What didn’t you like about it? I didn’t like divinity original sin so I’ve been hesitant on buying bg3.

As some who has played maybe 30-50% of DOS1+2 and currently the first of three acts in BG3: If you have issues with the gameplay mechanics in DOS1/2 you’ll likely have them in BG3 too. Main difference is a vastly improved storyline, which kinda makes up for most of them.

Issues I still have with BG3 boils down to only the active character can use its abilities in conversations and sometimes (mechanically) unexpected stuff happens that can only be undone by saves.

If your issue with DOS was a boring story and lack of hidden/funny things to uncover you should give BG3 a try, if you disliked the overall experience you likely won’t enjoy BG3.

To me it just felt like divinity with higher budget. It has Proper cinematic cutscenes and different rules to the combat. I guess I just don’t like CRPGs, I never properly feel immersed in the world.

Its weird because I loved dragon age origins and Pillars of eternity. I thought Wasteland 3 was ok.

I think with D:OS 2 I was annoyed that I didn’t choose a premade character at the start, and that the storyline was just, become a god. I don’t find that kind of narrative compelling. I also didn’t like the fairytale lighthearted vibes. The world didn’t feel “meaty” somehow.

You are giving me same vibes as myself, that meaty comment is spot-on. The game tell you that you’re traveling continents, but it never really feels like it, maybe we need a bit more imagination lol

This is how I feel too. I keep bouncing off of them, but I really want to like them.

I’m guessing it’s the top down camera that’s the issue with lack of immersion.

The only CRPG I didn’t bounce off of was Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Not 100% sure why that one clicked, but it might be the writing.
