Wednesday evenings, a friend and I enjoy a curry, some anime, and some co-op gaming. He very generously purchased two copies of Divinity Original Sin, and we started playing a week or so before I made this blog. Last night was play session number two.
I was just the right age, I think, when Baldur's Gate came out. I was 19, in my second year of uni, and had a lot of free time to sink into a game of that size. I'd played some D&D at school, so I had a basic understanding of the rule set, but no idea of the type of stories that could be told. My experience with that game was so formative that I give most of my characters the same name as my first BG character. Suffice to say that I am almost certainly the kind of person Larian had in mind when they ran a Kickstarter for a new Divinity game.
We wrapped up the murder mystery opening of the game and headed off into the forest for some undead killing. The combat is just what I want from a game like this, tactical and dynamic, with the location of the fight playing heavily into the strategy.
