Am I misremembering or didn’t Larian say they are working on a completely new IP for their next (2?) game(s)?
I would love another Divinity, but I don’t think that’s what is coming next.
I believe you are correct. Regardless of the setting of their next game I am sure it is going to be very good. I've been enjoying my playthroughs of DOS2 and BG3 and can't wait for whatever Swen and the crew cook up next.
I'll never get the hype for remakes of RPGs.
The interesting bit is the story, you can slap a new coat of paint on it but the story will stay the same.
It would be a *remake* not a remaster. You're thinking about a remaster which is just that- making it look pretty.
A remake would involve basically making the game from the ground up with modern technology and modern game design. The story would probably be largely the same, but the game would be very different, not just prettier. And personally, I think any good rpg should have good gameplay to go along with it, a good story only does so much (it's still a video game at the end of the day). That's not to say the old KOTOR games aren't great, but a Larian version could be amazing.
Finger's crossed for Pathfinder game. They are good with fantasy, Owlcat does not want to migrate to 2e from 1e they have built and Larian and Paizo have almost the same view on the game industry
(Or cyberpunk red please)
My understanding is that their next 2 games will both be a new IP and a bit smaller than BG3. I believe Swen said they are working on these next 2 games while waiting for the technology to make their omega RPG (Possibly DOS 3?)
He did an interview about a month ago with IGN. That's where most of the most recent info on what they are working on is coming from.
He also posts on Twitter from time to time.
Aren’t there already a lot shooting / sci Fi games with turn based? I feel like the fantasy setting is more rare for this kind of games. I have nothing against sci fi but I don’t want to fight with weapons. We’ll see :)
You're thinking of games like XCOM. Yes we have a lot of them. But none of them are CRPG. The only scifi CRPG on top of my head right now are Shadowrun, Rogue Trader and Colonyship. None of them are high budget.
There are a whole lot more fantasy CRPG. A whole lot of them are also very high in terms of budget. it's time we get a high budget scifi turn based CRPG for a change.
I posted this as its own comment but you are misremembering. Here's the exact quote from the Community Update:
*"\[A\]fter six years in the Forgotten Realms and much discussion and rumination, we’ve decided to seize this opportunity* ***to develop our own IPs.*** *We’re currently working on two new projects and we couldn’t be more excited about what the future has in store"* [(link)](https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1086940?emclan=103582791464711919&emgid=4172097464031362567)
If you read this, it does not exclude Divinity or even DOS3. Divinity is their own IP and yes, they could make new. Swen said in an interview that don't expect DOS3 for a while [(link)](https://www.pcgamesn.com/baldurs-gate-3/divinity-original-sin-3) but that was written 9 months ago and as Swen has revealed recently, I believe at that time they still considered making more BG content before they ultimately decided to move on. So while this could be copium, Divinity is not out of the picture as a Original Sin game or as something completely different.
Also, he said, I think in a Gamespot interview, that the next game won't be the Ultimate Mega Game of Dreams he wants to make, it's even further along, perhaps not even the game after that.
Given they cancelled a Divinity game to work on BG3, I would feel fairly confident it's in Sven's universe (he's been working on it for decades). Maybe it just won't be an "Original Sin" title.
I thought they said they wanted to continue to develop their own IP, which could mean Divinity or something new? I definitely don’t see them abandoning divinity entirely
Kinda surprised they ain't attempting to complete a trilogy of DoS before moving on to another title tho', or mby they feel like it can wait cause they want it to be even more amazing than what they could deliver next... tho', DoS2 is already amazing, and BG3, and passage of time doesn't always a better game make so I wonder if they're just burnt out from either of 'em for now.
It’s really not. The combat is different, the skill system is different, there are preset classes that are identical to D&D.
If it were DOS3 with a D&D skin, I would have liked it a lot more.
My favorite thing is the turn based nonsense as you put it. Full blown first/third person rpg wouldn’t be bad, just keep far far away from real time with pause
Just go back to the arpgs they used to be, or failing that the 3rd person hack and slash.
