after the wife and I put ~350hrs into BG3, we were hungering for more. We went back and played Divinity Original Sin 1/2. 1 was tough to play by modern standards but 2 definitely holds up. There seem to be a few easter eggs here and there but I don't see any reason you'd have to play 1 to understand 2. The combat and skill system is a little different but still very intuitive once you get the hang of it and is definitely a solid recommend for anyone who wants more baulder's gate but has already done every playthrough under the sun.
Yeah, I think D:OS2 is still a good call for people wanting more. Trying to talk my gaming partner into picking it up.
I think the first D:OS is too much of a quality-of-life nightmare at this point to recommend.
I’m soooo thankful BG3 went with the skill wheel rather than the skill bars like in DoS 1/2. The bars were a pain to try to keep organized (at least on console or playing with a controller), and I’d always forget to use skills that were on bars 3 or higher.
I guess I should have specified PC, the interfaces on PC are very similar and most of the hotkeys are the same across all 3 games which is a big plus
Ah ok I’ve only really played on Xbox, since that’s where my CRPG buddy is. Still trying to convince him to build a gaming PC. Or at least get a steam deck haha
I'm actively trying not to start up my 4th run. I beat it three times back to back. And I have a multiplayer game going. I also have a slew of partially started games. But I have to give it a break because there's a point where it's a hobby and there's a point where it's an addiction for me
