It's going to be hard to top BG3 for quite some time.

We all know what's the best RPG and GOTY.

Best Game Pass game? Star Field

I can't imagine Starfield topping the depth and quality of BG3. But there's a certain charm and magic that has given past Bethesda games a unique kind of immersion. I hope it lives up to that, it'll certainly do great. Might beat BG3 sales wise but I don't think so in terms of critical reception.
I love Final Fantasy XVI, but I think it's too hit-and-miss to be in the running. I also wouldn't put in the RPG category with BG3 an Starfield. Probably also wouldn't use Diablo 4 in this comparison, but if I'm to indulge OP I think that Diablo 4 is also too flawed to be in the running. Could have best sales though, being a lot more mainstream.

you dont have to vote for it but at least put Xenoblade 3 Future Redeemed on the poll

All these games are so different. I'm hyped the most for Starfield (not that I'm trying to hide it) but that's mostly because of the theme of the game. I'm more interested in space than fantasy.
I can tell you that only 2 games from that list will still be talked about in 5, 10 years. BG3 and Starfield.

I feel BG3 will definitely have a huge chance for Best RPG this year. I'm still unsure if it'll be GoTY, but I can see it among top contenders
I do wonder if we will have a similar situation like in 2015 where Witcher 3 completely outclassed Fallout 4, and if history will repeat with BGIII and Starfield

I’ll let you know in 2-3 weeks.

Damn was too fast....I thought this was about Sales.
Of which I think Diablo 4 will take it.
Baldurs Gate 3 is unlikely to be topped anytime soon though.
If you haven’t played BG3 yet then you won’t understand, but it is unbelievably dense with role playing goodness. Like every ten yards there’s something to discover that is unique and interesting.
I hope Starfield is awesome, but we all know it’s gonna be a whole bunch of procedurally generated filler with real content here and there. BG3 is like playing Dungeons and Dragons with an awesome DM who never runs out of fun ideas.

So does the D&D sex game have Bioware quality writing or actual good writing on par with Planescape Torment or old Obsidian?

I'm willing to bet we wont be able to find even a single person on this entire website that legitimately played all 5 of those games in the poll. And it's not like those are the only 5 RPGs this year.
I think everyone should prepare themselves for "favorite RPG of 2023." We'll get more objective answers in like 2 years when everyone catches up.
Wasn't Xenoblade 3 out last year?

It was last year, but they did put out an expansion for it.
As for the topic at hand, by default I'd have to go with ff since I haven't played the rest yet.

Xenoblade 3 was 2022
Glad TOTK was not an option as it is not an RPG by any means. Action/adventure at best

Expansions don't count. Most games have some sort of expansion and they aren't eligible for GOTY. Maybe a 'best DLC' category though.
I know a guy who puts the same word after a word and everyone seems to love that dude.

A lot of games have rpg elements today, madden because of the coaching is an “RPG”.

For me I’m hoping Starfield.
FF XVI was a huge disappointment for me.
Diablo 4 is just so-so
Xenoblade 3 came out last year. Only the expansion came out this year, it was pretty good but nowhere year GotY level
Baldur’s Gate 3 is a really amazing game but I just don’t have that kind of patience and bandwidth required for it right now.

Of those choices really only BG3 is a true RPG
Diablo 4: Action 'RPG'
FF: Action/ Adventure
Xenoblade 3: 2022 game 2023 DLC
Starfield: Likely a more Action RPG like Fallout 4 (which isn't considered an RPG really)
