   At least for me, even returning to WotR (now interrupted for Rogue Trader) still felt awesome after BG3, I enjoyed the return to mechanical depth a lot ;)

   Usual reminder that it’s Divinity: Original Sin I & II, Divinity is the series [0], and Divinity II [1] is even a specific game by them. Even just calling it "Original Sin" or "D:OS" is clearer. [0]: https:/&#