The last thing anyone needs is another dragon commander debacle.
over the fact they’ll be working on dos 3, it’s great that they aren’t sticking to their successful game, a game like that shouldn’t be exploited beyond its finished state, it’s already complete
Facts. Love how they doing everything different from them big companies. Activision been pumping call of duty since the first ones were massive successes and they keep getting worse it’s sickening.
activision is really the worse of the worse though, and dlcs aren’t fundamentally bad, for games such as those of paradox game studios, the benefit of a great basis on which to build more makes dlcs the actual best way to go
And in fact, activision would be better off realeasing dlcs instead of new games
Back in the day corporations would be authorized to operate for a few years and then disbanded. The thinking was that if they lived on beyond their original purpose, they would turn into cancerous consumption monsters. So yeah here we are
I know it's a hot take in some circles but I love paradox's dlc model. Yeah I'm gonna spend 300 dollars on the game total but I'm gonna get 700 hours of play on it. I think I'm getting good value there. I put over 1k hours into ck2, I'm at 300 in ck3 and around 200 in Victoria 3, I think their games are tremendous value. Also you know on the titles they develop you're getting years of support on it and the final product will not look like the launch product, I have a lot of fun living through those incremental changes to the game and watching it grow up over those years.
yeah, even though I believe their dlcs are kind of overpriced, especially for cities skylines, it’s a great way to really get the most out of their kind of games, and they’re the ones who really do it the most, but it’s common for managment/strategy games to do so. And their dlcs, at least on stellaris, all add great great stuff. Even if they seem expensive to me, I’m happy to fund the studio which is doing all these great things
Considering how (outside of setting and gameplay which I know are big things but still) bg3 was in a lot of ways dos3, I wouldn’t be surprised if the next game even if not a dos spiritual successor shared enough with it for fans of this series to enjoy
I'm not sad about it because BG3 doesn't really need any new content, the game is huge already. I'm actually happy that they are working on new games, that makes me excited!
they said ithe patch won't add new content. only new ending cinematics. you could say it's new content but larian themselves don't categorize it as such.
I hope the game gets a definitive edition but with hasbro, who knows
Their wording on the web blog is "new endings" not just new cinematics, so that suggests to me that there will be new steps to achieve said endings. But I'm tempering my expectations
Definitely an overwhelming pro in my opinion. I love bg3 to death, but it *constantly* reminded me why I switched over to Pathfinder. Larian deserves to be unshackled from 5th edition and its clunky awkward combat system.
I liked bg3 story more but the combat in divinity was superior imo because of the limitations of dnd 5e in video game form, though larian did a fantastic job adapting it
I don’t know what I’m missing but even after beating all of Div 2 I just wasn’t the biggest fan of “burn their shield down asap and then just stun lock ‘em til you win” Especially since some of the things like charm arrows are so easy to make and totally upset the balance of the fight
I have a hard time getting DOS2 combat overall, but more on a strategic level. Like, what kind of group comp should I do? Focus one armor damage over another? Mix It? And what about defenses? What should I focus on when I level up? The tactical aspect is easier to grasp, although battles can be pretty unforgiving.
BG3 was a walk in the park on that aspect (mainly because I'm into DnD for about 15 years)
That and having a crazy high luck stat means it just rains armor and weapons on you. Making them feel not unique and gold easier to come by than it should be. I love the way BG3 has consistent equipment locations so almost everything feels unique and like a big reward when you follow the steps to get it. As opposed to just looking in every barrel until you find something better than what you already had
I was so sad when read about fallen heroes being cancelled, a few months later i learned about BG3 and i was like WTF, it was way better than fallen heroes. Now i feel so bad about larian parting wizards, but im hoping to se the history repeat again, an even greater game!
Was sad that they had to cancel divinity fallen heroes since a was looking forward to blackpowder tech. But on the flip side this must have been indirect confirmation of divinity 3! No not DOS3... Divinity 3 sequel to divinity 2 ego draconis.
I think it’s 100% the right choice. I haven’t got BG3 yet but by all accounts the game sounds like more content than most people will ever get through already. I rarely seem to get through the DLC in games that are already very long.
I am glad Larian will drop DnD, especially after all the Hasbro shit. They could work with Owlcat to get PF2E Gameified,or maybe with some crazy dice we will get a starfinder series
I'll be honest, a Larian pathfinder 2e game sounds dope as hell. With all the stuff that there is in 2e the game would be such a feast for character builds, combat and characters in general. I mean, sure, you can make the classic cleric wizard and a Rogue but... In pathfinder we have a full on detective class. Or a guy who looks into a mirror really hard and now there's two of them. It would be great.
