Games

The donate button is buying the game and their previous titles.

The digital deluxe upgrade is basically that. You get some bonus stuff like extra bard songs, some cosmetics I think and the official Soundtrack. Stuff like that.

You could always buy a second copy to gift to a friend. Then you'd be able to play together on top of giving them another sale!

Buy the DRM free version on GOG if you haven’t already.

You could request they offer something small…maybe cosmetic…within the game that you could buy to support them.

I can also mention that it works flawlessly on Linux even with the GoG version (still through proton). It's uncommon for such games to be on GoG day one, and I wouldn't have bought it otherwise.

It's super fuckin good. If you liked dos2, it's basically that but with more immersive conversations, more potential dialogue trees, more DnD like, and more titties and dongs.

What are you even talking about

Yes

Nope, I'm playing DOS2, since that's been sitting in my steam library for way too long!

THEN maybe I'll BG3. If my laptop can handle it...

Me too, but only because I'm waiting for the PS5 version.

It’s heavy on the D&D 5e rulebook, if you have any level of familiarity with that it will all come naturally.

If you don’t, that’s ok too, they did a really good job describing rolls, saving throws, attack rolls, etc, in the guided tooltips.

You can do what I did: turn down the difficulty until you get the hang of it. It's adjustable during the game, so you can crank it back up later.

Being familiar with dnd 5e will give you a head start in the basics. Things like how ability scores and combat/social interactions can play out. But not necessary. They've changed quite a few minor things that deviate from the tabletop game that I've found myself having to actually unlearn dnd.

Monks are actually useable. Went with a 4 elements subclass. So I have a mix of spell-like abilities for range, and can still smack things with my staff and fist.

The main thing is, being aware of the micromanaging you'll have to do in combat. Don't be afraid to use consumables. And explore! I'm still only in act 1.( I've had pre release for over a year, so I'm taking it slow to see what changes are in the actual release).

Plus Goblin and Ogre sex. THAT was an eye opener.

Me and 3 friends have had a lot of fun with Divinity Original Sin 2 multiplayer. There's usually a lot of shenanigans and fun happenings as a direct effect of having several players bringing their own style to the game.

Just be advised that the experience will not be the same as playing single player. From what I understand the multiplayer experience in BG3 is much improved but I found that when playing with friends in DOS2 that I could not for instance take the time to dive in deep with conversations, quests, lore etc as I would like.

There is also a current issue in that if someone joins your game with a custom character, that character will from then on be a permanent member of the party. You cannot at the moment get rid of them in any way.

Bottom line it is fun, but you should treat it as a separate thing from single player - and definately have a dedicated playthrough for multiplayer.

Looking up similar questions for DOS2 might help. Different combat base system, but the multiplayer implementation seems to be your main concern.

I'd say under 20%.

I play this game duo with a friend (where, like for d&d - it's hard to match schedules) and solo with 2 characters (and a third to follow after). I obviously like playing it with my friend, but tbh I think I like playing it solo just as much, or more. Both my solo campaigns and my duo one are pretty much in sync, but in my solo stuff I get to do what I want, with no consequences. Imagine if your d&d table is good-aligned, but after the session you get to go home and play the same session again, with your chaotic party, who doesn't take shit from town guards or uppity priests, who intimidates instead of persuading, who loots the dead king's body instead of saving him. So yeah, you can have both types of fun :)

I spent some time playing 4p at the weekend. Personally, I loved it. It definitely had the feel of a ttrpg session. Your experience will completely come down to who you are playing with

Mate, as soon as you get your shitty ADHD-OCD brain into it then you'll be hooked. There's plenty to keep you busy.
