Morrowind is not supposed to be a tactical game. A turn based party game has the possibility to have more complex and better combat than a real time single character game, but along with that comes different standards to judge it by. Whether Morrowind is difficult has very little bearing on whether its an overall good game. Compare to Oblivion, it's not like Oblivion was disliked because it was either too hard or too easy.
Neither is Divinity OS. Its a wacky cursed fire+ holywater=?? game.
It has turn based combat, it is slowing the game down with needing to control multiple characters in a turn based environment, if it isn't delivering good combat that is decently balanced then its wasting the player's time.
You mistakenly assume that turn based == tactics, and real time == action, and that any turn based game must be judged on how tactics it is. DOS isn't and never attempted to be a game focused on tactics. Its focused on outrageous set pieces, as you can almost immideately see by moving the camera to the fire puzzle iirc east of the first city. Its tactical enough for you to feel smart about using teleports and throwing items to gain advantage, and not more than that, and its not trying for more than that.
Thank you. I had already done that but sometimes I still have to talk with myself. Anyway, ok, I'll survive to it.
You can finish the game without being accepted by the Immaculates. You can even finish the game without freeing Icara. Very few quests in this game are blocking progress.
Yes, that I know, but I'm quite completitionist and I wanted to save Icara. Plus, King Boreas has a very disturbing name and I want to kill him
C'mon dude, it's leagues better than calling him King Northy.
WIthout a doubt. But it annoys me, for no reason.
"Very" and "good" aren't the first words to come to my mind when describing the story of a game where a princess turns a cat into a human to have sex with him.
Don't tell me you never dreamt of fucking a pussy
Anyway, serious answer: it isn't a mindblowing plot. There are, obviously, some things that are clearly classic Larian and try to put some irony in the game. Then, sure, we can argue if this irony is always successful (and it isn't), but the story is average-pretty-good.
I have to be honest and admit I didn't know, at the beginning, there was a quest about RPGCodex and RPGWatch but, when I met the two watchers, a lot of things rang a bell and I was like "Fuck, they are talking about the Codex!"
Most of that game time is combat. It's not because loads of content.
I agree that combat takes a long time (the last fight took me around 30 minutes, I think), but there is also a lot of content. There are other TB games that don’t last even half as long as this.
