Some of the music in DOS is a remix of the original Divine Divinity.

That is good, because Divine Divinity had fantastic atmospheric music.

I made it to the forest, finally, and was greeted by another song from Divine Divinity.

Nicely done Blastman. I like that section of the game. Good fights, good quests. By this stage your characters have rounded in to shape with lots of skills and abilities. I liked this section more than Cyseal for sure.

I won't be updating on my DOS 1 progress. My situation has changed; and, I don't have dozen's of spare hours a week to "binge game" -- until Winter.

I was looking forward to Baldur's Gate 3 (by the DOS1,2 studio) -- not knowing it was only a very early (virtually premature) Pre-release with no chance of a near term full game. The finished game is not due until Fall/Winter 2021.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla may be good. But, so far, the "story" seems more strategy/shooter empire building game than my idea of an RPG (Assassin's Creed Odyssey was excellent to my gaming tastes). I'll reconsider ACV when the reviews arrive.

Larian's Baldur's Gate 3 is out in EA. The early returns look very promising indeed. I am so tempted to give it a go, but that runs counter to my modus operandi. I must resist, so that when I finally do play it I get the full experience. Some feel it's too much Divinity, not enough 'darkness', and if you've played DOS and BG you'll probably know what I mean. Still, I couldn't care less if it's not a BG clone. I fully trust Larian to give us a worthy game. And if you look at any of the trailers you'll probably feel the same.





While that's cinematic and not gameplay, come on, that looks fantastic

I've been waiting three years to make this post. BG3 is out.

I'm not quite ready to give it a go, other irons in the fire at the mo. But if anyone gets it please post your impressions. I have faith Larian have delivered, but let's see about that.

Yeah I have my beady on it, but I'll probably leave it 6 months for the mass testing effect to deal with the major but somehow-not-found bugs etc. There's also the possibility that I'll just read something super interesting that will make me break that idea, I'm sometimes quite impulsive like that

The early comments on Steam are very good. I will pick this one up for sure. DOS/2 are the best iso RPGs I've played. I expect BG3 to give them a run for their money.
