Anyone comment on the general writing style? I didn't gel with the Divinity games. Loved the gameplay systems but found that the tone of the writing stopped me from getting sucked into the world unlike the original BG games.
I think the writing is overall better than it was in Divinity Original Sin 2. The world is darker and more sinister. There is also a deeper emphasis on what your character is thinking, with a narrator describing things more regularly to you.
That being said this is unmistakably a Larian game. I’d suggest watching some gameplay online to see if it’s for you.
Seriously? I found DoS2 to be pretty grim overall.
That's great to read. I really like DOS2, but the dialogue tends to be a bit too nudge-nudge-wink-winky sometimes.
Yeah, that game was being silly at the beginning, but it got much darker very quickly. Some quibs here and there, and I got a lot of laughs, but that game wasn't all that funny overall.
