It isnt about "the bear", per se.
It would be unfortunate if WotC decided to go too "family friendly" with whatever they do for a follow up, but I think it would be even worse if they learned the wrong less and went over the top with the NSFW stuff without having any of larian's heart or humor. Way too often, C suite folks read success entirely wrong and focus on singular elements and end up ruining sequels and follow ups.
As a former BG3 obsessed addict, I've been hugely impressed by Owlcat games' take on Rogue Trader. So much that I want to give their Pathfinder games a fair shake (and I don't even like Pathfinder).
"We are making a video game. BG3 is a video game. Ours will be a game like that game. Serious and published. With computer programming. And graphics."
I have played them both and greatly enjoyed them. With that said, Kingmaker requires a mod to do turnbased mode, which is what you want to be true to the original game. It is also a bit rough around the edges. Both frequently go on sale, but I recommend Wrath of the Righteous as it's more "advanced" in terms of presentation and polish. But I did finish Kingmaker and really enjoyed it. Wrath has been something I just haven't had time to get through yet.