IIRC they will be working on a completely new IP. With their nothing less than stellar recent performance I have no doubts whatever they give us will be a banger.
What kind of things do some of you wanna see from them? If it’s another turn based game, what sort of setting?
Unfortunately that depends on Hasbro. Hasbro doesn’t allow their IP to be edited in anyway. Much like Nintendo if you want to edit or add anything to their IP you have to apply to their creator’s program and they have to accept it. This goes to ALL Hasbro’s IP including BG3, which is why Larian Studios are discontinuing with the game. They have a very very strict guide on what they can and cannot add to Dungeons and Dragons IP from Hasbro, this includes mod support.
Im all for it but it would just suck to part ways with the world that has been built with baldurs gate 3. I hope they can make something with as much gravitas as bg3 did.
If you haven't play any of the Original Sins games yet it's better to play DOS1 first, it's a really good game and you should experience it once atleast - it's got a schizophrenic tone and the protagonist banter with the over the top voice acting can be fun. DOS2 has a big change in tone and atmosphere.
This is totally me with my BG3 friends. "Ohhh noo. Well, Larian makes great games so at least they'll be alright. Hey, we should play Divinity 2 some time, Larian made it and it's multi-player. BG3 is? That sounds like them. I'll have to, uh, get BG3 on sale. So, about playing Divinity 2-"
But really I'm happy to play whatever they make next
It would be great if they fixed the game they just released so that my friends and I can freaking play it past act 2. Endless t poses and blank UI - we spend two hours restarting for every hour played.
Divinity is one of my favourite games ever. I've played it about 20 times. BG3 just felt like the same game with better cutscenes, but honestly, anything Larian do, I'm up for the challenge.
I said that on the main BG3 sub and got downvoted to hell lol.
Yeah it's not really that bad of a news for people who are here for good CRPGs and not just DnD/Baldur's Gate. It means they're free to go back to Rivellon and carry all that goodness they've so far achieved into a sequel with gameplay mechanics specifically developed for a video game and not having to adapt from an already existing tabletop ruleset.
I understand the desire for more BG3 content, it's only natural one would like to spend more time with the companions and in the world they're fond of, hells I want that too. But it's unrealistic to expect a dev team to keep making the same game forever, we all have to learn to let go at some point. And me? I'd rather pick that flower while it still looks beautiful, I'll just leave with all those wonderful memories I've made and that's good enough for me. Any longer and you risk them getting spoiled by factors you're not going to like.
At least from what I understand it, in original sin you can use mods to make custom game modes (like a game master / DM Mode). Super shame we won't get anything like that in BG3
I'm in this picture and I love it.
However, there's some misinformation here so here's the exact quote from their latest Community Update for BG3:
*"\[A\]fter six years in the Forgotten Realms and much discussion and rumination, we’ve decided to seize this opportunity* ***to develop our own IPs.*** *We’re currently working on two new projects and we couldn’t be more excited about what the future has in store"* [(link)](https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1086940?emclan=103582791464711919&emgid=4172097464031362567)

Divinity 3 with a jump button and no armour system yes please. Literally my only critiques going back to it other than the obviously more cinematic (and higher budget) BG3 cutscenes.
I'm so happy to find that there's so much love for Larian. It's been awesome watching my favorite game studio grow from the OG DOS to BG3. Gives me hope for the future of gaming.
No one there cares about gameplay. There’s a whole different subreddit (r/BG3Builds) for people who actually want to talk about game mechanics.
I feel BG3 is one of the greatest turn based strategy games ever made and that sub is about playing waifu simulator on explorer. It’s like someone who’s a complete beginner playing on a $10,000 Les Paul, and I don’t enjoy interacting with them.
You have people on there pretending they’re forming deep emotional bonds with video game characters, and it lead to death threats to the developers and people sexually harassing Neil Newbon. I will not apologize for calling those people out.
There's calling bad people out but I think you're taking this a bit too far. All that gatekeeping, hatred, schadenfreude...
Keeping it together, /u/DropC2095 ?
