Is pathfinder wrath of the righteous any good? I want to marry the succubus.

@handsomewinner hmm I see. I guess I'm marrying a chaotic good succubus then

I didn't finish it (got busy with work and dropped it), but I enjoyed what I played. I got a little bit past where you recruit the succubus and it was still going fairly strong.
For an easy point of reference, I'll compare it to Baldur's Gay 3.
Compared to Baldur's Gay 3, PF: WotR's main scenario felt a lot more like a grand adventure. The scenario felt more like a world-ending event than BG3's scenario did. It felt like I was less constrained in the direction the story could go too, but as I never played multiple characters, that may have only been an illusion.
BG3 always had a feeling of a quirky, GAY adventure that reminded me how GAY it was every time it got the chance to by shoving GAY shit into my face, even when it was supposed to be dark and serious.
PF: WotR I'm sure still has that kind of stuff, but it refrained from repeatedly smacking me in the face with it every hour or so, and so it actually kept a sense of tension longer.
If you want something light-hearted, BG3 is by far the funnier game. PF: WotR doesn't really attempt humor much, as far as I can recall.
Only one of the companions was particularly annoying in PF: WotR (contrasted with BG3, where I found a few of them to be annoying). That being said, only a few stand out as memorable. I will probably remember BG3's characters (for good and ill) better in the future than I do PF: WotR's.
There's way more options to customize your build with in PF: WotR, but it is also a more complex system than the pseudo-5e that BG3 has. That can be a positive or a negative, depending on your preferences. I saw it as a positive.
BG3 has higher production quality in the realm of audio and visuals than PF: WotR from what I recall, but that's a bit muddy since it has been a while.
If you just want a quirky GAY adventure with some comedy and adequate customization, Baldur's Gay 3 is better. If you want a more tense adventure with the ability to make retarded builds where you exclusively pelt people with snow and trap them in blocks of ice, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is better. So I'd say PF: WotR is pretty good, at least up until where I played (shortly after you recruit the succubus).
I don't have much else to say about it right now unfortunately. I'll likely resume my play through sometime in the near future, as I've been meaning to for a while now.
