I mean why not feed a troll thread? It looks hungry and it's Xmas eve. *tiny tim voice* Please, sir, can I have another reaction?
(I modified this quote)
It was so broken that u can just run through the game..as in just running and nothing else.
1) Fighting a lich? get out and wait 2 mins untill it runs out of spells buffs and get in again
2) Boots of speed was so broken that u can actually go in a fight and get out causing miss of every spell, or change direction at once.. lets say while a fireball approaching
3) Also kiting anything the the same strategy..
4) 100.000k damage on shadow lord with the infamous daystar sword
5)stupid dragons with +18 - 20 intelligence access to almost all the spells but cant use a dispell properly.
1-3 sure. And there were other exploits. But I never used them and no one is forcing you to use them.
4) Bodi still has lots of hitpoints after you do that. Now granted BG2 was unfinished and the daystar was supposed to a reward for a quest tied to the Temple of Lathander. Sad that the quest never made it into the game.
5) That's just wrong. Firkraag uses uses dispel properly and he also hits you with lower fire resistance to remove your buffs. Granted he does other stupid stuff -- like keep on sleeping while you summon fire elementals but youtube tells me that loooots of people loved that fight. I remember one of the BG2 fansites -- Sorcerer's Place -- eventually told people to stop posting photos of dead dragons because so many people loved that fight and wanted to be acknowledged for their accomplishment.
I am just so happy that obsidian didnt get a chance to ruin Baldur's Gate name with their plain cheesy character design or story depth,
besides I ve never seen a incredibly good RPG from them.
Please. The story and plot of PoE1 were brilliant. Had a memory element that worked without seeming like a rip off of Torment, had a way to make the MC stand out without using fate / chosen one, had a great twist at the end and the choices you made were meaningful. And Durance is one of the best 'romances' ever.
Now, I've said lots of times, the good thing about Larian getting BG3 is they don't worship at the altar of balance like Obsidian does. DOS2's Pyroclastic eruption is broken OP. It's also loads of fun and I'm glad it was never nerfed. Obsidian, on the other hand, has a nerfing obsession -- even obsessing on whether some mid range dagger is OP.
So if you want criticize Obsidian from a gameplay perspective I'm with you but story perspective :p
Some were saying too many stuff going on in a small zone and different monsters in same area just think of Athlanka..
in the same sewer theres rakasha, mindflayers, githyanki, beholder cults, a forgotten god, vampire den,liches, list goes on and on..
Eh, I get what you are saying but "too much content" is not a criticism I agree with.
With you on barrels and dodges.
Way too early to demand before even the real game comes out but.. DLCs
Waaaaaaay to early to talk about DLCs. And DLCs are just not a good business practice. Another thing I like about Larian is that they give away content without requiring people to dish out for DLCs. I'm done with DOS2 but I still think it's great that the devs are still adding content like the armors of Rivelon this long after release.
Obviously wouldn't be here if the game didn't show promise. And the devs have shown they are willing to change so . ..
