Divinity Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition

[Cyberarmy]

Backstab is good but loses effectiveness at late game where everyone is armored. Still with guerliia talent I one shot most mages from sneak.

Next time just teleport Baccus onto that lava

Love the scoundrel/marksman synergy

Yeah one of my heros started as a rogue but has morphed into a rogue/archer with focus on archery. I never use melee with her, but some of the rogue skills are very useful nonetheless - haste/charming touch/teleport etc.

Backstab = 2x double damage.
Guerilla = 2x double damage
Backstab with guerilla = 2x quadruple damage
Stacks with Daggers Drawn.
Cast the 50% damage buff and pick the Bully talent and watch high numbers.

How many AP does it cost to attack with daggers? I'd have to think movement requirements would take a sizable amount of your AP.

Dagger type weapons are 2 ap, regular 1handers 3 and 2 handers 4 as far as I can tell. +1 or more if the weapon is higher level than you.

Lol does this kill him? I noticed fire damage heals him so that doesn't make much sense.

So, huh, Gameinformer pushed metacritic to 86 (yay!), but sadly the user critics 'plummeted' to 9.2. I should stop checking this

This is to be expected. If the game gets a good Metacritic score, some people will do an impulse buy and bitch about it later.

Hımm, was he fire immune? I just remember hes only highly resistant but if hes immune it won't work. I killed other adds like this, Baccus himself died before because he loved to dance around Madoras AoO area.

Remember that every attack with a dagger/rondel = 2 hits. So, if a rondel has 20 damage, that's 20 damage x 2, for 2 AP. Essentially 1 AP per attack. And if you have a high speed character and/or fast mover perk, it is 1 or 2 AP to position yourself behind them once you are in melee range, unless you're fighting a specially oversize enemy. Finally there is the status effects as described above.

Is that so? I thought it was just 2x dam/2, so you do the normal damage but for lower ap, and with two attack rolls (maybe with 2 chances for special effects, though).
At least that was the word during beta.

 

[Volrath]

Some people say Backstab is OP, but I haven't tried it myself.

I think it's pretty great as it is. I found a pretty great dagger with stun ability early on so it helps even more.

I usually go for the invisibility + sneak behind mage + teleport tactic.

Anyone knows how to work with tiberium ore and ingots?

 

[Sodafish]

Hmm all this backstab talk has me curious now... I'll have to try it out.

I'll also say the glass cannon trait is ridiculously good for mages. 16 recovery AP for Jahan

 

[Cyberarmy]

Im using that one too, you should really upgrade it with tormented soul,teneberium and whetstone though.

BTW if you sell some teneberium weapon to a shopkeeper who don't know how to wield it, they get rot

Edit: Black You can't craft weapons/armor from teneberium but you can use bars on your existing equitment to upgrade them. I was able to smelt the forge in home plane btw.

[Crooked Bee]

Heh, no one in my party is using one-handed weapons. That's something to try for my next playthrough, as is backstab and Scoundrel abilities in general.

It has nice synergy since -50% hp means you have to invest in Con and more Con = more max AP.

Same here. Using the original party still, want to finish the game with them.

But really, so many fun things to try out in future replays.

Dear Lord, the loading times are killing me. I get that it loads the entire area, not just a small portion of it, but by God is the waiting nauseating.

Rolling a rogue was a big mistake combat-wise imo. Not having found anything other than a dagger as a main weapon (and since you can't dual-wield), I'm seriously thinking of re-rolling a warrior/mage instead.

You don't need to reload. Backstab is pretty powerful on my rogue and Charming Touch is perhaps overpowered (you can charm anything as far as I know: zombies/robot/skeletons/etc)

I don't know shit about crafting in this game.

 

[imweasel]

I visited the "brothel"... David Gaider and the hardcore Biowhores will hate this game. A lot.

 

[Xenich]

This is because it's the influence on sales which ensures that more games of this type are made. I don't care if other people like D:OS or not, or if they are playing it for "the right reasons". What interests me is that they should buy the game so that Larian could earn more money and make more games like it. And since the average metacritic influence the sales (even if that's stupid)... I would wish that the average was as high as possible.

Bingo was his name-O!

 

[Haba]

Oh shit.

Why didn't anyone tell me that save-scumming chests is not a good idea? First three rolls with über rares... then it goes to common trash and stays there.

Snakebite..... in a game WITH NO FUCKING SERPENTS. At all.

Yes I am butthurt about no snakes in DOS...

Finally a review from a major publication in English, Gameinformer gives DOS 90.

A pretty good review, too. What's going on.
