#dos2 stuff

[dorianpavus]

help friends i'm choosing my dos2 romance at long last. no spoilers but should it be

#i'm leaning NOT lohse even tho i love her cause i'm probs bringing her with me again next playthrough #but also????? i don't know 😭😭😭 #'i love video games with romance :)' i say like it doesn't cause me AGONY to choose #dos2 stuff #i literally put the game down for like a month cause i couldn't decide 🙈 #oh i just realized i can't see the answers until the time's up huh 😔

Boy did this one go downhill fast...

#what didn't help was that the guy we were rescuing was trying to die so fucking hard the whole time #istg I had to spend someone's actions once a round healing that guy #only to have him immediately set himself on fire again #also i realize the little blob guys didn't really have faces #but the style I'm using for these comics is so simple #I couldn't figure out how to make them recognizably monsters and not just like weird rocks or piles of stuff #so they got these stupid little faces #dos2 #divinity #divinity original sin 2 #sebille #lohse #blackpits #comics

Didn’t expect to finish DOS2 today, but I did and now feel utterly emotionally drained…

Wanted to finally share with you my Sebille from my last year’s drafts

huh I sure do plan to play a lot of casters for someone who is using a fraction of available spells ^_^; 

#anya plays bg3 #listen my only combat strategy is #hitting my enemies with beeg numbers #until all their numbers are zero #but #i'm eager to learn more funny spells combinations #dos2 had some stuff that really liked #i also still remember fondly dao magic system #entropy + spirit combo was my bread and butter

That moment you go from knowing almost nothing about Baldur’s Gate 3 to almost everything bc they finally confirmed the Dragonborn race

#and ofc all the other stuff looks really good #I know a lot of people were excited for the Minthara romance #which; mood #but I probably was most looking forward to Dragonborn lmao #really bummed about it only being on PC and PS5 #it makes sense but also #don’t wanna buy a whole other console #hoping it gets a switch or XB1 port like DOS2 did #baldur’s gate 3

I messed around with Clip Studio 3D models, creating models for Arboren and Loke because I could not get a sense on the height difference since Arboren has that tall lanky elvish figure and oh boy I wasn't even close haha

Have you ever played Divinity: Original Sin 2? (It's on sale rn) And if yes, what's it like? One of my friends says it's basically the same as Baldur's Gate 3 (+ same developer). :)

omg yes!!!! i LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE dos2 (actually i'm still playing it for the first time lmao but i'm already over 100 hours in it). it's an incredible game for many reasons, and many of the things i love about bg3 are just as celebrated in dos2.

like... there's so much depth to the world. if there's an npc, you can talk to them, they're not there just to be a faceless body in a crowd. and they won't just say, like "hi there" or "move along" or something, they'll actually have something interesting to say, or are tied to a quest. they matter. they bring life to the world. there's nothing that's put into the world that doesn't have a purpose. exploration is heavily rewarded, and just like in bg3, there's little secrets tucked away if you look carefully.

combat is definitely harder than i'm used to video games being (on their equivalent of normal difficulty). especially when i first started and was figuring out the mechanics, which luckily aren't too different from bg3 (as i was playing it became very obvious to me that they were the perfect studio to take on baldur's gate haha). the number of times i accidentally killed a companion by healing an undead or someone with the decay status... 😭 i've tpk'd multiple times and have had to reload. which i NEVER have to do when i play games on normal lol.

that said, it's SUPER SUPER FUN. tons of different ways you can build out characters, and the plot does have some early game similarities to bg3 lol. and just like bg3, you can mercifully save during combat. i'd say the biggest difference to bg3 is that the companions have less to say and feel less present. they're still there, and they have personal quests, but companions in bg3 feel like a much more vibrant and vital part of the game and world. that doesn't mean that the companions aren't still fun, though!

tl;dr bg3 basically takes what dos2 does and does it bigger, with more adherence to 5e dnd rules. so if you enjoy bg3, ABSOLUTELY give dos2 a go!!!! i hope you have fun!!! 😊💖💖💖

#i've been gushing about it to my friends actually and it's a very good way to tie over being so excited for bg3 to release lol #bg3 stuff #dos2 stuff #anonymous #asks

i just finished dos2 and it was such an excellent game but what the hell was the red prince's epilogue scene??

he had so much character growth at the end, going so far as to give up what arguably was his birthright to be a god amongst men (aka lizards) and ruling to mc and trusting them as the new divine

then he turns around and says lol be my slave like what the hell?? where was the character progression?? the romantic acknowledgement that he literally tells mc he loves them?? what was that??

