RPGs as we know them tend to follow a standard formula with a few branching paths. The protagonist is wronged, chosen, or otherwise placed in a situation where its their turn to go take down the antagonist and make things right. There’s occasional flexibility to be pacifistic or aggressive, or even be evil and turn against altruistic goals, but nothing comes to mind quite like what Tyranny promises: A world where the bad guy already won the ultimate battle and it’s your job to enforce his will.
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
