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.)

In this run of Everything is Crab, I treated antlers as my #FavoriteEvolution and played as a creature that was even bigger than some of the bosses!

(I was also my own main predator)

Here's an updated look at my Codex in Everything is Crab! As you can see, Reach continues to be my #FavoriteEvolution.

It's a bit of a cheat, but my favorite world to step into in games is the Star Wars galaxy. #GJAsks

We have a question and we wanna know: What's your favorite multiplayer game? Complete the quest and you'll get Coins!

In my latest run of Everything is Crab my #FavoriteEvolution was everything related to reducing size and upping poison damage.

Can we get a Killer Instinct movie next please???

For this week’s #FanArtFriday I drew Scorpion!

I have my own idea about what my #FavoriteEvolution is in Everything is Crab, but the game says my favorite is Reach!

I love Subnautica!! I don't think Ruby does however! Hahaha! He timed that so well! This also goes well with GJAsk because Subnautica is my all time favourite world and game.

I completed Pressure 13 with my #FavoriteEvolution being Long Beak!