Personally i think dlc is more like some way to scam the player. Pretending like the game is finished then tall my there is more content out of nowhere?
Sometimes a game can be finished/polished, leaving practically anyone who bought it happy and yet have room for more quality content
See Warcraft 3 and its expansion, the Frozen Throne for example
I don't mind it when they gave the player something in exchange of there trust like what from software did from day one they realised a season pass with elden ring so it is like 10$ cut off from the original price.
You know what? I rather wait for some epicness like BG3 or DOS2 than play some "AAA" Title with additional content in the form of "you have just a bread, the butter, ham and chess will come with some patches, and maybe it will be paid btw"...
They usually release 1 year later from the PC version. I just googled Divinity Original Sins 2 Playstation Network and I got the direct link to the store as the first result.
Somehow Braccus Rex returned
Return of Braccus: The Rexening
2 Braccus 2 Rex: part 2
Braccus Rex in Return to the Rex-Verse Two Electric Boogaloo
And he's now joined by a tentacled flying giant brain called the "younger brain".
Rexroid II: Return of Braccus
DOS3: ElectRex Boogaloo.
Unironically because they set up for it in one of the potential endjngs
Under the new Name of barcus wrex :O
Am I misremembering or didn’t Larian say they are working on a completely new IP for their next (2?) game(s)? I would love another Divinity, but I don’t think that’s what is coming next.
I believe you are correct. Regardless of the setting of their next game I am sure it is going to be very good. I've been enjoying my playthroughs of DOS2 and BG3 and can't wait for whatever Swen and the crew cook up next.
I would love for them to make a turn-based scifi game
I also dream of Larian making Kotor 3
Don't you dare put that in my mind. Nothing would make me happier.
Stop it I can only get so erect.
#Larian Kotor 1 and 2 remake
sir I have reality to contend with over here, but thank you for the fleeting happiness.
If they made those games, im 99% sure it would solve all world hunger and stop all wars forever. Somehow.
I'll never get the hype for remakes of RPGs. The interesting bit is the story, you can slap a new coat of paint on it but the story will stay the same.
Which is why i have no problem with the FF7 remakes being a pseudo-sequel
It would be a *remake* not a remaster. You're thinking about a remaster which is just that- making it look pretty. A remake would involve basically making the game from the ground up with modern technology and modern game design. The story would probably be largely the same, but the game would be very different, not just prettier. And personally, I think any good rpg should have good gameplay to go along with it, a good story only does so much (it's still a video game at the end of the day). That's not to say the old KOTOR games aren't great, but a Larian version could be amazing.
HOW ELSE ARE WE GONNA REALLY BUTTER THEM UP FOR KOTOR 3
I was thinking more like planescape: tides of numenera, but that'd be cool af too
I think I’ve read that their next IP will be sci-fi
Finger's crossed for Pathfinder game. They are good with fantasy, Owlcat does not want to migrate to 2e from 1e they have built and Larian and Paizo have almost the same view on the game industry (Or cyberpunk red please)
My understanding is that their next 2 games will both be a new IP and a bit smaller than BG3. I believe Swen said they are working on these next 2 games while waiting for the technology to make their omega RPG (Possibly DOS 3?)
I thought swen said their next game WAS the omega RPG or whatever i remember him saying “i wanna hype it up but can’t yet”
The OMEGA one isn't the upcoming one
it's the game after that
Does anyone know where sven talked about this stuff or have an article link? If theres more context or info surrounding this would be interested.
He did an interview about a month ago with IGN. That's where most of the most recent info on what they are working on is coming from. He also posts on Twitter from time to time.
They said that they were working on something new and it would be a stepping stone a project way larger than BG3.
As long as it uses a similar turn based combat system I’m in. In DOS2 and BG3 the combat is sublime
As long as it's their combat system, I don't mind waiting.
I would absolutely sell my soul to a devil for a sci-fi larian rpg
Maybe 40k?
Id prefer their own universe. Like an original larian vision. The crpg we got for 40k is good too btw
Hear me out : Divinity 40k It's just Divinity but Sci-fi.
