Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition

If you like old 80/90s action movies where blowing things up is the answer, strategize no further! This is the game for you!

Probably the best of the newer "old school rpgs", the combat is amazing and the amount of different factors that goes into it makes every fight different and fun

When I try to launch it just shows an error: MSVCR110.dll and MSVCP110.dll are missing. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times. Downloaded the visual studio redistributables 2013 etc etc. I tried everything that people suggested on the forums. Literally nothing. And I can't even get a refund. I will never buy anything from gog again.

Way too long, uninteresting crafting, vendor loot (mixing finite number of chest and random weapons: not a good idea, either fixed weapons or insane number of loot, like borderlands or path of exile), story not that good, unbalanced (as soon as you reach level 3 skill, especially the bow). I just enjoyed the first chapter (the fight with the boss and three mid boss resurected was really interesting). After that, i just wihsed the game would end as fast as possible. (i also liked the orc/barbarian invaded village and the fact i was able to nearly kill both sides (just one of the barbarian managed to escape, RIP poor tavern keeper)).

Back are the days of great games like Baldurs Gate and Planescape Torment. True this game doesn't compare to them just like PST doesn't compare to BG. This game stands on its own feet and sets a new standard other adventure RPG's will be measured against. Note that you can play the game in different ways. I chose to play it as 'Classical' so this review is for that style. The game has gorgeous graphics just slightly going to the side of cartoonish (i.e. specularity isn't used too much and colors are bright). This allows for some (Larian) humor in the game which otherwise would feel out of place (like for instance the sheep animation :-) ). Important in games are the number of things you can do so the world feels real and in DOS there is plenty to do. * Detective work * Crafting ** You try to combine items you think make sense ** Apply recipes you find during your travels * Fighting * Level up with a lot of choice how you would like to do that * Lots of things to discover so keep your eyes peeled This game did the impossible for an adventure with lots of text (think NWN, PST, BG amounts of text) and that is to have everything and I mean everything voice acted. There are lots and lots of items in game everything with its own great looking icon. The TBS fights are not too tough and not too easy. Equipment needs to be maintained but in a way that makes it easy. You can just right click repair and the character that is best at repairing will do it for you. This saves you from the tedious dragging around equipment. Interesting characters to meet, fabulous treasures to be found and insidious foes to be fought. This is one of the best adventure RPG's I played in a long time. 6 out of 5 stars from me.
