Divinity Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition

[buru5]

Currently in Cyseal figuring out the murder, taking it really slowly. Is there a theif type character I can recruit here? I'm trying not to look up too much about this game. I found a mage but one of my mains is already a pure mage glass cannon. I found Madora and I like her so I'm using her for now. My second character is a Paladin type. But I need someone to break into shit. I found some gear that has Lockpick +1 on it but most doors/chests in Cyseal are Lock level 2-3 so I can't break in yet.

You can also try to find keys.

Yes, but some of the places I want to break into are other people's homes and usually, from what I've found, those keys are on the home owner's person.

With Paladin character?

The Paladin that don't mind looking the other way... for greater good of course

What's a paladin?

Bash the door open? Most of these doors have too much health to bash at this stage in the game, I'm only level 3. Or are you suggesting that I just murder these people for their keys?

from my memory lockpicking is a trap choice. Go for pickpocket.

What do you mean? Trap choice?

*oh, crap choice? alright. I just really want someone with 1 point anyways. I'll take the rogue in Cyseal and focus on Pickpocketing with him.

as in it gives you illusion of usefulness. For everything there is a key, either find it or pickpocket(this is amazing skill in this game, opens new ways of solving quests too). Later you will be just destroying locked doors anyway.
To have fun as rogue in dos you need pickpocket and sneak. no need to max as long as you collect items to boost them.
Afaik best chests cant be picked, only opened by key or scroll.

Good to know, thanks.

And I never stole anything.

How did you solve the first importatn quest of the game?, as far as I know it's impossible to solve it withotu stealing the key and evenif you breakdown the door (Which is still a crime , mind you, as well as traspassing) You needt o steal the book and the dagger. I've tried to found another solution, As far as I know, And as far as I'm told there isn't. So enlighten me.

You can solve that even without having that book and dagger. But I don't wanna spoil it for these who wanna try it themselves.

Can anyone recommend a video of a fun combat encounter so I can try to convince a friend to buy this on the steam sale? He doesn't give a single fuck about story or writing, just combat, so it would be nice to just have a video of a great combat encounter that I can show him.

 

[Raghar]

This game has no fun combat encounters. Perhaps with exception of teleporting Arhu from cage, and seeing him murder everything.

Actually I'm kinda pissed. Everyone knows what was the reason why Arhu was that way. He pissed off a witch which made it permanent. And that can be undone ONLY by that witch, not Arhu, which is for some reason out of Arhus reach. Either the witch is pissed off, or dead.

And the crime was Arhu's voyeurism and meeting other women and having sex with them, pissed her off. And she though when Arhu acts like a cat to watch naked women and spy on them to prepare best position for a sex with them, perhaps Arhu should stay a cat. PERMANENTLY. And then nobody was able to convince her otherwise.



Can someone explain me what was the scene in Divinity OS about? The only things that remained were the Arhu's voyeurism, and a witch. The problem is there is NO WAY how to seduce her to NOT KILL HIM FOR HIS SEXUAL AFFAIRS WITH OTHER WOMEN, and save his life by seducing her that being in cat form for a while would be better punishment.

Instead we had a fight.

Finally got around to playing this. It's pretty nice so far. First impressions --

* The mechanics seem really, really good: environment interactions, synergies between abilities, what looks like a fantastic crafting system, a character system that lets you do pretty much whatever the hell you like etc.
* It looks and feels really polished, with a consistent style, clear UI, and overall robust feel
* I very much dig the Roman-inspired setting. It's a nice twist on the usual pseudo-medieval stuff, ahistorical Zweihanders aside.
* There seems to be a /ton/ of stuff to do, and I don't feel like I'm led by the nose to do it.

OTOH I'm not fully sold on the art direction; it's a bit too Disney for my blood, the voice acting is ... not great, and the writing is a tad clichéd and wink-wink-nudge-nudge.

You need to go in a cage.

BTW when you go with lone wolf, you'd lose one skill point for every level above 5. And the lack of fourth party member would increase difficulty by one level up. Larian should work both on later part of game, and allowing multiple solutions to problems. Divine Divinity had similar problem. Last third was mindless combat, even worse than in Divinity OS.

On both of these fronts the pre-EE version was better. I think a lot of the script changes they did to make the story less bread crumb like put the story more in your face and thus more of a glaring flaw. Before you could pretty well ignore the plot till just the end of Cyseal. Now you get huge explainers from a few NPCs when they didn't exist before. Sure in classic you often had a "why am I doing any of this" feel but it was better on balance.
