Honestly, I’ve still yet to try the new-gen Divinity series, as BG3 broke my heart in ways which are hard to forgive and forget, and I’ve heard that those two suffer from the same withering of the story in the final Act.
I do love games for mechanics, but they count for nothing if the story craps on my heart (unless they’re specifically mechanics-driven games, but there’s no dish which couldn’t benefit from a sprinkling of spices and herbs).
Divinity Original Sin is a good half way compromise to the 2 types of games.
