You must have such a refined taste to not waste more than 90 minutes on starfield. May I recommend Elden Ring or Baldur's Gate 3 for a discerning individual such as yourself.

The way you focus on concepts like empiricism, nihilism, solipsism, other isms, instead composing a straightforward reply that is to the point comes across autistic. The other guy's doing the same so maybe it's just typical conversation on here.

Just that the "arguments" and wording of these comments read very autistic, not just your own.

Are you autistic?

Exacerbated by the fact that DLSS is the most competent upscaler and the sole option for frame gen.

Probably means to say that DLSS requires an RTX GPU, only a certain fraction of the PC platform can use it.

Bioware themselves took many liberties with the source material to create their games, not sure wtf you're on about. Larian made a direct sequel to Bioware's Baldurs Gate, the tone was set by Bioware not the source material.

Baldur's Gate is narrative heavy and Larian's writers fell flat on their faces trying to replicate it.

Real time combat was a defining feature of the original games. I was prepared to accept turnbased combat but the game fails in too many other aspects to overlook.

I'm not sure why everyone exalts larian as some master story writer now when everything they've done has merely been passable. It doesn't matter how similar the story is if it's told like shit.

Yes, they did manage to include the city of Baldur's Gate, I'm impressed.

Recurring characters would be a treat if the game didn't suck in all other respects.

The play style? Wtf? Where's the real time combat, 6 party system, single open map, etc. Play style couldn't be anymore different.

I'm not sure how much the setting has changed since 2E but Larian's Faerun feels nothing like the original games.

Since when has gameplay been relegated to lowest priority when making a sequel to a GAME. I understand now what the original fallout fans must have felt when they were graced by fallout 3 and the masses praised it.

Tone and story are Larian tier, i.e. mediocre, and far removed from the original games. There is no fidelity to what bioware built, just pretence.

I assume if Larian releases original sin 3 with real time combat but carry over some general story references divinity apostles wouldn't bat an eye.
