"i smell a troll"
No you don't. You just want this topic to be closed by mods under the false accusation of trolling. You use the same tactics on the steam forums and your allied mods there are all too happy to enforce this cencorship.
To adress the topic i just have to say i guess it was my mistake to expect fun combat from a Larian game just like it would be wrong expecting a souldlike from From Software or an open world rpg from Bethesda. They are a DnD studio now and every crpg has to be like pillars and pathfinder because they sold so much more copies than the Divinity games...oh wait. I bought Dos 1 and 2 at release but clearly it's my time to step aside now and hand it over to the friendly and totally not obnoxious dnd fandom. I wish you the best of luck.
Lol. Now I know you're a troll. Thanks for confirming.
Psst. There isn't 1 truthful thing that you said about me in the above quote. Not 1. And there's not 1 truthful thing, imo, that you said period about anything in the above quote.
Thanks for playing.
Well, to be fair... the fun of combat is somewhat subjective. I certainly do not find combat as fun in Baldur's Gate 3 as it was in Divinity: Original Sin 2. That being said I didn't really expect the exact same combat given that Baldur's Gate 3 is built around D&D whereas D:OS2 systems are custom built for video games.
D:OS2 is either my favorite game of all-time or comes in second behind The Witcher 3. I would have preferred D:OS3 or whatever the next Divinity entry would be called over Baldur's Gate 3. I do think Baldur's Gate 3 is a lot of fun as well - I imagine it will become even more fun at level five. I think most of the non-combat systems are major upgrades over D:OS2... and as far as D&D games go Baldur's Gate 3 is the best one I have played from a combat perspective.
That being said I agree it is rather odd for someone to buy a D&D game and then complain it is a D&D game.
