i like the pathfinder ones because they don't make my pc sound like a jet taking off

I just want my THAC0 back.

I have so many mean things to say about BG3, but instead I'll be positive and say that in my opinion, Pathfinder: WotR combines all the best parts of the old Baldur's Gate games (well-told, if a bit generic, story; fantastical setting that doesn't go too far overboard; interesting and sympathetic companions) with a ruleset that offers many options for character building and highly adjustable difficulty settings. There's a crusade minigame which is a real drag, but that's the only real bad thing about the whole game. Also, the different paths -- the big ones at least -- make enough of a difference that there's some replayability. It doesn't reach the narrative heights of Torment or Mask of the Betrayer, but neither does BG3 (not even remotely).

I've played both, and one thing I quite like about Baldur's Gate is how there are fewer combat encounters but they feel more impactful. WoTR throws a lot of chaff at you, which can get pretty tedious at times.

All in all though, WoTR is a much more conceptually ambitious game, even if it's rougher around the edges in places, it does swing for the fences much more. Also the inventory management in BG3 is dogshit in comparison
