I've ALWAYS hated turn based video games. If I wanted to play a turn based game I'd do it properly with dice and pencil and paper 😮 😄

It's worth it if you like classic AD&D RPG's at all like Baldur's Gate/Neverwinter Nights. While this game isn't AD&D it's more like AD&D evolved. Movement and actions are not only limited by turns but also by action points. Being able to elementally affect the ground makes for some interesting tactical gameplay and the wide selection of classes makes the game a different experience based on your class makeup. Both of the DOS games were really well done (well after all the initial release bugs got worked out anyway) and remain two of my favorite RPG's of all time. I enjoyed the story for both and really looking forward to Divinity: Fallen Heroes.

I bought this turn-taking game (ok, turn-based combat then) July 6 2014 for $50, because I wanted to enjoy it during my summer vacation. I've completed 1 % of the game so far :blush: - but I feel I'm really close to starting the game up again 😄 (I know, it's kinda depressing/pathetic - I'll probably never get it done now - thank you VR!)
The sequel looks even more impressive, but no - I'm not buying it before I've finished the first game! B)
I do believe that these may be the finest turn-taking games ever made. Maybe there's still hope for me - when I get a PS5 and if the console versions support 4K res.

Not sure you need a big TV for this game though... 😉

I probably did complete slightly more than 1% of Divinity Original Sin, and yes it's really an awesome game. I've spent many hours on now old/classic RPGs, especially the Gothic games, Neverwinter Nights 1-2, Knights of the Old Republic, Dragon Age, Planescape Torment etc. - but the original Divine Divinity (yes, not the best name ever :D) was simply awesome (I did complete that game like 16 years ago, so sad when I finished it). This video is spot on:

Whilst it isn't turn-based, one of the best RPG games I've ever played was Dungeon Siege. It was SO GOOD.

The two sequels were also great too.
