Is Divinity Original Sin or Pillars of Eternity better?

PoE has fewer puzzles. I prefer the continuous combat in PoE, to me it seems more *realistic*. In my opinion the turn based combat in DOS feels a bit too much like a puzzle to be solved. Both games can drop you into *hopeless* fights (I'm ok with this) however it's easier to escape from them in DOS.

Should I play Divinity or Pillars of Eternity?

Divinity, while being also heavy in reading, the combat feels more action-packed than the other two. To me, POE felt like in between, has action but also reading. If I were you, I'd go for Divinity. Divinity isn't that heavy on reading as it's all voice acted.

Should I start with Pillars of Eternity 1?

Yes, you can enjoy PoE2 without playing PoE at first. However, PoE does not just give you ''a bit'' of lore/world building. The whole World of PoE is built through PoE1. It's like watching Lord of the Rings - The two towers and saying the Fellowship of the ring is not required at all.
