Personal taste is always a factor. I'm curious, though - which CRPGs do you consider less tedious/more interesting?
@Taliesin @solidstate Legend of Grimrock has its moments.
Grimrock and Grimrock II were awesome! Not really CRPGs, though. Dungeon crawlers in the tradition of Eye of the Beholder (apparently the sub-genre is called "blobbers," I am amused to have just learned. On account of the party moving around as a blob).
@Taliesin You are right, is not really a CRPG, but when I played for first time LoG, that was my déjà vu, hehe.
I enjoyed both Baldur's Gates, Planescape Torment, Pillars of Eternity, Arcanum, Gothic, I don't know, pretty much RPGs across the board I think.
That's a solid list, though I'm surprised to see Pillars up there. Gave both 1 and 2 really serious tries, tens of hours each, and just couldn't get through them. Flat characters and uninspired world, I felt. I even like Critical Role but found their performance in PoE2 phoned in.
Yes I put it there to point out that I enjoyed even more mediocre games like Pillars more than Divinity. Thus my confusion.
