I'm fucking pumped for both of them. I've been playing BG3 for two years and am hype as fuck to FINALLY play the rest of the god damn game. And Starfield? God I hope Bethesda give me some Oblivion/Skyrim/Fallout3/4 level goodness. Fallout 76 was something I'm glad I skipped.
I have been playing F76 to pass the time until BG3, and it's really not a bad game at all. It's kind of like Elderscrolls Online is to Skyrim what F76 is to Fallout 4.
The general writing and world building seem up to par when compared Fallout 4, but because it's online they make inventory management a bit of a pain to upsell you on the QoL subscription. (Exactly like ESO).
It's not worth jumping into now (with BG3, then Starfield) but if you ever find a down moment again I'd recommend it.
It got a lot of deserved criticism at first because it was a mess but I played at launch and still had a ton of fun despite the problems. Playing with someone probably helped but I always thought all the lore and stuff you could find was great and fit right into the series. I plan to go back eventually and play it in a more complete and less broken state lol
