Small niche games Mass Effect and Dragon Age, which only sold a handful of millions. When will nerds start realizing they were always a marketable target demographic

Also, saying Larian "picked up" the formula after BioWare "abandoned" it is patently wrong. They have been making these games for as long as BioWare

No one remembers divinity 2 ego draconis and it's a damn shame, would love to see larian remake this title.

They need to remake everything before Divinity Original Sin. I'm playing Divine Divinity and it has been the most painful experience just getting the game to display properly. It doesn't have a proper settings menu with graphics options like resolution or windowed/full screen modes so you're just fighting with the ConfigTool to get it working.

As a mage, you could bomb high level enemies from afar over and over again and jump multiple levels on one kill. A single mistake got you killed though. I loved that game.

Divinity: Dragon Commander was another Larian gem.

My current character is a warrior mage that has the ability to mind control enemies. He usually doesn't have too much trouble but those 4? Commander bases I kept getting one shot before before could even use any of my spells, so I am trying g to get a few more character levels.

The game still runs really well, the controls and animations are a little clunky. But there aren't many games that give you such an experience. I'm not sure how much of it's lore was retconned, which is another reason why I would like to see it remade. It can just be more or less the same game, but with updated engine, graphics, and lore.
