Given the popularity and critical acclaim for D:OS2, saying anything bad about it is about the same as saying anything bad about having sex.
A fringe opinion.
This is lunatic cultist way of thinking and some of you really have to listen to yourselves talk before hitting that post button. Are you guys so determined to turn Larian into the next CDPR?
No one's denying that DOS2 was a great and wildly successful game. But to deny that it had any huge flaws at all, and acting like transplanting as much of it as possible into BG3 is a great idea that can't backfire is going to lead BG3 into a very unfortunate trajectory. Do you know why 'too much like DOS2' is an actual criticism here? Maybe actually think critically for a moment and realize that IT'S PRECISELY BECAUSE ALMOST EVERYONE HERE HAS PLAYED D:OS2 FRONT TO BACK, people have lived through the flaws inherent in that game's systems, and don't want those same problems being brought over into BG3 too!
Or did everyone somehow forget how bad DOS2's endgame was when it launched, and arguably still is?
Hell, I'd be willing to bet that a good amount of people using this criticism are actually FAR more familiar with DOS2 than people making ridiculous statements like the quoted post. Like I've beaten D:OS2 on Tactician with a full party without lone wolf cheese, and even I couldn't come up with a laughable analogy comparing it to sex.
