“Reading the reddit threads, I would like to clear up something,” Vincke said. “WOTC is not to blame for us taking a different direction. On the contrary, they really did their best and have been a great licensor for us, letting us do our thing. This is because it's what's best for Larian.”

I don't think I was clear enough. I think DOSII was better mechanically, not from a story/quest/graphics perspective. I'm not saying BGIII was bad in any way, it's an amazing game, and it's very clear that a lot of love was put into it from everyone that contributed, but I overall feel like D:OS II had the better game mechanics. I liked the action point system for moving and attacking, I liked that you could save up action points to unleash more on later turns. I don't care too much for the behind-the-scenes dice rolls - though the big roll X to pass check is quite fun.

The voice cast also did such an amazing job. I've been playing Warframe a lot lately, and it's really fun to hear Astarion as a fish.
