Divinity Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition

[Jimmious]

They (the quest markers) point to people that are related to quests but not locations. You will never have a marker pointing at an item for example that completes a quest afaik

Heads up, a spoiler you'll be glad to know before you start exploring Chapter 2:

Spoiler

If you wander in the Wrecker's Cave around lvl 11/12, stumble into those four Voidwokens and watch helplessly how they chew you up, don't reload thinking you're underleveled for the area and have to come back later. You're actually not underleveled. It's one of those RPG moments where you're supposed to die. Yeah. I reloaded, came back at level 15, they "killed" me anyways and then I was just facerolling through this huge area that's appropriate for level 12/13, fighting trash mobs, finding trash loot and getting rewards that'd be great three levels ago. Just fyi.

Nothing better then going through a level and finding only leveled loot...even with lucky charm, you get leveled loot in a region xD

Lone Wolf is the only way to play.

Try playing a fighter vs the Bridge Trolls tho.

1 hit, and I got REEEKT ;D

It got immunity to everything and has 043953409583409345 hp

Just killed Drog Grog , it was much easier than I thought , poor fella didn't get a chance to do anything getting stunned each turn . Didn't even take long to do it , thanks to Prince's pyromancy dealing over 1000 damage per turn .

Spoiler

People say that 2 lone wolves are really strong , but I wonder how they deal with gimmicky fights like this , where versatility really matters .

2 lone wolf summoners are real good versatile cheese.
just drop a point or so in the magic schools to learn the infusion spells (or better yet get loot with +magic skills if the RNG favors you) for creating them surfaces and elemental infusions with utility and you are good to go.

I did just kill them on level 12.IS there some kind of immortal monster or something that i missed?I cleaned the caves and killed the idiot dwarf undead.

So far who are the cool characters? For me Red Prince and Ifan are good adventuring buddies the girl bard looked like she'd be funny too but I took Fane instead. The elf girl should have been more like Divinity Dragon Commander this one was acting like a piece of garbage, might give her a go next playthrough along with beast.

I have a bad feeling that we're going to have to kill each other so only one of us becomes the divine would be sad.

 

[Renevent]

Primary is Red Prince, and he's cool. The others I took were Lohse, Fane, and Ifan. The other two were insufferable.

 

[fantadomat]

The elf chick becomes more interesting later in the second chapter,at least for me.Fane feels little boring,i haven heard him talk for the last 10 hours.

[...] Larian aproach to game is fun unlike any POE balanced bland shit.

Honestly though, some of the main flaws of the game stems from the fact that Larian seem to have forgotten this key tenet. I think it hit the game late in development, which is why it's not endemic, but there are definitely key parts where they prioritized "balance" over fun. It's honestly very.. odd. It's like they changed leads mid-development or something, or decided to build the game as some kind of competitive platform, possibly for PvP or something. It's actually quite odd, the near-obsession there seem to have been on certain aspects of the game, which is why the Attributes are so extremely lackluster and we're stuck with the round-robin turn-order.

This is exactly what I've been thinking. A lot of combat decisions seem to be focused on balanced multiplayer PvP which is certainly crazy as it was never the focus of the game.

Yes, it's the weirdest thing. Is it even possible to PvP?

 

[AwesomeButton]

This is the answer of an emergent gameplay game designer. Nothing is completely impossible, you just have to arrange the circumstances.

arenas

also the chapter 2 start at the ship is so bad its actually putting me off from starting the game

 

[AwesomeButton]

Stop making fools of yourselves, this game has no quest markers.

Please explain this then.

This is a map location marker, which uses nomenclature digestible for modern day audiences (mostly ppl who enjoy skyrim).

 

[Arkeus]

Malady is ridiculous.

Wanting to get me on a boat before I loot the enemies. Seriously.

This vs the first game - which is better and why? Have they finally implement the NPC schedules they had promised originally?

Unfortunately, no. The new one is better in total but things changed (mainly in combat) which are, to say the least, controversial.

 

[Sjukob]

His dragon breath?

Not just that . Prince is geo/fire mage in my party , I used every fire spell I could: fireball , whip , laser and his breath of course .

I am about to get past Act 1 on this one, so I guess I should say it's better than the first.

D:OS 2 is better than D:OS 1. Don't kid yourself. Overall though, it's shitty compared to numerous other cRPGs.

Mark ma words boys, Vince will be our RPG Messiah yet.

When The New World releases, it will be better than fucking Fallout. It will make you see a new dimension of cRPGs.
It will make you question reality. It will hurt, but you will pull through.

 

[Mark Richard]

Although Original Sin is an RPG, it has one foot in the strategy genre, evidenced most clearly by the XCOM-style combat.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 is the Dark Souls of XCOM style RPGs.

 

[Jarmaro]

Can we at least agree on what this game succeds at?
