Personally I played and finished Baldur's Gate 3, I have run campaigns using DnD 5e and PF2e.

Would this be something that could be recommended to a person like?

I haven't tried the previous one named Kingmaker, but the Wrath of the Righteous is on sale right now on my Xbox.

I'm thinking about getting it but I don't know enough about it. Obviously it's a different game but would it be comparable to Baldur's Gate 3?

I haven't played many team-based RPG games like this.

I've personally played and enjoyed games with RPG elements like BG3, Fate, Shining Force 1 & 2, Fallout, Mass Effect, Mewgenics, Cardinal Quest 2, and others.

• The authors name I can't remember Jonathan or Christopher or Wolf
• He went to Vietnam, there he had an old dog that lazily snapped at flies
• When he was younger he had a crazy Russian girlfriend he would keep getting together with, I believe she was named Vera, she crashed his car, and they smoked together afterward
• He would watch a show called Bonanza I think with his squadmate
• One chapter a Chinook helicopter dropped a heavy mounted machine gun near him, it could have squished him
• I don't remember him describing seeing combat in the book, but I believe he was hospitalized at some point and was sent home
• When he returns home as a civilian he considers a writing career. He married a woman that was not Vera.

I'm talking about a collection of piratey items like say magical tattoos, compasses, swords, prosthetic limbs, magical eyepatches

Plothooks for island adventures, stuff for naval exploration, sea monsters, pirate type enemies, etc.

Is there a module or a book that came out or some kind of tag I'm missing so be able to look for these kind of things?
