I've been playing Divinity: Original Sin 2 after beating Baldur's Gate 3!

It's been cool getting to go backwards through a developer's catalogue because you see all the little ways they refined their work over time.

For example, one thing that jumps out at me is how they present dialogue in BG3 vs DOS2:

When you talk to a character in Baldur's Gate 3, the camera shifts to a more cinematic angle that's closer to eye level. It also cinematically cuts between all of the people talking. This really helps reduce the distance the player feels from the characters in these key plot moments.

By contrast, in Divinity 2 the camera remains more distant from the characters even in dialogue. It works perfectly well, but after having played BG3 I can't help but feel a bit more removed from these characters. I'm curious to see how that will change as I put more hours into the game.

Another adjustment point (that's been fun) is having to get my head around Larian's original combat system as opposed to D&D's system (which I already knew from tabletop D&D before I booted up Baldur's Gate 3 for the first time.)

You know #MyBandit's gotta be wearing the Game Jolt gear!

I really enjoyed the demo of #AetherAndIron!

I customized my car to look like an N1 Starfighter and the yellow car from George Lucas' American Graffiti.

heck yeah, bro I mastered the Gains Jolt pack!

We have a question and we wanna know: Do you prefer console or PC? Complete the quest and you'll get Coins!

One of the striking pieces of worldbuilding in Aether & Iron is how the floating NYC rests on the backs of an exploited and stigmatized underclass of “Aether Rats.”

I drew Lexi and Maria w/ swirling halftone eyes to evoke their gifts.

Bro was really gunning for me, but I managed to get the last gem for our team... While I was dying??? Hey, I'll take it.

Also, this was my first online match, and my first online win! (My team carried me. )

I like Commando Garen because he reminds me of an Unreal Tournament character
