So years ago when Larian's last big game Divinity Original Sin II came out, I was very taken and bought it shortly after release. This solidified my loathing of turn-based combat and isometric RPGs, despite how much I enjoyed the art, characters, and story. There was one day I loaded it up and it had not saved a battle I'd finished the night before which had taken maybe an hour to get through and I was just done. I sold it back to Gamestop for like $10 the next day.
Having given BG3 a run and decided it was actually great fun and I could just put the combat on easy and work through it that way, I decided maybe it was worth giving DOS2 another shot, so here we are. I rebought the game and loaded it up and Xbox prompts me to continue my last save from 2019. Yarmeau, my lizard of I-forgot-what-class-and-origin!
But I'm starting from scratch. I'm sure I messed up countless things on that playthrough and I've forgotten most of the plot. I can already see how playing BG3 has made it easier to get used to the DOS2 gameplay!
Still playing as a pink lizard lady though. I will get one of them through the finish line here.
