Jo from GamersFTW writes: "As a long time fan of RPGs, I can safely say that it is about time that something came along and shook up the genre. Generally RPGs involve playing as the hero/heroes and trying to save the world from a terrible evil which is threatening to consume everything. Like most genre-based games, the storylines and basic details of RPGs can be fairly similar across titles. The newly-announced RPG from Obsidian Entertainment, Tyranny, however looks like it is going to offer us something unique and refreshingly different."
Baldur’s Gate is a name synonymous with party-based fantasy RPG games. There’s still a stretch of time until the third instalment finally leaves early access. While you’re waiting for the gates to open and welcome you to Forgotten Realms, you might be looking for similar games to ease the wait.
In my personal opinion, Divinity Original Sin 2 is better than any of the Baldur's Gate games.
Are you including BG3 in that comparison? Or just the first 2? The first 2 are tough to get into now, and I never liked the ad&d rules. The 5e rules are much easier to grasp. But BG3 seems to be just DOS2 but times 10. Haven't played it in early access at all, just going by what I see online.
hilarious because the game that is most like BG3 and a game every DND fan should try is Solasta and its not even on this list
The Humble Battle of Yore Bundle features games like Pathfinder: Kingmaker + Royal Ascension & Wild Cards DLC, Gordian Quest, and more.
Starting today, Pillars of Eternity: Definitive Edition and Tyranny: Gold Edition are free at Epic Games Store. The free game offers run until December 17 at 11 AM Eastern. Once you claim them, they're yours to keep.
Starting next week they are giving one free game every day for 15 days.
Cheers epic
Admittedly I'm not a huge RPG person as I have only ever played Pillars of Eternity, but this game is peaking my interest especially considering its by the same people who made Pillars!. Finally an RPG that is looking to shake up the formula a bit.
I want to be inherently evil in a game. Thank you Oblivion.
