I really want to play this game, but I can't stomach brain-parasite stuff :(
It's quite tame, they're basically just acting ot a headache while the narrator says some stuff.
I mean, apart from the intro, OC should definitely skip it.
Unless they want to get psionic powers, that screen is pretty heavy on the brain gore and worms
Oh yeah, that too. I forgot how gore it is.
I refused to eat more worms on my playthroughs, are the powers that good?
Some powers are really strong (e.g., luck of the far realm). But what is really strong is the transformation. Fly every turn? Yes please.
I feel very overpowered in dialogues for one, too many boosts to my rolls at times.
Play Divinity Original Sin 2 if you haven't already. Same developer, very similar game overall, and no brain wormy stuff. Also a masterpiece
you should do it anyway. you will be ready for real life brain parasites that are coming out in a couple years of they don't get delayed again
You could look at the mods and checks if some remove the brain visuals. And don't go on the first floor during the intro :p
