divine divinity is the only good game made by larian

I have played four Larian games: Divine Divinity, DOS1, DOS2, BG3
Of those four, the best was DOS2 and the worst was BG3.

here is my problem with this game. patience because is hard to explain.

so the main selling point of the game is what breaks it for me.

you can't get all companions and play with them. each mission will play slightly different but just enough to hint at other solutions. and you want to know what those stupid different paths are. I never managed to finish the game then start again with a different party. That is because every party has some flaw that makes all feel incomplete. the stupid game should had let me take all companions at once because is clear they designed the game like that then some retard from management, probably the ceo, decided that they need to cut content back so people have a reason to replay the game.

second problem is the absolute difficulty unbalance. is fucking rough.

I don't remeber the names of the difficulties but ignoring the permadeth version because that is for losers, lets say medium and hard. the medium is too easy, because I like to micromanage, give the best pants for each character, that ring, that weapon, once I get to a fight they offer no challenge. the hard difficulty is even worse. because now while the fights are more strategic, I can enjoy them, the absolute retardeness that is the level design with fucking explosive barrels and environment damage everywhere is true bullshit.

you spend 10 minutes carefully planning and dancing your skills and micromanage and is all good then some faggot npc summon a bunch of explosion everywhere and you are fucked. (pic related) is so bad that every time I start a new play-trough, usually once every two years, I quit around the time you get out of the starter area, you escape the prison.

the problem with the game from these developers is that most players will play the first 20% of the game then lose interest but they leave a good review. because it make sense for their experience. it was nice after all. but as a cohesive experience this is bad. baldurs gate3 has the same problems

The previous entry, as well as BG 3, all plays with limit of 4 niggas in a party. If you don't like it there is a mod for that.

one of the few crpgs with fun combat

>>4095441
You’re supposed to play the game as a custom party of four generics you created yourself, and let all the faggy origin characters die.

>>4095458
you lose half of content like that. all quests have custom crap added for each character

>>4095503
Don’t let those Belgian faggots coerce you like that. Play the game the way you want to. Fuck their “origin character” garbage. Full party creation supremacy.

>>4095458
and then at the end of act 2 all of them show up as evil skeletons swearing vengeance against you for killing them, even if you didn't talk to a single one of them

>>4096437
In BG3, if you kill all of the origin characters on the beach, Lae’zel’s corpse teleports to the monastery map (presumably for some cutscene that was supposed to happen), Astarion teleports to that mansion basement in act 3 as a zombie, and Viconia grills you about WHERE IS THE SHADOWHEART YOU ARE KNOWN TO TRAVEL WITH HER! Bitch I never even talked to her

>>4096659
I dropped BG3 after Shadowheart teleported across the map to have a plot conversation about the macguffin with me like she was in my party even though I completely ignored her after the tutorial
Larian has no respect for player autonomy if that autonomy includes not giving a fuck about their characters

Yup Swen even admitted into an interview that the cutscene you’re describing was retarded but they wrote themselves into a corner and needed a failsafe to ensure you interacted with her because without the MacGuffin there’s no story.
In the early access, if you ignored her, she’d eventually come to your camp in the middle of the night and attack you, saying she was driven mad by the spiky d20 and it was compelling her to seek you out. Was a less dumb way of handling it than the teleportation shit.
