Dodger Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I tried to get into the first D:OS but couldn't. Should I try to get back into that or go straight into the sequel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxEvil AshxX Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Could be Divinity 3. As in, the sequel to Ego Draconis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year, an ex-Larian employee claimed that the studio had acquired the Baldur's Gate license and had started working on the game. Of course, Larian denied the claim, but then inXile's Brian Fargo went on Twitter and said that BGIII was in development and he knows the studio working on it.

If you're facing higher level enemies and think that there aren't any other weaker enemies to fight, there are but somewhere else where you either missed the entrance or skipped earlier when the enemies were a higher level than you and forgot about it. So if the problem was just frustration with a fight you couldn't get past give it another try. I would suggest trying to get back into D:OS before trying D:OS II because the armor system they added can make things tougher and if you were turned off the first game, the second could be worse for you so better to see if you can enjoy the first one and then play the second.

Rock two mages or one Mage and a ranger and it's easy sailing to the end of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOS1 gives you a lot of freedom to make an awful party or even character in general, and it's unforgiving if you do. DOS2 seems a bit more forgiving in this regard.

I created a poor character when I first played DOS1. Then I re-started the game, put more thought into it, and got a bit further... until I hit another wall because my character was less poor, but still poor. I was done after that. I actually have DOS2 but haven't started it yet. I hear this one is a little bit better balanced. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legend Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Is it insulting to Obsidian that Larian is doing this? Pillars is easily the most Baldur's Gate like of the recent RPGs, by design. On the other hand, maybe it would feel weird for them to dip back into that when they're basically already doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I don't think it's insulting to Obsidian at all. It wouldn't surprise me if Obsidian really didn't necessarily have an interests in working on BGIII considering that (as you correctly pointed out) they have already developed a pair of Baldur's Gate spiritual successors within a few years of each other. I imagine that they'd want a nice long break from developing that type of RPG. It's definitely more of a testament to what Larian has done with the two Original Sin titles and their unquestionably high level of quality that gave Wizards of the Coast the confidence to entrust them with the Baldur's Gate license. And I expect that Larian has developed a comfortable relationship with Wizards of the Coast already: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted June 1, 2019 Author Share Posted June 1, 2019 Just to give further evidence that this game will be Baldur's Gate III, the next major tabletop D&D campaign is Descent Into Avernus which takes place in Baldur's Gate.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 Baldur's Gate 3 will combine the best of Divinity and D&D 5th Edition (PC Gamer) Quote With over 20 years of D&D-adjacent RPGs behind it, from Divine Divinity to Divinity: Original Sin 2, Larian's hardly a wildcard choice, but when CEO Swen Vincke first approached Wizards of the Coast, he didn't get very far. Wizards called the studio "a bit too green" when Vincke tried to convince the publisher during the development of the first Original Sin. It was Wizards that got in touch with Larian, however, once Original Sin 2 was in the works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
