Love having all my party members twiddling their thumbs defending and healing while one guy fails his steal rolls 10 times in a row
I extra love it if the steal move deals damage so you have to also worry about the target dying from too many failed attempts
I double extra love it when it’s a boss battle when on top of everything else the story momentum just grinds to a halt while you fuck with a stupid RNG for 5 minutes
DD2 has so many interesting things and just a weirdo vision to it but lacks the polish to bring it together properly that someone like Fromsoft or Kojima would give it.
It feels like Baldurs Gate 3 if it had action combat instead of turnbased. But without the writing, level design and freedom that it deserves. I mean, it has the freedom but it doesn’t give you enough creative options for solving quests in off the wall ways outside of a couple of them.
With that said, the weird way you can piece together the story through 3rd-hand info rather than being spoonfed it sometimes feels like archaeology and I really dig it.
