the pathfinder scenario and make it insert as well as can be expected (as an example there is a character that is trans but it is handled well in the story...as in you can easily miss it as it isn't advertised to the heavens and the character is changed from trans to sex change, which with magic is far more reasonable imo)
The overall story is nicely done with various differences according to the mythic you pick and it's nice to have a game that let's you get to 20 and even have more power on top of that. (Looks at BG3 max level 12....)
Systems are complicated if you want to play on harder difficulty and fill up spreadsheets, or know that down and go wild with whatever you want to build (seriously this game's difficulty doesn't pull punches)
Actual interesting companions that don't try to sex you at every turn...except for 1 but he has an excuse (though seelah and sosiel are a bit worse than the other, at least for me they don't mesure up to glorious Regill)
Over all great game and even has a roguelite dlc if you are inclined to just make builds. Rogue Trader is also shaping up nicely so yay Owlcat, please don't fall to woke.
PS: most romancable females are cannibals.....thought I should mention that
Most if not all the woke stuff comes from the pathfinder campaign that WoTR is based on they just layered it with a whole lot of story and context to blend it into the environment.
From what I heard the tranny/sex change character in the official campaign is more along the lines of traditional woke "HEY LOOK TRANNY!!!" and the fact they made her an actual character and that part of her life is easily missed, late into the game and still requires a dice check just to pry that out of her is an amazing way to deal with woke stuff and makes it feel a lot more natural.
It's not advertised, it came at the characters personal expenses and was through the use of magic. Some woke people might object but it's not like they can get that far in a crpg
