Comment on Divinity Original Sins 2: An unbelievably awesome game

  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.

  @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.