#it felt like the ending was written by a completely different person who 1.) did not like the red prince 2.) did not understand his #character at all #OF COURSE he will always have a degree of arrogance that's just who he is but he's grown so much as a person and father like ???? #i'm just so let down by that the rest of the game was truly fantastic but the endings made me so sad #they either felt lackluster or just like. we had these life changing adventures together now bye forever #which i guess is how it is sometimes but it made me so sad #also the game kept bugging out & flagging as if id slept w sebille (which i hadnt) & not counting all the romance #stuff i did w ifan prior to the night on lady vengeance w the red prince #so that also sucked bc it was never acknowledged after #also why make the red prince a romance option if he's not even going to have a proper route???? i have so many more thoughts on this but #tw slavery #slavery mention #dos2 #dos 2 #dos2 spoilers #dos 2 spoilers #divinity original sin 2 #divinity: original sin 2 #the red prince #dos2 the red prince #dos 2 the red prince #the red prince x godwoken #the red prince romance #slavery tw

i've been thoroughly enjoying my time with Divinity Original Sin: Enhanced Edition (all its rampant misogyny and mediocre writing aside) so i decided to check out the manual for Divinity Original Sin 2 to see what i have to look forward to and jesus fucking christ, we have lost SO MUCH in the art of the game manual, because why is this manual like completely fucking empty. like there's a sweet foreward about the development and about the Kickstarter backers and stuff and there's a safety warning and some basic information about like two new things that weren't in the first game, which ARE cool to be very clear, and then just an image of the default controls. that's it. nothing fucking else. we have lost so much. bring back proper game manuals, what is even supposed to be the fucking purpose of them if you're not even gonna bother making them interesting, like i know maybe it's not cost-effective to put in as much effort as older games bc people don't check out the manuals as much in the digital gaming age but you could try to do at least a little more than just pasting the most basic information in there like some fucking tips, some hints about what works or whatever, or like what you recommend starting with, or like at least some fucking flavor or personality please, dear god, bring back proper game manuals!

#james talks #divinity original sin: enhanced edition #dos:ee #divinity original sin #gaming #james plays stuff #like actually i'm so serious i need game manuals to come back so bad. #like even the manual for this first game is so much fucking better!!! #it's not like i'm asking them to get new skills! they already made a pretty good one for THIS game! #it's not great but it's so much better than the one for DOS2

I have no desire to get you in trouble but I would be curious to hear your thoughts on the new episode and the preview because I also have.. thoughts and I'm interested in what other people clocked as not great or kinda.. idk. other people's concerns, because I have had a lot of them and I never see people really talk about those things

they're doing a new format this season where they film a bunch of rp episodes in a row then take a break when there's a battle so the crew can get the battleset ready, so I understand the dissonance. but the tone of this episode from the tone of last episode was SO jarring. I was ready to chew drywall at the end of episode 17 but we head into the episode 18 fight and at the end all I can say is... damn! that sure is a battle that happened. the entire fight felt really low-stakes even though objectively a few of the bad kids were in mortal danger, but the mood at the table was so relaxed and chill and there was almost no roleplay at all... which drove me so crazy

>no rp except for fun silly party stuff (no callbacks to the adaine elven oracle in a storm thing? after all the fun setup last time??)

>fought 8 different antagonists and none of them said a word

>nobody questioned why or what oisin's grandma or all those dragon were doing there they just started taking them out one by one like raid battles in world of warcraft

>cassandra/nightmare king showed up only to not make any impact or get a single word in

>dos2 lady vengeance fight did the floating boat/ballistas/dragon fight better SMH

and then after all of that we're headed straight into ANOTHER battle episode judging by the preview... and it's against the rat grinders and porter/jace! let me out I want PLOT & DIALOGUE fhjy cannot end like this (5 hours straight of battle where they just kill everyone that moves). there's 2 eps left so I really hope they do the last ep as a 4 hour long roleplay only epilogue episode because as we've all seen ending campaigns on a battle leads to frankly really rushed character and world decisions. it's ultra disappointing too because I loved this entire season so much so far. the setup and buildup and plot points and mystery of fhjy is the best they've ever done it in dimension 20 period

ep 18 fhjy battle was a letdown to me... not giving the party an rp episode after 3 hours of loredump + going straight into a final battle without being able to interact with the world after gaining info is bad. they should've had a chance to process everything they learned about house sunstone, porter's plan, the rat grinders being used as ascension fodder, whatever the whole deal behind ambrosia and lucy frostkettle and why they needed a helios cleric in buddy IN ROLEPLAY. I don't want all this stuff explained to me after the battle by brennan or in some throwaway lines in the adventuring party - I want the bad kids to talk to people! I want them to investigate! I want fig to pull some BS with porter knowing the full extent of all his plans. it really sucks for us as an audience too to be hit with all this lore and get approximately 0 time for it to sink into the implications of how the worldbuilding was shaped by it or realizations of "ohhh that's why that happened at the beginning of the season" before we go straight into killing everyone.

with the way this is going I don't have any confidence they're gonna be able to actually empathize at all with the rat grinders too before they start lopping heads off because in battle episodes everyone kind of just. becomes numbers and an objective to take out except for pet favourite npcs of the cast. and they've mostly been interacting with the rat grinders as nuisances all season 😭 I'm PRAYING to be proven wrong and the last 2 episodes of this are fantastic but it's not looking good folks
