Bottom 1024 — Week 29 — Poll 6

Post by This Old Neon »

Welcome to the #BGE2020 Elimination Round Lower Bracket!

Each game in the lower bracket is still seeded based on its performance in the two opening rounds of pools! Every game in the lower bracket has already been defeated by another game in a 1-on-1 poll to get to this point. This is their chance to claw their way back into the main event... but the stakes are high. The games that lose in these polls are out of the tournament for good! The games that survive will face the next crop of upper bracket losers in the next round.

Polls are updated weekly, typically on Saturday... or Sunday or Monday. Check back throughout the week to make sure you don't miss a vote!

HOW TO VOTE

This is easy. You only get one vote per poll. The game with the most votes wins. In the event of a tie, the higher seed advances, so don't get complacent!

D:OS is a game I can't say enough good things about. I like the Divinity series in general, and one thing I love about Larian Studios is that they always mix some humor in with the drama, but with a different - almost Monty Python-esque - sensibility. And I hadn't had so much fun with tactical combat since the Gold Box series. Putting out fire with rain and then firing lightning into the resultant steam to shock your enemies...dropping oil to make your opponents slip and fall, then setting the oil on fire while they're helpless...teleporting people 50 feet into the air and watching them plummet to the ground below...good times, good times.

The presentation of the story was kind of weak, though, and was surpassed by the sequel.
