  1. DOS 2 was fun but I found the loot system was a problem. Hopefully static loot is the answer. I just found that you fought through a whole act to get legendary equipment by the end of the act to make yourself a badass, then start the next act and some rags and a wooden sword you find in a barrel have better stats. Made it so I just didn't really care about the loot that may be hard to get because I would replace it soon anyway. BG2 was the best game I ever played for loot progression. You managed to do a whole side quest for a sword it was probably useful for a good portion of the game. I hope this is where BG3 will shine over DoS 2 but I am fearing it will have the dreaded Leveled equipment curse. Can anyone tell me if it is the case?

  2. Great video! It got me even more hyped on BG3 after finishing DOS!

    But more that this video I loved those "automatically generated " subtitles.

  3. Honestly this is a stupid comparison when one game you can actually play the full game and the other you have the first chapter beta…
    Bg3 is a great game but honestly people should just wait for the full game release.

    Reply
  4. I might have missed it, but I think you are forgetting one extremely important emotional difference between the two. BG3 uses a 'standard A-B shot' format for camera work during conversations, while Div remains in the same overhead perspective. That medium shot exchange, and occasional close up, may make players feel FAR more invested in the characters and their stories compared to Div's long shot style.

  5. DOS2 is just the better game. More interesting main/origin characters, more customization of abilities/classes, spells/abilities feel much more impactful, and even basic attacks don't end up missing half the time, more intuitive UI (although the ability to jump and shove is a nice addition for BG3), better/more unique items, more polished (obviously). Both have good storylines though and overall BG3 is still a good game in it's current state.

  6. I really want to to try out this game (I will when it ends early access and releases fully) but I'm really concerned about the dice roles being implemented, it seems to me that this will hinder any over powered end game characters? (Or the opposite, making enemies unable to land an attack due to needing extraordinary high rolls)

    Can anyone break down the die rolling a little more, or perhaps tag a video that explains it?

    Thanks in advance, also, have my sub

  7. I've only played the first Divinity game and I hated it. But I am loving BG3 so far, although the less similar it becomes to DoS, the better (in particular I'm talking about level design – not the general ruleset – things like placing explosive barrels everywhere, fights being overtuned to the point where you have to use an 'exploit' like unlimited stealth or surface effects to win, else you TPK, etc.)

    It's a great game, but I'd love to see it balanced more towards RAW.

    Reply
  8. Also, I'd point out that if you think that a character can't have a massive alpha strike turn, then you haven't watched much min/max solo builds on YT yet. Check out sintee's channel, it's actually pretty amazing what you can do already, even with the level cap at four. I can't even imagine what level five is going to open up in terms of possibility. In particular, since Patch 4, Druids can just absolutely smash through everything.

  9. DOS2 is fun, I'll tell you. I only got into it after I played the first one on the xbox a few years back. I've only played DOS2 on the switch though, and there are some issues when playing it on the handheld. resolution isnt good tbh. especially on the big screen. it obviously gets more crisp when you zoom the camera in, but thats not the way you want to play lmao. the game crashes at random moments, so you have to save A LOT. the framerate starts to glitch when there are so many things happening on screen, and there are so many thinga happening on screen especially during battles, you cant even bypass that. going into towns also makes things so frustrating..anyway, the game is still playable. highly recommend it to new players. reminder that this only happens on the switch

  10. one of the things I didn't like as much in DOS2 is that, especially on tactician, combat is over really really quickly. You set up and execute one, maybe 2 big combos and everyone is dead. It also meant that if you didnt kill or stun a character in the first or second turn you got (again, ESPECIALLY on tactician), you were pretty much boned.

  11. Who actually makes a video like this to compare a finished and rereleased game to one that JUST came to Early Access?

    Why not wait until idk, the game is finished first? 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Reply
  12. Chalk it up to early access but BG3 does not look nearly as fun as DoS2. I doubt this will change when it finally hits 1.0.
    I'll still with DoS2 and wait for DoS3 if that ever comes.

    Reply
  13. Didn't play divinity games because of tedious and annoying turn based combat. BG3 I will play because I love DnD lore but only when it comes out fully and with a trainer to speed up the combat and just focus on story and characters.

    Reply
  14. In both games i experienced that no one else except our own team is moving on the map. It creates an uncomfortable feeling of everything being static in the game. I mean, did you ever meet someone walking on the ways? No, characters always wait for your coming. Do you feel the same?

    Reply
  15. As a non dnd person and newb to turn based games…divinity 2 was shit and I stopped after an hour whereas bg3 is addicting and I can't wait to get back in having played 2.5 hrs.

    Reply
  16. I've relied on your website for years for ESO but somehow never watched your excellent videos until now. I loved BG and BG II but just didn't like the feel of DOS II and quickly quit. Larian's videos for BG 3 made it look like an endless combat grind. But this video showing that is good because of limited AoEs, and showing where BG 3 is like Dragon Age Origins (most immersive game I ever played) with gorgeous cut scenes makes it look so good I'm going to have to try it.

    Reply
  17. i just hope you can redistribute your points if you messed up in BG3 like in DOS2 on the lady vengance. That shit should be implemented in every rpg videogame ever. Instead of making a little mistake cuz it was your first playthrough and having a stat in the wrong place doing nothing for the rest of the game

    Reply
  18. half of it you are comparing end game dos2 to the beginning of bg3. how do you know there arent going to be more skills for the martial classes later? how do you know you wont be able to kill multiple things a turn when you level up higher