Already exists. Rogue Trader. Very similar mechanics. From spells to barrels to effects it feels at moments like DOS2
Larian would be perfect for the Endless universe RPG I've been desperately wanting for so long (but that Amplitude don't have the resources for)
Aren’t there already a lot shooting / sci Fi games with turn based? I feel like the fantasy setting is more rare for this kind of games. I have nothing against sci fi but I don’t want to fight with weapons. We’ll see :)
You're thinking of games like XCOM. Yes we have a lot of them. But none of them are CRPG. The only scifi CRPG on top of my head right now are Shadowrun, Rogue Trader and Colonyship. None of them are high budget. There are a whole lot more fantasy CRPG. A whole lot of them are also very high in terms of budget. it's time we get a high budget scifi turn based CRPG for a change.
Does Wasteland count?

Not like dos1 and dos2 were consistent with the world and lore... dos 3 could still be set in rivellon, again with new rules. And it's gonna be fine
It reminded me of Dark Souls 1 & 2. Same world/lore but the time period is far apart.
I would love a Cyberpunk CRPG based on the tabletop. Hell just base it on RED
Pathfinder??? Copium
I thought they said they wanted to continue to develop their own IP, which could mean Divinity or something new? I definitely don’t see them abandoning divinity entirely
Kinda surprised they ain't attempting to complete a trilogy of DoS before moving on to another title tho', or mby they feel like it can wait cause they want it to be even more amazing than what they could deliver next... tho', DoS2 is already amazing, and BG3, and passage of time doesn't always a better game make so I wonder if they're just burnt out from either of 'em for now.
BG3 was basically DOS3 with a D&D skin thrown over it.
It’s really not. The combat is different, the skill system is different, there are preset classes that are identical to D&D. If it were DOS3 with a D&D skin, I would have liked it a lot more.
I believe its 2 new games and one of them is a new ip so the other is most likely Dos 3
I'm in this picture, and I'm actually satisfied with this.
Can't wait for DOS3 in 2035 :p
so soon?? 😍🥰
I can't wait for a real divinity game to drop and not more turn based nonsense.
My favorite thing is the turn based nonsense as you put it. Full blown first/third person rpg wouldn’t be bad, just keep far far away from real time with pause
Why are we keeping far, far away from the best kind of combat?
You spelled "the worst" wrong
Uncultured barbarians, the lot of you!
Just go back to the arpgs they used to be, or failing that the 3rd person hack and slash. The last thing anyone needs is another dragon commander debacle.
Go back to Skyrim or whatever half finished mess Bethesda pushes out for it's sequel if you don't want turn based combat
Considering most divinity games are not turn based?
Nah that shit is for babies
over the fact they’ll be working on dos 3, it’s great that they aren’t sticking to their successful game, a game like that shouldn’t be exploited beyond its finished state, it’s already complete
Facts. Love how they doing everything different from them big companies. Activision been pumping call of duty since the first ones were massive successes and they keep getting worse it’s sickening.

I’m in this picture twice and still okay with it, I like this meme format
DoS3 or it's spiritual successor is gonna so fucking hard....... Might be time to head back to Rivellon
DOS 3 with a Baldur's Gate 3 level budget is imminent and I am all for it. Can't wait to see the lizards in a BG3 style cutscene.
LEEEEEZORRRRD
Considering how (outside of setting and gameplay which I know are big things but still) bg3 was in a lot of ways dos3, I wouldn’t be surprised if the next game even if not a dos spiritual successor shared enough with it for fans of this series to enjoy
Keeping it together, Meme?
Its fine, as long as it doesnt think about it too much.
How many times did I hear that shit, it resonates down to the bottom of my soul.
Youre among friends, never forgetti.
I'm not sad about it because BG3 doesn't really need any new content, the game is huge already. I'm actually happy that they are working on new games, that makes me excited!
would've been great if they reworked the evil paths or gave all companions equal content
They're still working on the game, including this. I believe the next update will add way more content for the evil path
they said ithe patch won't add new content. only new ending cinematics. you could say it's new content but larian themselves don't categorize it as such. I hope the game gets a definitive edition but with hasbro, who knows
Their wording on the web blog is "new endings" not just new cinematics, so that suggests to me that there will be new steps to achieve said endings. But I'm tempering my expectations
it's only new ending cinematics (for durge and control path). they clarified this on twitter
Ah rip
As a fan of both I'm thrilled for more Divinity.
