Been playing a bit of BG3 lately. Not sure if I like the dnd system better than their Divinity one. At least for a video game. I suppose it's too early to tell since it's not 'out' yet though
well, it has to follow the system cause it's a licensed job. However, it does not stop people from modding the game however they feel like to. A good frame work with proper modding support will last this game for years and years. (like a DM mode, random encounter with randomized party/scripted events during battle, etc.)
