“It’s not easy being green” /j

I don’t think beginners are going to be in that situation and most people probably won’t ever be in your situation, mostly people doing it as a hobby are going to end up with 100+ TB of data.

EDIT: when I say “most people wouldn’t be in that situation” I was thinking of the typical person who is on the fence about this and would be swayed by the “it will save you money” argument. Its quite likely that most people currently self hosting (I’d imagine mostly hobbyists) could be in a similar situation to you if they aren’t already

I should probably have added the context that I haven’t yet played DOS1, so I can’t say how it compares to the CC effects from that. I do agree it was a scaling issue, the damage scaled too quickly relative to the armor and the armor restoring abilities scaled awfully and required taking a lot of points into earth or water magic (there was shields up for shielded characters, but it had something like a 3+ turn cooldown I think).

The environmental effects were cool, but somehow it always ended up being cursed fire and blood clouds, and there was never much use for blessing surfaces given how many enemies could curse it just by walking on it.

The crafting had some neat points, especially early on, but it was often a lot of trouble and I didn’t really engage much with it after fort joy except for runes and hybrid skill crafting

That is awesome. I was hoping they’d learn from some mistakes for the new divinity game as both DOS2 and BG3 were overall very well done

I hated the DOS2 armor so much. Early game it does what its supposed to, but mid to late game its about as useful as wet tissue paper. It becomes a game of “who can stun the enemy first and win the fight”

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen the clothespin one years ago, so if its fake it’s at least photoshopped by hand
