Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition

Another waste of my time, spending about 30 hours tolerating annoying dialogues and voice acting, characters I don't care about idiotic story which starts with murder investigation and an absolutely amazing + 5% damage progression on items every level to get nowhere, that is a lol of a game design, lol? At a certain point you're just forced to go find certain amount of items that will allow you to open a stupid door which laughs at you saying haha no, you can't finish the game, you have to track back and remember every moronic character you've met along your path. I've been checking out the whole backlog of larian releases which lead to a brilliant BG3, where is that point where they came even close to their magnum opus??? I'm afraid of wasting my time on DOS2 :)

Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition is a cRPG masterpiece, it's the game every Baldur's Gate and D&D Fan has dreamed of. To be fair, I already thought so about the Classic Edition, but for some reasons, I gave up on the original one. Too Long To Read, so I skipped most of the dialogs. There was this "comic" bit which kinda put me off, and well, despite me having a blast, I guessed my attention went to other games, and I never came back. That is, till Divinity Original Sin 2 was announced, obviously. As I try to always play a prequel before attacking a sequel (even if, in this specific case, there were no story incentive to do so). I thus dived into DOS EE. And what a good idea that was. There is something organic with this game. The sheer amount of things you can, the sheer amount of possibility and freedom this game provides are astonishing. It plays and acts with objects like no other cRPG ever had, and the elements (that is water, fire, air and earth) quickly become the main actors of the game, making your life either miserable or fantastic, depending on which side of the elements you stand. The turn by turn combat system is extremely deep, challenging even as its standard level, and never stops to entertain. Compared to another masterpiece such as Pillars of Eternity, who often throws boring trash at you in between meaningful encounters, DOS manages to throw meaningful encounters constantly. There is never any repetition, each encounter feels new and challenging. The story is now completely voiced, and this add a lot to the game. I've played my shared of old school RPG with a mountain of text to read, but after playing games such as Mass Effect(s), Dragon Age(s) or The Witcher(s), fully texted games gets annoying. Hence, the fact it's been fully voiced really adds on top of all the other quality. The story makes a good job, if not exceptional, at puting the combat system into action. And let's repeat it, it's very fun to fight in DOS, and you'll do that most of the time anyway.

好游戏，但和二代相比是有很多游戏设计上的不足，不过风景非常漂亮（我觉得甚至好过二代） Good game. But compared with the next generation, there are still many shortcomings.However the scenery is beautiful.(I think it is even bettter than the next generation)

My and only experience with this series was with the first one, Divine Divinity. I have found the game to be very frustrating. It is extremely slow to level up, side quests are difficult as there is no guidance. I do NOT like the turn based stuff at all. It gets frustrating when you are getting your stuff kicked and you have to stand there. The game doesn't look that bad, I would put it on a level as the first Witcher game. The dialog is fine and there is some humor to be had there. The fight controls are terrible. As I said, it is turn based and in one case, I got one round in more or less as I had to pass to get enough points to do anything. In the bad Guys second round, they just kept coming until I got wiped out and I never really got offense in. Granted, I was level 6 and these guy were level 7, but should not have made that much difference. Adventuring outside can be a problem and not all that enjoyable as there are too many fight sequences that tend to take the fun out of exploring. In one case, I got some bad information when I went online. I was having some issues with the Trap House. According to what I found online, when you open the door, there is a water Trap, but the switch is next to the door and you can turn it off. Not so, You open the door and there is nothing but poison. That can be dealt with briefly, but in doing so, you get burnt up. Found another way in which was better. As I said, this is not a typical RPG and is frustrating to play. It is an alright time waster until something else comes along, but nothing you can really get into, at least I can't. If I can't keep moving in a game, I quickly become bored with it. My preferences are with stuff like the Elder Scrolls stuff, Fallout stuff, and of course The Witcher series. This is a long way away from those. I gave it 3 stars, but was being charitable. I participated in the Crowd Funding for Divinity: Original Sin and was supposed to get a copy, but never did.
