games

you decide to betray someone and seek answers on your own to figure out the msytery holding you back?

"sorry I can't tell you now..."

etc.

divinity railroads you for act one so ill give act 1 a pass, but divinity also lets you skip everything, kill or side with anyone in the game without any issues, you can swear to the god king and gain the curse ability etc. etc.

you are quite literally not allowed to be evil here at all

but if you are good, your choices involved with being "good" are empty and nonexistent

theres no morally dubious choices either, its just "good" or "bad"

but if you just want gameplay fights its fine

though argubly less creative and interesting battles but not neciisarilly a bad thing

the early access portion is act 1, it came out a few years ago and has gotten small updates each update- its sort of jarring in some places bceause you can see the artifical divide from when they worked on some things, and the newer content feels slightly different- but in general act 1 feels pretty refined and bug free

and then the non-early access content just becomes entirely broken sometimes

i encountered 3 wrongwarps, and spooky found another

quests break, characters break

for their sake i hope act 2 was done last and act 3/baulders gate itself is extremely refined

I like the combat a lot more :)

I don’t particular care for the story in either game

That is my review

the story in BG3 is jsut funny at this point

and the combat is significantly better

that system feels a little underbaked

5e is underbaked

i dont think the combat is significantly better

If anything there's a little more in bg3

i think its better balanced

they feel

100x better

if you find the super upgrade

that makes them all bonus actionms

lol

nothing to do? just cast one at the end of your turn instead of trying a shove

I think the combat overall synergizes better, maybe that's good class balance or having a good system to borrow from in 5e

oh, yeah that'll fix them then Max

I still think they're underbaked, but that makes th active ones more useful at least

divinites main issue is the armor system

it basically makes it so you cant play a 3/1 party

and causes some turns to feel uselesss

im starting to hit the uh

martials falling off point as well

i guess its balanced to have it so that martial strong early, magic strong late

like insane my fighter can hit twice for 9-30~ damage and has a chance to do some special effects... OR i can just blast 8d6 +50% +2d4 in an aoe every turn

Caster supremacy hitting hard

We love casting spells

the only reason my rogue is still useful is

i noticed assassin is insanely buffed in this

so i went gloomstalker assassin multiclass

and turn one they always crit and do insane ranged damage

but after turn 1 theyre half useless

Yep

so they wipe out half the enemis turn 1 then hit for like 20 damage a turn after that

Classic rogues

which still feels more useful than my fighter

i was expecting some like, fighter gear or super strong weapons...

to balance it out

Martials are theoretically better in this game because they encourage the prolonged adventuring day, but I guess you can just keep long resting anyways

i have

10k

supplies

Yeah

its 80

to rest

i could run full wizard

they should make it so u cant rest in dungeons

Honestly they should make long resting advance more stuff

That could be cool

i have found ONE area that

blocked resting

and it was fighting my way out of an area, but halfway through it let me rest and tp out again

They should program a pikmin timer where your brain gets eaten if you don't beat the game before then

so boring

Brain rot tied to long rest would’ve been really cool

itd be cool if you couldnt rest in dungeons

Darkest dungeon

short rests only

almost all the special gear i found in act 2

has been for

mages as well

its so odd
