Divinity: Original Sin 2, Larian's previous game is #13 and they did that one when the studio was a fraction of the size it is now and on a miniscule budget when compared to BG3. It's just a wonderful studio, full of talent and enthusiasm that starts from the top.
Yeah and dos2 they really figured out the formula. Bg3 feels basically like dos2 but with a lot more story and cinematics, but not to say dos2 didn't already have a ton too. It's a good thing though, both games are amazing.
That was all I ever needed to hear. ๐
I really like that dice roll mechanic they added in BG3, it's highly satisfying. But yeah, mechanically D:OS2 and BG3 are pretty much the same. I hope BG3 makes people give D:OS2 a try.
Honestly that's my biggest complaint tbh. I just don't like DnD combat. Miss rates are way to high and feel awful. It's way too RNG and I have to save scum like crazy.
I'm happy to keep the systems different like this. That way D:OS and BG continue to be different play experiences, because I do want a D:OS3
I absolutely adore their feedback/early access system.
All games should have an early access like that. Not a shitty way to release a crap full of bugs to steam out, but a very analytic/data and feedback base way to improve the game. Basically giving the players a very large demo that can be easily changed in order to improve it.
I bought divinity 2 when it came out. Haven't played it yet! Still in the back log.
There are so many hilariously broken builds. You can play it serious or you can go the full comedy route.
barrelmancy > all other builds
