Breaking News: RPG does what all RPGs do but we will compare it to only what one well know RPG does instead of simply saying it’s an RPG that does RPG things.
They could have said any other recent RPG game and it would have applied. Using Baldurs Gate 3 is probably just because Avowed is in the Pillars of Eternity world which was another isometric game, but still it’s just an RPG. It could just be channeling Pillars of Eternity instead of Baldurs Gate 3. Why do we have to use Baldurs Gate 3 for every comparison out there?

BG3 is a great example simply because there is so much content you can miss. I’ve put 1300+ hours into it and I still see things I haven’t seen in any prior playthrough. Granted they aren’t large story things or quests anymore but still, even the little stuff adds up.
So, like skyrim, or oblivion, or pillars of eternity 1 and 2… BG3 is used because it’s famous.
I’ve played those and BG3 has much more content. Especially missable content that depends on the choices you make.
Man you sound really bitter over nothing
Because people like the game and like reading about it.
So what you’re saying is that it’s a valid comparison?
There’s at least an order of magnitude difference between how many people have played one versus the other.
Of all the callow villainry, I wish a comparison to Baldur’s Gate 3 was the worst I’ve heard. I have seen such articles talk about Avowed in terms of Skyrim, which was released closer to Banjo Kazooie than Avowed. No irrelevant remark is beyond them, no matter how patently inane.
The core of. ©RPGs that makes them special is the feeling that you decide what’s going to happen or at least that your choices have an effect on the world. That’s the core appeal of TTRPGs and it doesn’t change for video games.
