You could be so creative in how you played Original Sin by using items in the environment, or find ways to totally break the game, like using a super-heavy barrel to crush enemies. How Larian is keeping Baldur's Gate 3 weirdĮven if it's not exactly in the spirit of old Baldur's Gate, I'm so happy to see the major systems from Divinity, specifically around manipulating items, carry over. What were some of the highlights for you? The dice rolls felt appropriately D&D and ruined a few well-laid plans with critical misses.
You could definitely miss attacks in Divinity, for example, but it seemed to happen a lot more in BG3. He actually played quite well in mine, but some entertaining screw-ups called for improvising. We each saw the same two hours or so of the game played by Larian head Swen Vincke, but I think our demos played out really differently. Wes: One thing that was definitely exactly the same as Divinity: Combat can go disastrously wrong for you in hilarious ways. Larian’s clearly full of D&D nerds and at no point in the demo did it seem like less than an authentic adaptation of the tabletop game, but for anyone looking for something that’s exactly like Black Isle’s Infinity Engine games, they’re not going to find that here. It definitely does feel a lot more like Original Sin 2 than Baldur’s Gate 2, but it doesn’t appear to have lost anything. But do you think it's too Divinity, at the expense of not looking or feeling enough like Baldur's Gate 2?įraser: Since Divinity already has its roots in D&D, like so much western fantasy, I think Baldur’s Gate 3 can afford to evoke Larian’s previous games. So I'm not disappointed to see that Baldur's Gate 3 is very much built on the foundation of that game.
Wes: Divinity: Original Sin 2 was PC Gamer's Game of the Year in 2017, and it was definitely my favorite game that year, too. Here's what stood out from a solid four hours of Baldur's Gate 3. You can read a full account of the demo in Fraser's preview here, but there was more for us to talk about.
