This. If you like the mechanics of bg3, go play Divinity Original Sin 2. It has a lot of the same enhancements that Larian added to dnd for BG3. Including more comprehensive elemental fields and height mechanics.
And it has a great modding community.
The sad part about Larian and BG3 is I was hoping for a definitive edition that gave Karlach her good ending.
DOS2’s fatal flaw for me is that you really can’t have an optimal mixed-damage party because you have spell shield and armor, which each block one of two kinds of damage. If you go all physical, you can just blast through armor and then kill people that way. All magical and you can do the same thing for people with shield. Mixed damage parties just kinda suck by comparison because you’re effectively splitting your damage output.
It’s true, you should go either full magic, or full physical within a specific character, however a 2magic/2physical party is great as well since almost all the combat encounters will have a mix of heavy physical armor guys and heavy magic armor guys.
But really once you learn how the action economy works, as long as you don’t gimp your characters by putting dex on a mage or whatever, you can blow up most encounters regardless of the magic/physical make up of the party.
And of course you can also go lone-wolf archer and single handedly win all encounters on your own ;)
Nah, that’s her kinda bad ending. They cut the good good ending.
There is another ending for her involving the upper city(cut at the last minute due to performance issues) and I suspect the purified metal you get at the factory that involves her staying.
I don’t think we’re going to get the dos2 level of tools, simply because it would become a competitor to wotc’s fabulous virtual tabletop microtransaction simulator.
Same. It bugs me that people think larian only existed when making BG3. When DoS2 released on steam that game hit overwhelmingly positive in no time and I bought it day one with no idea what it was because the reviews were so good. Larian will be fine because they stick to what they’re great at and they’ve been around a long time.
I feel like this was part of their plan though. Get the limelight with dnd and show the kind of games that they make to people that wouldn’t have known beforehand. Now their next fully owned game is going to make them absolute bank in both money and good faith I think.
Larian already made DoS2 (which is better imo then bg3). In any case I look forward to the next Larian project.

If possible, play with mods, there are a few good ones that modify how the armor/magic armor system works in different ways.
Going with her to the nine hells is her “good” ending.
Letting her explode is her bad ending.

They did say something about releasing more endings (and also mod support) so here’s hoping! 🤞

It’s nice to hope though, with you on that.
I turned her into a mind flayer. She seemed fairly happy.

I really hope they’re going sci-fi. I can only replay the Mass Effect trilogy so many times.
Keep going, I’m almost there
Can I hug my big muscly girlfriend in that one though?
You can hug a very thin, very tall, cannibalistic girlfriend though.
Sebille ftw!
Sounds close enough
If that’s what makes reagular game a great game, there are not many great games…
Such is life. Grim and unfair
