Divinity: Original Sin 2 After Baldur's Gate 3 (Worth It?)

Almost half of everyone who plays Divinity: Original Sin 2 never escapes Fort Joy. Only 54% of players on Steam ever unlock The Great Escape. I was one of the ones who didn't. Years later, after Baldur's Gate 3, I came back, and this time I already knew how to play it. If you finished Baldur's Gate 3 and you're wondering whether Divinity: Original Sin 2 is worth playing, this video covers what carries over from BG3, the armour system that trips up nearly every Baldur's Gate player, why so many people quit in Fort Joy, and what's waiting on the other side. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 - Half of us never got out 00:30 - What carries over from Baldur's Gate 3 01:54 - The combat 02:39 - Similarities with Baldur's gate 04:20 - The characters 07:00 - The dialogue 08:01 - Armour and combat 09:13 - No DnD Classes 10:28 - Difficulty 11:25 - The Opening 13:41 - Where the game opens up 14:33 - It's Beautiful 15:40 - Should I play Divinity? ⚔️ IN THIS VIDEO Divinity: Original Sin 2 vs Baldur's Gate 3: combat, action points, surfaces, origin characters and co-op Why physical and magic armour changes how you build your party How DOS2 dialogue tags and persuasion work without dice rolls The Steam achievement stats that show how many players escape Fort Joy Source magic, the tadpole, and the Larian storytelling that links both games Tips for Baldur's Gate 3 players starting Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition Why now is the time to play before Larian's new Divinity game Divinity: Original Sin 2 is the 2017 turn-based RPG from Larian Studios, the team behind Baldur's Gate 3.
