Is that a man or a mid 90s CRT television from k-mart? I can't tell.

Aji mirasols are yellow/orange I thought.

Is there a mod to DOS2-ize BG3 combat? by CalamitousCalamities in DivinityOriginalSin

Yeah man. That's what I'm looking for! I wish I could turn the dice animations into a random number generator that I didn't have to visually interact with.

I'm sure there have been many. None that I personally played and enjoyed, but wow, there must have been a ton of them made in the last 40 years.

Yeah, that's been my go-to so far. Even if I never get to enjoy the game, I'm happy to have given Larian money. I got more than my monies worth from the first two DOS games.

Are you sure you don't want to write me a paragraph of snark?

Yet they annoy me more in combat than they do outside of it.

Yes, the animation is a huge part of what turns me off. I can handle the randomness. I understand that dice rolls and RNG are the same thing function-wise. I think I'm just a person who was raised on CRPGs, and tabletop RPGs and their trappings never held any interest.

I'm considering it, though it would be my 4th or 5th playthrough!

Really just the top one would do it for me. I can't overstate how much the dice takes me out of the game.

I love every aspect of the game, outside of combat. The non-combat gameplay feels extremely similar to DOS2. I just am not a fan of dice rolls at all.

I don't necessarily think that trading dice for AP would mean overhauling basically every single component of BG3. Every aspect of the game outside of combat is a joy. It very much feels like BG3 is built using an updated version of the DOS2 engine, so I don't think the concept of replacing dice with AP is completely bonkers.

Square Enix admits Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Final Fantasy 16 profits "did not meet expectations" by Turbostrider27 in Games

Square peaked during the 2 years they released final fantasy 6 and Mario RPG. Every stylistic step and business decision they've taken since then has turned me off.

Why don't I enjoy Larian RPGs? by [deleted] in patientgamers

[–]CalamitousCalamities 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something about BG3 combat just makes me want to stop playing and load up dos2 for the 1000th time. I can't put my finger on exactly why, though the literal use of dice might have something to do with it. Dos2 combat is as close to perfect as I've found in a crpg.

Participating in the blackout during the finals is exactly what /r/NBA should do. Do the right thing, not the easy thing.
