What you are saying is that you liked BG3 and not so much Divnity, that is absolutely normal as these two games targeted two different audiences. After spending 300+ hours in DOS, 500+ hours in DOS2, and beating Divine Divinity twice I want to say "hold my beer buddy" smile Larian's BG3 was targeting wider audience and it did pretty well, yet sorry to disappoint you, but it was more a kinda side project because Swen won't stop till he makes it. Check out his and Larian's story, how they started and what Swen's mindset and vision are like.

I cringe every time I see somebody bashing DOS/DOS2 and uses BG3 as a role model / benchmark. Isn't it super obvious if Swen hear you and make Divinity a.k.a. BG3-wanna-be it will be flop for being neither Divinity nor BG? The only way to succeed (i.e. deliver a good game and generate income) is to use the same formula that made previous Divinity games successful and loved. Divinity is KING

My criticism is more directed at the world, creatures, enemy design etc. of Divinity 1/2, which seem less interesting than those in Baldur's Gate/dnd. I hope Larian improves these aspects. ๐Ÿ˜
