    Divinity Original Sin 1 or 2 have never really captured me but hoping this game is the kind of rpg I've been looking for sense finally playing Dragon Age Origins. Glad it's coming out of early access.

    Still haven't played through Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 lol.

      I couldn't get into those either, I think it was just too light hearted and whimsical maybe? I enjoy darker sword and sorcery fantasy. I liked pillars of eternity for example.

        yes thank you! I've heard great things about Pillars (haven't played it yet) and am enjoying Tyranny for it's writing and gameplay and in spite of it's art style not being the greatest imo, which is also made by Obsidian.

        Divinity Original Sins world and overall design just feels too much like a GAME ya know. It's clearly well polished and has a lot of depth but it's world feels so light hearted (Unlike Pillars Of Eternity or Dragon Age 1) and not immersive. The world building feels like it exists for the sake of the game and gameplay structure rather then it's own other place.

        Not really a critique, can tell they are very solid games yet like you they didn't capture my interest.

          That's intentional I think. The game is designed to be linear and easy to understand with decent pacing. Compared to a true crpg like pathfinder, divinity is far more easier to get into.
