Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Am I missing something?

I found it odd as well - the game has its charms but it's nowhere near what many make it out to be.

Dialogue/story are both pretty mediocre/cliche RPG and fairly lackluster with the one redeeming quality being good humor scattered here and there.

Combat is very imbalanced, the AI needs work, and character building leaves a lot to be desired. UI all around has obvious problems and really dampens the experience.

There are a fair number of other smaller but still irritating issues with its design that add up to significantly weigh the gameplay down as well.

I think maybe it's just been awhile since a decent turn based RPG like this came out, so people were looking for it to be good and more forgiving or willing to overlook the problems or something.

Even as I say all this, right now D:OS is all I have to play while waiting for Pillars of Eternity. And it's playable enough to sink a decent number of hours into, even if as I do so I'm grumbling to myself in my head about the many problems marring the gameplay.