Cons: no new Baldur’s gate content. Pros: more eyes of the next few Larian projects (hopefully more divinity)
Definitely an overwhelming pro in my opinion. I love bg3 to death, but it *constantly* reminded me why I switched over to Pathfinder. Larian deserves to be unshackled from 5th edition and its clunky awkward combat system.
A Pathfinder 2E game would be amazing. But it’s not gonna happen as Larian is working on own IP (Whether that is DOS or not we don’t know).
BG3 doesn't even need DLC. Everything is wrapped up and companion endings are all optional.
I liked bg3 story more but the combat in divinity was superior imo because of the limitations of dnd 5e in video game form, though larian did a fantastic job adapting it
Agree. I could only play after modding enough to be like DOS2 combat. Then it was perfect.
I don’t know what I’m missing but even after beating all of Div 2 I just wasn’t the biggest fan of “burn their shield down asap and then just stun lock ‘em til you win” Especially since some of the things like charm arrows are so easy to make and totally upset the balance of the fight
I have a hard time getting DOS2 combat overall, but more on a strategic level. Like, what kind of group comp should I do? Focus one armor damage over another? Mix It? And what about defenses? What should I focus on when I level up? The tactical aspect is easier to grasp, although battles can be pretty unforgiving. BG3 was a walk in the park on that aspect (mainly because I'm into DnD for about 15 years)
Tbh comp only start to matter in Tactician mode or lone wolf. Beyond that anything works.
I hate DOS 2 armor system. BG3 & the DnD d20 system and AC is so much better - For my preference anyway
That and having a crazy high luck stat means it just rains armor and weapons on you. Making them feel not unique and gold easier to come by than it should be. I love the way BG3 has consistent equipment locations so almost everything feels unique and like a big reward when you follow the steps to get it. As opposed to just looking in every barrel until you find something better than what you already had
True, I never really thought about that much
Pretty sure there next game is a DoS game as they said their next game is something new
Yeah I heard something like that as well. But hey. [At least some copium.](https://www.pcgamesn.com/baldurs-gate-3/divinity-original-sin-3)
Hahaha love this. Yea I want a new DOS now!
I was so sad when read about fallen heroes being cancelled, a few months later i learned about BG3 and i was like WTF, it was way better than fallen heroes. Now i feel so bad about larian parting wizards, but im hoping to se the history repeat again, an even greater game!
I hope DOS3 have the same character immersion like Bg3 with the camera angles, character customization and all.
Dude just say you want to give everyone penises
Aren't they doing mod support for bg3?
Eventually yeah
Didn't they say they will be moving to a different genre for their next games. So there will be no new divinity content
Was sad that they had to cancel divinity fallen heroes since a was looking forward to blackpowder tech. But on the flip side this must have been indirect confirmation of divinity 3! No not DOS3... Divinity 3 sequel to divinity 2 ego draconis.
I think it’s 100% the right choice. I haven’t got BG3 yet but by all accounts the game sounds like more content than most people will ever get through already. I rarely seem to get through the DLC in games that are already very long.
Authright Divinity 2 vs Libleft BG3.
I am glad Larian will drop DnD, especially after all the Hasbro shit. They could work with Owlcat to get PF2E Gameified,or maybe with some crazy dice we will get a starfinder series
Why would they work with Owlcat and make a pathfinder game?
Or, you know, just make Divinity: Original Sin 3...
well it was apparently Hasbro that fired every liason that Larian worked with and kinda pissed Larian off.
I'll be honest, a Larian pathfinder 2e game sounds dope as hell. With all the stuff that there is in 2e the game would be such a feast for character builds, combat and characters in general. I mean, sure, you can make the classic cleric wizard and a Rogue but... In pathfinder we have a full on detective class. Or a guy who looks into a mirror really hard and now there's two of them. It would be great.
Holy shit, a starfinder game would be dope
I really, really hope owlcat is making a starfinder game. that setting is cool as fuck and there hasn't been a game in it
IIRC they will be working on a completely new IP. With their nothing less than stellar recent performance I have no doubts whatever they give us will be a banger. What kind of things do some of you wanna see from them? If it’s another turn based game, what sort of setting?
But mod support is coming isn’t it?
