Owlcat Games knows not to expect Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader to be as successful as Baldur's Gate 3

Eh.

Nowhere near as good as the old Bioware and Black Isle CRPGs, and if it's going to call itself Baldur's Gate then I'm going to hold it to those standards like it or not. It's a fine game, but it's ridiculously and disproportionately overrated by both the media and players alike, especially when it looks, plays and feels nothing like the original games that it claims to be a sequel to.

There's almost no way you have played BG3 or you're just being contrarian. I love the old bioware and black isle and crpgs, BG3 absolutely stacks up to 1/2.

No, I've played it alright, just didn't finish it. If anything it's you who probably never played Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 or, in fact, none of the CRPGs of old, because if you did you'd likely agree with me instead of calling me a contrarian.
