"Divinity Original Sin 2" Topic

The definitive edition of this game is now out, for those that allready own the game this upgrade is free, Divinity 2 has been hailed as possibly the best computer RPG ever made.
Complete freedom is yours.

The game puts you in the shoes of one of 6 characters, the Red Prince a lizard royalty hunted, A human assassin former military leader on a secret mission, a she elf out for revenge, a human mage possesed by a damon, a pirate dwarf, and a undead imortal from eons past.
What they have in common is they are all sourceres, people who can use source, a magic essence. The problem is the use of source attracts demonic beings, and so all sourceres are rounded up and sent to the prison Fort joy.

I played over 55 hours of this game during the spring, and didnt finish it. But with the definitive edition uprade i started a new character.

The freedom you have is amazing, there is literally over a dozen ways to escape the fort, from just murdering every single guard to sneaking out (and everything inn between)

And unlike other cRPGs the turnbased combat is very dynamic and tactical. Placing ranged characters with the Huntsman skill above the enemy gives damage bonus, oil barrels can be destroyed and the oil set ablaze.

Characters can have two types of armor, magic and physical. If you attack an enemy with magic attacks that has lots of magic shield, then they'll take a lot of damage before they start loosing life, on top of that various attacks don't work as long as shields are up, and given the most important tactic in the game is crow control(temporeraly incapasetating the enemy) it's rather important. Physical knockdown attacks don't work when the enemy has physical armor etc.

The whole game is fantastic, every single line is voiced(and they added 150 000 new words in the definetive edition) I've never liked the older cRPG style games, but this one is fantastic, but it's so good and the combat is so much more dynamic than the other cRPGs, I'll problebly never play any other cRPG until Divinity 3 comes out.

Is this a PC game or is it on console as well?

It's a PC game and has recently been released for console.

Just started this, like it, but still getting used to a million special attacks on top of all the magic. Every battle seems to end up with everyone, alive or dead, on fire.

I didn't mean to kill any of the guards, it just happened.

Yes, orignally on pc, but the definietive edition has been realeased on console.

And yes, fire does break out quite easily, having a mage being able to call down rain is a lot of help.

Sure it did.

So true, you just can't remain in one area for long and you need to think ahead because fights can go south very quickly in this game.

I've now left the first area, took me about 20 hours.

I think I managed to do almost every thing before I left.

It's amazing how a single action can change a battle.
I was fighting an evil witch, I remembered from last time I played she was a tough fight.

In my first attempt I lost two characters quite early so I just loaded and tried again. Simply by moving my two hander to a different location I could control the combat and this time I finished her and her support with out loosing any one.
