Bought it last night on Steam to get the Digital Deluxe Edition bundled in the Early Access price.

It looks incredible.

My only concerns are moving the ability score points from races into just class choices might mean humans are left underpowered? I haven't seen how the new D&D5e handles this though.

Also how alignment is handled, because the original Baldur's Gate was awful for playing an Evil party. And that also meant a Paladin never faced any real hard decisions or trade-offs to keep their vows, etc.

How is it with a controller? Is it similar to Diablo IV at all? Never really played any of them but want to get into one (or both, funds/time allowing).

I haven't played the Early Access yet as I don't want to spoil it (but will set it up to test performance this weekend).

But D:OS2 was great on console - even split-screen! - just the inventory management is a little bit more of a hassle with a controller.

But note BG3 is delayed on Xbox due to Microsoft insisting on it shipping exactly the same for the Series S too, which struggles with the split-screen apparently.

Yeah, Divinity was great on consoles. Played it with my girlfriend and we had great fun.
