I didn't even know who Larian was before BG3 blew up lol, I can't get into isometric either nor turn-based combat, I'm mainly a MMORPG player, but when I saw reviews for this game and AAA devs shitting on it I decided to buy it and give it an honest try.

I fell in love with it immediately, still struggling a bit with mechanics but I'm learning :D

You might like Divinity 2: OS even more than DnD based combat, which is a bit...crunchy around the edges.

Playing BG3 has definitely made me curious about their other games and I’ll have to give them a shot
