  • I haven’t played it yet but would like to so no spoilers please, but from what little I’ve seen it just looks like reskinned and slightly upgraded D:OS2.

    DOS2 is one of my favorite games of all time and i am somewhat suspicious that people think Baldur’s gate is some novel masterpiece when really it’s that Divinity is super under rated and relatively unknown by comparison. Can anyone who has played both games weigh in on this?

    And if it is the case that gameplay is very similar, is it just the setting / writing that is much better in BG that makes it stand apart or was it just coincidence / hype that made this game succeed harder?



  • True, although LD and SNW have for sure drawn down the serialization if not outright abandoned it. I really like that about the new shows (and why discovery is my least favorite of all treks). I guess I was just commenting on pieces where the formula has not yet been tweaked, cause they did tweak it there to great effect.


  • That’s fair, I’m not saying it’s bad in any way, but I doubt the experience is enhanced in any way by it being a more tight story (unlike many dramas where succinctness does add to the plot). It would just be that much better if it had a little time and space to breath.

    I think if you had 26 episodes of which only 10 were worthwhile it’d be about the same difference. The trick is more episodes without sacrificing quality too much. Obviously a big ask but that’s why it’s hard to make good tv lol
