I think BG3 is making a lot of normal quality games look really bad this year. Like putting a super model in a picture of normally okay people.

That said BG3's true innovation was literally just putting the work in. They didn't make anything truly new, they just did everything game developers have learned in the last 40 years to a very high standard.

The one thing I would argue that is a bit “new” is that they had a design paradigm similar to immersive sims on their systems, and that is not so common on these kind of top down rpg.

But yeah, the real “innovation” was just making an actually polished game.
