I just hate the terrain effects of 2. Oops, the ground is all cursed, electrified water. I hope they do away with that.
I tried so hard to get into both DOS and DOS2, but just couldn’t. I hate the combat and found the story not worth pushing threw the utterly shit combat for.
It’s extra frustrating because both games should be right up my alley, but both were complete misses for me. Friends and family still recommend them for me, but I disliked those games so much I refuse to touch BG3. I don’t trust Larian or the reviews.
There’s an enormous jump in quality of story, presentation, and quest design between D:OS2 and BG3, and the RPG mechanics are very different. It’s worth a shot, seriously.
Oh, I hated divinity, but BG3 is one of the best games there is. I hope you can trust my review, because I’m sad thinking of you missing it.
I absolutely loved BG3, and I I haven’t liked an RPG since Dragon’s Quest 2 back in 1988. I plan on picking up DOS2 in 2 weeks, so if you remind me I can let you know how the two games compare. BG3 was a revelation to me, opening my eyes to a completely new way of enjoying games. The writing was good, the game-play good, the graphics good. BUT!! If I play DOS2 and also like that, then I could give you that feedback.
I loved the idea but it had too much of an impact on how a battle plays out. I hope it‘s kept but toned down considerably.

Lingering effects for sure. Throwing a pot of water at someone and throwing lightning at them for aoe bonus damage would be fine with me though.
