My grand grandfathers second grade uncles niece....

Why do you people always think nobody here has played Baldurs Gate or is too lazy to google search for 5 minutes to be able to point out that the whole "Baldurs gate is such a deep and serious story" yadda yadda isnt true.
Baldurs gate, like every RPG, has its silly moments and it has its serious moments. Just like the Divinity games.
You played one of em, OS1, a game that is based on northern central european fairytales.
A game that was basically a toolset of systems rather than a big story.

You couldve played Divine Divinity, or Divinity 2 or OS2 and youd be saying very different things. Im not even the Larian studios defense force here, Humor is their thing and theyve made games like Dragon commander that basically throw story out of the window in favor of political satire, but it snot like thats the only kind of story they can do, not to mention they work together with WOTC ont his.
You realy think a company like WOTC that is notorious about enforcing the boundries of their property would let Larian just run wild?


Full voice over: thats your opinion. Baldurs gate didnt have full voice over because doing full voice over is expensive. OS2 originally wasnt going to have it either. I dont realy see the point here, how does having the text read out to you negativeley impact the story? Just turn it off.

Combat System: Larian has done Diablo like ARPG combat, something like RTWP (beyond divinity, not realy but eh), Oblivion style combat, Dragons with jetpacks, RTS and full Turn based.
i wouldnt say Larian is "known" for turnbased combat when the majority of their games arent.
Thats like saying Obsidian is known for their fish romance plots.
From what Sven said, well be getting a compleltey new system. And realy, RTWP is a bad system, ive said this before and ill say it again, RTWP is a limitation of its time. If the developers of that time wouldve had todays technology, they would have made a very different kind of combat system.


Too much freedom: Dios mio. I dont even know what to tell you. One of the reasons BG was loved was because of the gorillion of different dialogue options.Its a DnD game, freedom is the highest goal here. And realy, you dont like Cheese? You ever played a Wizard in any infinity engine game? Or in DnD for that matter. The class could only be cheesier if it was yellow and had holes in it.
And then in the next paragraph, thats the funniest bit, you essentialy talk about cheesing encounters.
Yes, you get exactly that feeling in OS if you actually think about what you do. Chances are, you just didnt explore around, you didnt fully abuse the capeabilities of the system.
If you havent built a very strong charcter just so you can one shot bosses by throwing death fog at them, you havent lived.

Muh Cashgrab.
Yeah right, Larian the cashgrab studio. Larian "Lets break up with Publisher so we can make the kind of games we want to play" the cashgrab studio.


Yeah and then you go on a tangent about fighting hundreds of illithids.... because of a CGI trailer.

You know what, this is a waste of time, you were obviously banned becaue you came here to get angry.
