    I’m very excited as I’ve only recently discovered how fun CRPGs are. In preparation I’ve started playing through Divinity Original Sins II and am up to Act 2 so far.

    The scene from the Livestream with the vampire and druid bear was so out there I can’t wait to see what other crazy/interesting things are in the final game.

      I’ve also been rekindling my love for CRPGs by playing through D:OS2. I first played it a couple years ago, but got distracted part way through. Going back instantly hooked me again. Can’t wait for BG3.

      It’s absolutely nothing like most CRPGS but play Disco Elysium if you get the opportunity. I’ve dabbled in plenty of CRPGS in my time but this one was a masterpiece and revitalised my love fo rthe genre.

      Owlcat’s works are also worth looking into. They are amongst the most honest adaptation of ttrpg system to a computer game. Bonus if you prefer Pathfinder to DnD. I am salivating over the 40k Rogue Trader they are making.

        Have you tried the Rogue Trader playtest? I put in about 10 hours, which doesn’t cover all the content at all, and I really enjoyed it. The combat was a bit hit and miss for me, but the story and the characters were the real standout.
