I picked up Total War: WARHAMMER III and Pennon and Battle, both strategy games. I'm thinking of getting Baldur's Gate 3 as well. This should keep me busy for a while. My holiday plan is to stay home and game!

I felt far more restricted by D:OS2's armor system. Freeform classes sound great on paper, but it also means you kind of naturally end up at a spot where you've got everything instead of making meaningfully difficult choices in classes or multiclassing. Learning abilities from books leads to a lot of money bottlenecks and leveling decisions that I didn't care for. The way that the combat usually doesn't have any chance to hit, but then does very occasionally, makes missing an attack feel like bullshit rather than a calculated risk. I'm also looking forward to whatever they do next, maybe even a sci-fi interstellar RPG, but I hope they don't go back to the Divinity well too often for RPG mechanics.
