Exactly. And there are numerous other examples of goofy stuff in BG as well. It's not quite DOS level silliness, but it's there.
I'd put Tyranny over Divinity OS2. It's easily the better ROLEPLAYING-game and I personally like the battle system way more. It also has better story, lore and characters and I prefer the graphical style.
Can't really say I'd agree with a single point.
I liked Torment a lot but I know a lot of people didn't.
You are a man of ZERO taste.
So the rumor goes, but I wonder if it's going to be an actual reveal or just a "Yeah, we also have this on our catalog", followed by little or no actual showing.
Sven is in California right now. It will be a big one.
I think the Original Sin games are extremely overrated. The first one isn't even good. The second one is good for most parts, sometimes even great but overall very uneven. Especially that last act was really bad and the balancing is all over the place. I am also not a fan of how the world is build. Once you leave a location you can't return. There isn't even a good reason why it is made that way.
if the they announce it as a flagship title for Stadia we're gonna see something, likely a focus on the drop in from any device/ drop in a game with your favourite streamer etc
My guess is that it'll get announced as part of the service but there is no way in hell Larian would shoot themselves in the foot by keeping it away from other outlets.
I will tune in for sure. I wouldn't even mind if Sven just talked about the game without showing much.
Developers are capable of change. They are made of a group of people with all sorts of skills & can hire people based on their needs. Just because Divinity OS 1 & 2 are one way doesn't mean they can't do something different with Baldur's Gate 3. If they find BG-type storytelling to not be their forte or feel they aren't quite up to the task of RTWP combat, they can try to find people who bring that type of voice & expertise to their story/writing team & gameplay team.
Dark Alliances are hack 'n' slash dungeon crawler RPGs, the OG Baldur's Gates are fairly hardcore pen & paper inspired role-playing games with a "real time with pause" combat system & much bigger emphasis on story & choice.
They do seem to be doing their hardest to make it work as well as possible. Like, for example, originally you moved the characters by clicking on the screen where you want your character(s) to go but now you can move the whole group with the analog stick which should make traversal on consoles a lot less cumbersome than having to move some pointer on screen and picking a spot each time you want them to move. IIRC they've made a radial menu as well (someone can correct me on this if I'm wrong) to make choosing skills & such work better with a controller.
