There is a HUGE difference.
Yes,the quality of their writers. Owlcat have between parts with decent/mediocre and great writing. While DOS games are notorious for their sewage tier writing. And yeah,the end part of kingmaker was the worst part of the game,it should have been some mid/low level demigod as your enemy. Really don't like when games get that level of power fantasy retardation.

I mean, the moment the tadpole is inside it starts munching. You're literally brain damaged and getting worse every second. Om nom nom.

armies of evil (gnolls, orcs, duergar, goblins, drow, ...)

Bet that's why they don't mention that press-release anywhere. Can't be seen going against the new and improved D&D.

Lol at these gypsies thinking the story is only "tadpole gives super powerzzz".

There's much more to it obviously but it won't be revealed untill the game is out, you dirty low IQ peasants.

This is just retarded, the "plot" by three evil gods is just the repeat of the fucking Tablets of Fate fiasco, that led to Bhaal and Myrkul getting dead in the first place. Have they already forgotten how Ao bitchslapped everyone?

Merida, again
Maybe it turns out to be some sort of symbiote shit. I hope we can have full conversations with it. Maybe it will give you quest tips and stuff.

It already helps you succeed on checks automatically, so having full-blown conversations with it is not that far off.

The more I read about this the more of a bad feeling I get about it.

I really wish they hadn't gone for a Baldur's Gate sequel; there is absolutely no way they could top BG II, not with the abysmal quality of writing & 'humor' they incorporate into their games like D:OS, which turned an otherwise very good game into something I could no longer play after playing around half the game.

They should have gone with a standard D&D game, done their own thing but with the D&D ruleset and TB combat. It would have been incline simply due to these two points.

in before, feature reveal: import your bg2 save and the bhaalspawn pc is the final boss

That would be pretty RAD. My last BG2 save is with a maxed epic necromancer that soloed SoA on Legacy of Bhaal. No 5e character could even touch him. 3 Horrid Wilting in a chain sequencer followed by 3 skull trap in a spell trigger would destroy even the most broken Pun Pun-like lv 20 5e build...

Good lucky fighting this guy

He can OHK dragons and demon lords by fingering then like a Succubus. A thing which no 5e char can do since FoD no longer OHKills

Tiamat which is the strongest 5e enemy, could die in two round to my BG2 char. I an not joking. 2 * reduce resistance + greater malison in a trigger followed by Za Warudo(stop time), Improved Alacrity and a couple of Finger of Deaths would make her fingered like a Succubus.

Is just speculation. However, Larian loves Godhood in their games, hence all divinity games,

Yeah, BG2 was just full of great writing. Like when your pregnant wife who is a child in elf-years is fighting in combat.
GO FOR THE EYES BOO!
