The developers of the excellent Divinity Series, especially Divinity 2 is amazing. Sounds like the perfect match to bring back a legendary series.

Yeah.... I'm checking this one out...
Reading now it will be PC and Stadia only. I'm not interested in Stadia at 130 upfront, 10 bucks a month.... And then also have to buy the games.

Upon hearing this, I opted to revisit BG2 EE.

Most obviously, you have to get past the dated graphics. But the stories are still solid and offer some moral choices. That and the clashes between some NPCs paved the way for Dragon Age, Mass Effect and Witcher in that they showed that RPGs could have more depth than just kill and loot.
An enjoyable walk down memory lane, I would say it holds up better than most games of that era. I would put Fallout 2 ahead of it in terms of depth and morality.
