Would be if TotK wasn't released this year. BG3 is fantastic and I won't be surprised if it wins many more GOTY awards, but BG3 doesn't feel like a completely different game compared to other cRPGs the way TotK does to even its own same-generation predecessor.
I think the physics-based zonai construction puzzle solving in TotK is much more unique and impressive, and how differently you tackle problems in TotK game and know that many of those solutions aren't possible in other games (basically none of the solutions you will discover are possible in BotW). Not to mention all this is smoothed out with little technical issue on the weakest hardware of the generation.
Its a vertical vs horizontal comparison with me, and I favor the unique and genre-expanding gameplay of TotK over the sprawling but familiar gameplay of BG3, even if it is being pushed to cover the largest amounts of ground the genre has seen in many years.
