Restart!

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.

I've been thinking about trying out DOS2 again, too, now that I've had some time with BG3. Let me know your thoughts on it! My first time trying it was pretty rocky, as well...😭

I will update at the end of this playthrough 🫡I do feel like I have a better grasp on the mechanics now that I've played BG3 a few times, although this one is definitely less technically polished.

Awesome! And it is...I think BG3 was them finally being able to put polish on their RPG gameplay and interface.
