    Anyone comment on the general writing style? I didn’t gel with the Divinity games. Loved the gameplay systems but found that the tone of the writing stopped me from getting sucked into the world unlike the original BG games.

      RPGs aren’t my style generally so I can’t really put my finger on anything specific with storytelling but I can at least say , for someone that (unfortunately) finds it difficult to get into stories, I found bg3 much more intriguing and easier to get sucked into then divinity 2.

      I’m also currently playing on a build from 2 years ago and seeing all the updates since then, I’m really exited to pick it up today and see how it’s improved.

      Aside from the writing style, it’s much more cinematic than the div games. I’m finding it a lot easier to get sucked into the story

      I think the writing is overall better than it was in Divinity Original Sin 2. The world is darker and more sinister. There is also a deeper emphasis on what your character is thinking, with a narrator describing things more regularly to you.

      That being said this is unmistakably a Larian game. I’d suggest watching some gameplay online to see if it’s for you.

        darker and more sinister

        Seriously? I found DoS2 to be pretty grim overall.

        That’s great to read. I really like DOS2, but the dialogue tends to be a bit too nudge-nudge-wink-winky sometimes.

          Yeah, that game was being silly at the beginning, but it got much darker very quickly. Some quibs here and there, and I got a lot of laughs, but that game wasn’t all that funny overall.