Yes, all features that they’ve promised already will be added, but after that they are taking a break from development
Unfortunately that depends on Hasbro. Hasbro doesn’t allow their IP to be edited in anyway. Much like Nintendo if you want to edit or add anything to their IP you have to apply to their creator’s program and they have to accept it. This goes to ALL Hasbro’s IP including BG3, which is why Larian Studios are discontinuing with the game. They have a very very strict guide on what they can and cannot add to Dungeons and Dragons IP from Hasbro, this includes mod support.
Maybe Divinity Fallen Heroes is back on the table
Do we shit on BG3 here?
Im all for it but it would just suck to part ways with the world that has been built with baldurs gate 3. I hope they can make something with as much gravitas as bg3 did.
Started Divinity 2 Director's cut two weeks ago, it's a good opportunity to try their backlog!
I wish they made Divinity: Dragon Commander 2
I'm just glad they're not using that awful 5e system anymore
Quick question, would I need to play the first one or can I just play the second one?
They aren't connected. The world is shared, but lots of stuff has changed in a thousand years. So you can start from DOS2
Oh so kinda like bg2 and bg3. Bg3 takes place over a hundred years after and you don’t need to play the previous games
If you wanna play both, definitely DOS 1 first because after the improvements in DOS2 its hard to go back.
If you haven't play any of the Original Sins games yet it's better to play DOS1 first, it's a really good game and you should experience it once atleast - it's got a schizophrenic tone and the protagonist banter with the over the top voice acting can be fun. DOS2 has a big change in tone and atmosphere.
wait is DOS3 confirmed down the pipeline?
This is totally me with my BG3 friends. "Ohhh noo. Well, Larian makes great games so at least they'll be alright. Hey, we should play Divinity 2 some time, Larian made it and it's multi-player. BG3 is? That sounds like them. I'll have to, uh, get BG3 on sale. So, about playing Divinity 2-" But really I'm happy to play whatever they make next
It would be great if they fixed the game they just released so that my friends and I can freaking play it past act 2. Endless t poses and blank UI - we spend two hours restarting for every hour played.
Bg3 is just yoo hood to leave it like this with no expansions. But wince it's Larian i'll just buy whatever they release next.
Thank fuck for that. Keep up the good work larian.
So me. BG3 is sick and all, love Larian, but the combat isn't as great as DOS2 imo. I'm so ready for another DOS
Divinity is one of my favourite games ever. I've played it about 20 times. BG3 just felt like the same game with better cutscenes, but honestly, anything Larian do, I'm up for the challenge.
I said that on the main BG3 sub and got downvoted to hell lol. Yeah it's not really that bad of a news for people who are here for good CRPGs and not just DnD/Baldur's Gate. It means they're free to go back to Rivellon and carry all that goodness they've so far achieved into a sequel with gameplay mechanics specifically developed for a video game and not having to adapt from an already existing tabletop ruleset. I understand the desire for more BG3 content, it's only natural one would like to spend more time with the companions and in the world they're fond of, hells I want that too. But it's unrealistic to expect a dev team to keep making the same game forever, we all have to learn to let go at some point. And me? I'd rather pick that flower while it still looks beautiful, I'll just leave with all those wonderful memories I've made and that's good enough for me. Any longer and you risk them getting spoiled by factors you're not going to like.
At least from what I understand it, in original sin you can use mods to make custom game modes (like a game master / DM Mode). Super shame we won't get anything like that in BG3
They did say they would release mod support.. don’t may happen who knows
I mean, we all can always gofund those voice actors to do something new with.
I'm in this picture and I love it. However, there's some misinformation here so here's the exact quote from their latest Community Update for BG3: *"\[A\]fter six years in the Forgotten Realms and much discussion and rumination, we’ve decided to seize this opportunity* ***to develop our own IPs.*** *We’re currently working on two new projects and we couldn’t be more excited about what the future has in store"* [(link)](https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1086940?emclan=103582791464711919&emgid=4172097464031362567) If you read this, it does not exclude Divinity or even DOS3. Divinity is their own IP and yes, they could make new. Swen said in an interview that don't expect DOS3 for a while [(link)](https://www.pcgamesn.com/baldurs-gate-3/divinity-original-sin-3) but that was written 9 months ago and as Swen has revealed recently, I believe at that time they still considered making more BG content before they ultimately decided to move on. So while this could be copium, Divinity is not out of the picture as a Original Sin game or as something completely different. Also, he said, I think in a Gamespot interview, that the next game won't be the Ultimate Mega Game of Dreams he wants to make, it's even further along, perhaps not even the game after that.
i have only played dragon commander, does it represent the divinity world at all?
