I love how for all you D:OS fans, everything you love about D:OS is "objective" but everything others hate about D:OS is "subjective." wink

The D:OS games were deplorable in every aspect. Yes, I only played the first game, but everything I hated about that game is also to be found in the second game, so I see zero reason to try it.

As for BG3, it also has horrible combat. The only reason I continue to stick around is in the hope that DESPITE its horrible combat its other aspects will prove to be good.

And to say BG3 is more D&D than the original BG games is just plain silly.

But, as @Abits says, this entire discussion is pointless. WotC decided to go with Larian, and that's that. Obsidian and CDPR are, indeed, my current two most favored RPG studios, and who make the best RPGs out there as far as I am concerned. But the decision was not up to me. Oh well. smile
