Started over a few times but never made it past the first couple hours of act 2; Larian basically doubled down on all the annoying things from the previous game (they trust their cliché-ridden writing waaaay too much, even if it isn't as incredibly dreadful this time around) while completely reworking the formerly innovative combat system into what is essentially a glorified dps race.

Still arguably worth it if your tolerance for generic overblown "chosen one" narratives is high; mine isn't, and when it's easier to find literal gods to talk to and be sent on yet another quest to save the world by than it is to find a pair of trousers for everyone in your party, you know that the developers have gone way too far up their own asses with the "divinity" theme.
