Bought DOS2 because I finished bg3 and is going through withdrawal
Also highly recommend the Pillars of Eternity series! I LOVE Deadfire. Who doesn’t want to have their own pirate ship?
Wow that also looks really fun! Looks like it will run on my potato-pc also. Thanks for the rec!
Dunno if it's on sale, but Solasta Crown of the Magister is a great dnd game made by a small studio. It's much shorter, but imo the general mechanics are really good and the use of height in combat is better than in bg3.
Also not to mention workshop support! There're a few campaigns that come with the game already, but people can make their own and add them through the steam workshop
It is! 7€ on steam now. I have never heard of this one but it looks awesome. Into the cart it goes. Thanks for the rec!
Edit: 9€ not 7
That looks okay. What's with all the DLC?
As they are a small studio, they did not have the money to buy all dnd licensed content upfront (Wizard if the Coast makes it quite expensive). When the game was a success, they added dlcs for additional races/classes they could now afford.
Lost Valley and Palace of Ice add new campaigns (they are ok but I enjoyed the base campaign more).
If having all the races and classes from official dnd content matters to you, I would recommend the Unfinished Business mod (you can find it on nexusmods). Personnally I played the first campaign with the limited options from the base game and I still had a real blast :)
Thanks, I don't really have any attachment to the DnD brand so doesn't bother me. Will go for the base game.
I hope you'll have fun :)
Maybe an unpopular opinion but I liked DOS2 more than BG3. Not to say I don't love BG3, but I love DOS2
I've read this opinion a few times actually which is great news for me. Bg3 was the game that pulled me back from a long hiatus from gaming and after finishing it I was kinda lost about what to play next. Lookin forward to playing it.
I have a feeling you’ll really enjoy it! DOS1 is also awesome but rough around the edges in comparison. The story is super whimsical though. I really loved the story in dos 1 lol
Ah thanks for the recommendation! Due to kids and life in general I am about 7-8 years behind when it comes to gaming. It's nice being able to get back to playing every now and then. Also, no need to get latest and pay full price which is also nice.
If only for the soundtrack, it's worth playing once, at least. It's so haunting and beautiful. The first time I played DOS1, I knew I would love it the moment I heard the music at startup. RIP Kirill, his music was so beautiful. Also nice they put his music on the piano in a certain evil dude's house in DOS2!
Maybe I should replay it again. Just like OP I'm having a bit of a BG3 withdrawal issue.
Whilst we're recommending... >:3 points at Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, grins :D
Character creation is the first boss 😅 Took me... many hours to beat that one. Good luck! :D
Haven't bought anything yet, but this one is in my cart!
