Man, BG games are really some of the best! Give it a play!
I kinda missed the isometric, point and click era of RPG's because I grew up in an Apple household. So I played a lot of Warcraft 2 during that time period. Is Baldur's Gate 3 going to be that same style of game kinda in the vein of Divinty Original Sin?
Yep, it feels very much like a dndified version of divinity original sin 2
It's basically Divinity: DnD Edition.
Yes! It's the same developer as Divinity.
The games don't play exactly the same, but they are the same style.
Yeah I've never been a fan of the point-and-click isometric mechanics, but I've been playing some BG3 and it's pretty well done, I'm enjoying it. Definitely feels exactly like Divinity OS 2 but with DnD lore. Granted, I wasn't a big DOS2 fan but that was mostly because the story tried so hard to be miserable all the time and make the player feel like shit for any decision they made. I'm not super far into BG3 but I don't quite get that same vibe from it.
Pretty sure I played it on PC in like 1994
Indeed. Minsc and Boo stand ready!
