I think only 10% of the vote is public, the rest is from critics, so Nintendo fans won't have as much sway. From what I've heard TotK is basically just another BotW. No real innovation or any wow factor. But it is definitely a contender. AW2 feels like a dark horse candidate, but with the word of mouth buzz I've read online it's definitely on my to buy and play list.I think BG3 getting game of the year would be definitely deserved, however, It's going to be Tears of the Kingom, let's be real.
I think both are deserving, and as much as I love TotK, I really wouldn't mind seeing BG3 get it instead, because of the impact it had. I just don't see it happening however, it's Nintendo they're up against after all. Maybe I'll be proven wrong though, who knows.
The real big twist would be if somehow Alan Wake II won game of the year... now that would be truly surprising.
As far as Starfield goes, it just looks like fallout in space... and the shooting doesn't feel all that great, and there's some pretty boring downtime at times. Some people are saying that game got snubbed not being nominated for GOTY, but I disagree.
