You literally bring up quantity though, you said you can do more with environment in DOS2 than BG3 and i showed you examples of the player interacting and using the environment in the game and in its combat, but now you tell me more doesnt equal better? then why did you bring that up to begin with?
How am i wrong? i talked about every single thing you mentioned, i also praised Bless despite and lets be honest here that Bless is trash during the actual fight, because any Voidwoken that bleeds turns it back into curse so you lose a source point for something that barely last one turn. This is why Necrofire meme was a thing.
I wasn't talking about "wow fun" though, i was talking with actual material, giving you ways that you can interact with the combat and using your surroundings in the environment to add more depth to it. Again you are free to find anything you prefer more fun, that is not my point, shoving something or using jump or dipping a surface are all ways you get to use the environment to your advantage, that was the main point we were talking about.
What I said about quantity applies to both your and my post as well. Wasnt a jab. Was just stating something. Also, you praised level design a bit in BG3 and while it certainly has a more verticality to it, I think it does more harm than good as the AI and overall combat does not really click well with it. Perfect example is below Baldurs Gate when you go for Erin(tho I think they fixed this), when I played it a launch, there were enemies behind open windows on a building far away, meant as an ambush, however none of them could actually hit through the window or have enough range for it. There are a lot of scenarios like this where verticality just ruins all the fun from the encounter. I didnt find BG3 fun at all, not when I played alone nor when I replayed with a friend, combat wise ofc. DOS2 on the other hand made us wow and laugh at loud at some of the crazy shit we used to do in combat. Anyway, no point going back and forth with this. Like I said, agree to disagree, you like BG3, I like DOS2, we can move on.
