    Ok,so as a long time FPS player (Wolfenstein 3d times),i have in the last couple of years started dipping my toes into the RPG genre.

    I've only a PS4 and Xbox 360 before that so i've played Skyrim (on xbox360) Fallout4 ,Witcher 3 and action rpgs like Bloodborne,Dark Souls series and Diablo3..

    I wanted to ask if any of you would recommend Divinity:Original Sin as ive seen a couple of Videos and im intrigued by the art style and the sense of humour of what i've seen

    So any thoughts ,tips and recommendations etc would be really appreciated..

    Thanks.

    I'd highly recommend it as it's a fantastic game, but...

    It plays nothing like any of those games. It's a very old-school RPG. Maybe the closest is The Witcher III in terms of quest length, is quite text-heavy, etc. It can be very slow going and obtuse.

    Took me a fw hours to get into it (only for the fact I bought it digitally I probably would have abandoned it). The combat is turn-based and is one of the highlights of the game.

    Thanks all,well it certainly seems like it would be worth trying anyway,ive not played a crpg really (a sad attempt at Fallout many years ago)
    The worst that can happen is that i find out im not into this type of rpg but it seems if it clicks with me,the rewards are vast..

    This is excellent news!

    Sadly, the composer for the series, Kirill Pokrovsky passed away last year so the sequel will lose his magical touch :(