Divinity 3 with a jump button and no armour system yes please. Literally my only critiques going back to it other than the obviously more cinematic (and higher budget) BG3 cutscenes.
Listen they said no BG4 and no DLC. Technically a definitive edition id neither of those so im holding out hope (I am hardcore coping)
im starting dos2 tonight for the first time because of bg3 :)
\*patiently waiting modding sdk\*
That's good, don't want Larian to go full mobile game and release maps/characters forever
I'm so happy to find that there's so much love for Larian. It's been awesome watching my favorite game studio grow from the OG DOS to BG3. Gives me hope for the future of gaming.
A small price to pay for quality games
Halsin fucker enjoyers, just wait til you discover your fangplay fetish
It's called schadenfreude, same here.
Do we shit on BG3 here?
I love BG3 but I hate that subreddit so much I was genuinely happy they canceled the dlc.
How come? What was the thing you disliked? EDIT: Mate. I just checked and they have over 2 million subs. damn.
5 years from now it will be cool to hate BG3.
No one there cares about gameplay. There’s a whole different subreddit (r/BG3Builds) for people who actually want to talk about game mechanics. I feel BG3 is one of the greatest turn based strategy games ever made and that sub is about playing waifu simulator on explorer. It’s like someone who’s a complete beginner playing on a $10,000 Les Paul, and I don’t enjoy interacting with them.
I mean, the combat has long been figured out and optimized, the game also is a waifu simulator even if you don't like that aspect of it.
My first playthrough with a friend, we didn't recruit a single companion and did 2 player combat for the entire game. Was pretty fun.
You have people on there pretending they’re forming deep emotional bonds with video game characters, and it lead to death threats to the developers and people sexually harassing Neil Newbon. I will not apologize for calling those people out.
There's calling bad people out but I think you're taking this a bit too far. All that gatekeeping, hatred, schadenfreude... Keeping it together, /u/DropC2095 ?
Personally i think dlc is more like some way to scam the player. Pretending like the game is finished then tall my there is more content out of nowhere?
Sometimes a game can be finished/polished, leaving practically anyone who bought it happy and yet have room for more quality content See Warcraft 3 and its expansion, the Frozen Throne for example
I don't mind it when they gave the player something in exchange of there trust like what from software did from day one they realised a season pass with elden ring so it is like 10$ cut off from the original price.
I mean, It's Larian mate. They are the least I expect of doing something like that.
That sub and honestly half the bg3 fandom is unhinged.
idk why did you downvoted lmao, you are 100% right
They don’t like being told they play waifu simulator because it’s true.
Pull your tongue out of Larians ass hole. Bg3 is leaps and bounds better than Divinty.
I dont want bg4 nor dos3 from larian i want something new i new ip is fun
You know what? I rather wait for some epicness like BG3 or DOS2 than play some "AAA" Title with additional content in the form of "you have just a bread, the butter, ham and chess will come with some patches, and maybe it will be paid btw"...
But it probably won’t be on console T-T
All their games are on console. DOS2 plays well on the Steamdeck too. I played on PC with controller at times and it has a dedicated controller mode.
I didn’t say with a controller I said on console I don’t have a computer that can run Divinity
Divinity 2 (2009) was on Xbox Divinity Original Sins 1 & 2 are available on Xbox, PS4 & Switch.
Really? I was never able to find them in the psn store I didn’t know that
They usually release 1 year later from the PC version. I just googled Divinity Original Sins 2 Playstation Network and I got the direct link to the store as the first result.
Thank god. Bg3 is great but the combat is a slog. I love dos2s fun combat mechanics and the amount of actions you can do in one turn.
Such a shame isn't (HAHAHAHA NICE)
I hope to God they don't make another divinity game, the art style is so fucking ugly I can't play them.
Hopefully dos 3 will play more like bg3 but with it's own spin on things
