I’d bet my entire life savings (about $3) that a bunch of hogs made a concentrated effort to get the Blood Libel Game™ nominated. There’s no chance it wins against BG or LC but its still bizarre to see
also Starfield got a nom for “Most Innovative Gameplay” 
idk RT has all the problems that Wrath has but i dont think it has nearly as much of cool shit like the mythic paths which alter your game in so many ways
the loss of the ability to change to real time combat makes combat a massive drag in the late game too
wierd holes in the polish of the game are also present like the sporadic voice acting and important story characters not having stuff like portraits, the whole game just feels rushed
the thing that RT has over wrath is the setting tho, much more interesting than the generic fantasy that pathfinder feels like
have you gotten to act 4?
