I’m not much for crpg style combat anyway, I tried to play divinity 2 and didn’t get too far in it.
Divinity was lackluster for me too, despite their pretty neat combat system - I just don't like neither the ruleset nor the setting.
If you played pen-and-paper D&D you might actually like the combat in BG2 better - it's the actual (though now pretty old) D&D ruleset, admittedly with its imbalances but that can be pretty fun (playing a mage, for example, means being made of sugar at first but ending up a living god capable of invoking whole armies in large battles). It's also real-time, pause-when-you-want, so it can be much less involved than Divinity's combat if you enable the AI options.
I think disco made the right choice eschewing combat all together.
Have you played bg3 yet? Curious what your thoughts where on it since it’s made by Larian.
I’ve played 5e a few times. I’m actually pretty into dnd and always read the new books but I never get to play cuz I’m in my 30s and all my friend’s have families and shit haha.

Not yet, waiting for release. I'm curious as well and I don't know if I'll be disappointed or pleasantly surprised.

The bane of all D&D groups: actually making everyone come together regularly enough is incredibly difficult :sadness:
I've said it before but that must be one upside to living in, say, a remote base in Antarctica. Imagine, you could have the whole group to play for sure every two nights or something.

Fully agreed.

Yeah I wish I had discovered it back In high school or college but honestly my mom would have probably thought we were talking to demons or something
