I’m not throwing shade at BG3; I’ve also enjoyed it, but something about the sheer amount of options and more widely diverging story paths in Wrath just does it more for me. I also like the art style more, but that’s strictly subjective and I accept that.
To a lesser and more personal extent, I despise Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro and their recurring attempts to monopolize and bully third party game developers and players alike and I don’t like to even indirectly trickle money their way compared to Paizo. Yes yes, no ethical consumption and all that, but Paizo’s way less fucked up with both distributing game materials and open licensing agreements.

That’s all I had to say. If you’ve already finished BG3 or it wasn’t quite to your liking and you’d like an alternative, give Wrath a try. 
wrath is very good imo. i find it hard to like many of the companions of bg3, the only ones that really pulled on me were astarion and minthara. i liked karlachs design but i feel like she didnt get many lines. and the rest were largely forgettable. the graphics and the mocapped conversations are what really makes bg3 good. if it was a top down isometric like WOTR i think everyone would call the game middling. its more just impressive how much they show and not tell with a blurb of text. also i kinda hate shadowheart and i feel like a lot of the plotline revolves around her and it bothers me.
i havent played wrath in a hot minute but i can tell you right now that i remember all the companions names, even the more barebones ones like sosiel (black guy that is angry trope?). arue, wenduag, woljiff, ember, and nenio are probably some of my favorite characters in any video game ever. daeran is pretty fun too.
wenduag is best girl, her romance/redemption plotline is fairly realistic imo. the lesbian relationship there really pulled at my heartstrings a bit
also im the resident pf2e stan here, its pretty much all i talk about.
That’s interesting bc in my play through she interjects more than any other party member. Every time something happens she voices an opinion on it. To the point that, as much as she’s pretty much my favorite, I kinda wish some of the other people would chime in lol
This is just a theory, but does it have anything to do with the order the party is in on the hud? It may be random or based on relationship though.
yeah i’m not too sure, plausible bc ive done a few of her quests, but shadowheart and gale and i also have pretty high relationship and they dont talk too much so i’m not too sure
