SIB divinity original sin 2 or Expedition 33?

After giving baldurs gate 3 a try I really liked how detailed the game was, only thing I didnt like was the skill checks and RNG aspect, should I get divinity original sin 2 or clair obscur expedition as my next game?,

And how do these games compare to eachother

Only thing that puts me off with divinity original sin is that it kinda looks cartoonish

This comment has been added to this thread because "clair obscur" was mentioned. Unfortunately discussions around this game tend to get very heated, both by those who like the game, and those who dislike the game. It disgusts us that people feel the need to be awful toward one another because someone likes to play with different toys than them, and if you're someone so pathetic that you would do that, then we don't want you here. For this reason we are much more strict regarding Rule 10 violations, and any Rule 10 violations in this thread will result in a ban, even those done in retaliation. "They started it" is not a valid defense. Report and ignore. This will be the only warning given in regards to this.

I mean they’re just completely different styles of game in every way. DOS2 is the spiritual predecessor to BG3 so if you want to keep ripping that kind of game I’d get that. If you want something totally different I’d get E33. I prefer BG3 and DOS2 overall, but that’s just because the combat in E33 is frankly difficult and takes time to figure out and also to actually execute. A lot of timing based button hits which I find hard
u/Review_Mission1Aug 1, 2026, 2:03 PM
Dos2 by big margin to be honest e33 are not that good as people claim (but still good) it like most people play just discover good story game for first time and it also happen right time about ubisuck drama + game dev by former ubi employee team.

DoS2 us better than BG3 but E33s story had me crying multiple times and I paced around my flat for 5 minutes trying to decide on which ending, ohh and the music is 11/10.
u/Virtual-Window-37181Aug 1, 2026, 2:22 PM
DOS 2.
u/BaldByChoice691Aug 1, 2026, 2:27 PM
Both are worth playing. E33 ia one of my top 3 of all time, DOS 2 is an amazing game with a ton of depth and replayability. Id recommend E33 first
u/Difficult-Fly78301Aug 1, 2026, 2:28 PM
Easily divinity 2 very easily, however if you just played through BG3, id prob go with E33 for a break in similarity
u/BaesPacFen1Aug 1, 2026, 3:08 PM
Two completely different things. Expedition is better overall though
u/Axeloy1Aug 1, 2026, 3:09 PM
They’re pretty different games. Divinity is definitely going to have more of the skill checks and rng stuff. Exp33 is much more concise and linear, but still feels like such a great adventure.
u/Allenias231Aug 1, 2026, 3:13 PM
dos2 Longer, Depth dialogue and Story, RPG with different Class and Character Creation, Choice matter E33 Parry, Stendhal, Esquie WOOOOO
u/ChallengeStrict72711Aug 1, 2026, 3:15 PM
Dos2 es mucho mejor juego, mas disfrutable si ya tenes un tiempo en los rpg, expedition es una aventura mas casual y visual, la primer hora del juego ya te engancha
u/adelin071Aug 1, 2026, 3:34 PM
Very different games with different target audiences. I, for one, could not get into Divinity original sin 2. I found it to be too dialogue heavy for my taste. I dropped it after about 10 hours. Expedition 33 on the other hand has become one of my favourite games of all time. The music alone resonated with me a lot. I couldn't stop playing it.
u/Darthmudcake1Aug 1, 2026, 4:27 PM
Expedition 33
u/Jaldi_The_Late1Aug 1, 2026, 4:47 PM
Get both. Expedition 33 is a safer pick. And IMO little bit better.
u/ADreamerDreams1Aug 1, 2026, 4:51 PM
Two different games but go Clair Obscur!
u/baalster1Aug 1, 2026, 5:52 PM
Well divinity original sin 2 is basically bg3 without rng skillchecks, so it might be right up your alley (though worth mentioning: its also far less cinematic in terms of cutscenes) Clair obscurs turn based combat is more akin to a game like FF10, pokemon or Persona 5 ( as in, its turn based, but without movement/positioning of characters) Both are fantastic. Whichever you choose: enjoy your time!
u/o5MOK3o1Aug 1, 2026, 6:01 PM
Dos2
u/taisui1Aug 1, 2026, 6:02 PM
If you love final fantasy the. e33, otherwise DOS2
u/SolemnDemise1Aug 1, 2026, 6:24 PM
You don't like the RPG aspects of BG3 and you're wondering about playing what is arguably more of an RPG in Dos2? E33 seems more up your alley.
u/EatADingDong1Aug 1, 2026, 6:25 PM
Very different. DoS2 has that same immersive sim style of RPG gameplay that you only get from Larian and E33 is arguably the best Final Fantasy since 10. If you can, get both.
u/Friendly_Furniture1Aug 1, 2026, 6:56 PM
I could not play BG3 after DOS 2. I think the only reason BG3 blew up was because it has the name "Baldurs Gate" in it and it was good enough. That said DOS 2 imo is better than BG3 in every single way. People bitch and moan about the armor system when it's really not a big deal, it just plays a LITTLE diffently then every other crpg and has next to no rng.
u/swuntalingous1Aug 1, 2026, 7:10 PM
I just put E33 into a category of a must try for anyone that enjoys art, cinematography, music, or gaming. It’s one of the best experiences I had at my computer.
u/Gibrar1Aug 1, 2026, 7:10 PM
Dos2 is a classic rpg with deep lore, character building, open world filled with sidequest. It's an rpg in the big sense of the term with all the freedom that comes with it. E33 is really more of a story focused game with turn based combat. The freedom you have is in the combat builds, but otherwise it's quite a linear game with a bit of side content. BUT E33 does it extremely well. Dos2 if yoi want a long and deep rpg with a rich world building, E33 for a quick but incredible gaming experience.
