The chunk of negativity isn't even widespread, it's purely directed by 5e DnD cultists who think their dice marathon gameplay makes for a superior experience to Divinity.
I'm not a D&D 5 purist at all but I think that a better balance between Larian's homebrewed and D&D would lead to a superior experience to Divinity.
Is that negativity ?
I can already tell his video likely involved several save reloading in case the dice rolls didn't favor him.
It's absolutely abysmal videogame design. Keep that crap for tabletop trolling with friends; this design has no place in a single player RPG videogame experience.
Their biggest mistake is trying to please the 5e crowd, which will be insatiable and only cares for strict adherence to their sacred book regardless of how many potential players not interested in 5e tabletop play it alienates. They should have kept the Forgotten Realms IP and storytelling and discarded the awful 5e in favor of creating their own cRPG game, which has brought them to the financial success that they are by this point.
This video is boring because he's playing a solo cleric.
Being able to play a solo cleric easily in a normal game mode shouldn't be possible.
On the other hand, encounters aren't designed to play with a solo character...that's why it's so slow.
About missing seriously I'm laughing...
He missed once with 60% to hit... Once with 94 %... Once with 54%
Out of what ? 15 actions ???
3 turns / 15... Seriously how could that be a problem ?
Did you really play any other tactical TB games ?
Because this has
nothing to do with D&D.
