What's the Yea Forumserdict on this series? does it play well with a controller?

first one has a better story, decent characters and amazing gameplay.
however, mechanically speaking 2 is a huge improvement to the first, with the exception of the shitty fucking armour system, 2 has more skill schools, more spells per skill, etc

yeah maybe theyre fun if theyre the only games youve ever played

I've been playing turn based games since the early 90s, starting with tactical RPGs like the fire emblem series, as far as combat goes (balancing aside) the original sin games are mechanically superior to anything that came before it, poe2 tried to mimic the barrel meme and failed horribly, I still enjoy most turn based games like the HBS shadow run games or even the first two fallouts. but you'd be a blind idiot in absolute ignorant denial to not see how the OS games improve upon older trpgs

>turn based
>games
you just btfo'd yourself, my dude

>haha I have no proper response so I'll just nitpick something stupid
see, you can't even point out exactly why the game isn't mechanically better than other trpgs

>you can't even point out exactly why the piece of shit isn't better than other pieces of shit

How'd you feel about the general tone of the first game? I found the more lighthearted almost parody/absurd style of the first game fit the artystyle a bit more, with your dudes launching in to, admittedly too frequent, quips full of emotion during combat and exploration compared to the more generic responses in OS2.

I played the first almost a year after I finished the second, I really liked both but I thought the story of the first was way better. plus none of that stupid armour system

id like to play the first, but the heal mechanic outside of combat is bunk and I don't see a mod to address this

yeah the bedrolls in 2 are based, other than that just spam heal with one character on the others
