I like the idea of playing these RPG games but can’t stand the combat. This is why Disco Elysium is my favourite game of all time. It had RPG elements, great story, narration, dialogue and voice acting and wasn’t bogged down by a combat system I didn’t like.
I have tried Divinity I and II, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, Pillars of Eternity. I left them at some point because I did not enjoy the combat one bit. With Pathfinder I even tried story mode to trivialise the combat but since the combat is such a big part of the game, I didn’t enjoy it even then.
If anyone here has played Baldur’s Gate 3 please let me know of your experience. Even if I end up not liking it I would really like to hear what you all think of it.
Already pre-purchased it. Want to find someone to play with, but considering the fact I’m in China I can’t but worry about the latency.
I’ve played Baldur’s Gate Enhanced Edition with people halfway around the world without problems. The lag is noticeable sometimes but since it’s a pausable turn-based rule system, latency isn’t a big problem.
I like picking up stuff, and being in China playing with Europeans means it takes me around 20 seconds to get the loot window to open… 😢
