Quests Options Abound

Many reviews talk about the flexibility of the combat system, and while it's true that you can combine magics in all sorts of interesting ways, or not magics in all sorts of interesting ways, this game is so much more than a combat system. The amount of variety when solving quests is simply astounding. Not only do you get meaningful decisions through dialogue, allowing you to talk your way through a great many encounters, but you can complete quests in some truly unexpected ways. Like, just at the very beginning when you're tasked with getting past Fort Joy, there are about a dozen different ways to do it.

ramble

I must say I really like this game it. What makes the game great is not the main story arc of the game but the side stories of the playable characters. Everyone of them is different from one another and offer a good and engaging story arcs. BUT, in my play through I have come across a bugg created a situation where i could not progress futher down that quest arc as intended. I have also have had the game crash on me more then once, this might be partly my own fault, when I tab in and out of the game causing me to lose in total hours of game time. The combat in the game is both better and worse then the first game, Better because most abilities fell better and more consistant and the Armour and magical protection system the game makes it so that in most cases you dont need to be worried about some random enemy archer using a charm arrow on your tank the first thing in combat. Worse because the combat is so dependat on that your equipment is lvl appropriet making otherwise GREAT unique armour and weapons useless because their low base stats. This is a minor issue in the beggning of the game but latter becoming a f**king hassle to manange. Another great improvement from the first game is that respecs is free and dont remove which skills you know, makning it easy to change and adjust your playstyle for any of your characters. In the end i think this is a create game with a good stories to explore. A somewhat improved combat system compared to the first game. It is totally worth the money and if you like the first game you most likly will enjoy this one.

An imperfect but quality modern RPG

Divinity OS2 is by far one of the best RPGs to have come out in recent years, rivaling with The Witcher 3 in terms of world design and effort put in. The combat is satisfying and there a number of options to approach combat, all of which can extremely effective. However there are many flaws to the game itself, and the most pertinent I have found is that while encounters (battles essentially) in Act 1 are very well balanced and polished, Act 2 relies far more on gimmicks to defeat players. Worse yet, many enemies begin to get arbitrarily inflated stats that you as a player cannot compete with. A key example of the stat inflation is one that ties to initiative. WITS is the attribute that defines your initiative. For players, it looks something like this: 20 Wits + 5 initiative (gear) = 25 initiative. On NPCs in act 2, it looks like 25 ("base") + 15 wits = 40 initiative. Or 50 at times. There is literally no way for one to compete against said initiative. It's not every enemy and typically those enemies that do have that initiative don't have Total Party Kill gimmicks, but it's still there. Stat issues wouldn't be a problem if much of your stat bonuses did not come from one's gear, which is almost entirely RNG generated (more later). There is *scaling gear* drops in this game. A scaled armor at level 9 has double the armor values of scaled armor at level 6. Every level, weapon loot scales an entire interval higher in terms of raw damage. There's too much playing equipment upkeep instead of playing the RPG. While it's not completely difficult to make it through with top of the line gear, it's certainly a pain to having all your gear become outdated every single time you level up, and then having all the gear you find be completely RNG generated. It essentially boils down to getting lucky in order to get the right gear for your characters, but by the time you do, you've outleveled half of it, even though most of the stat bonuses remain the same.

Polish without polishing

I liked Divinity 1. The combat mechanics were super fun and the story quite intriguing - However I did not finish it because I felt it dragged on and the random difficulty spikes in places caused me some anxiety to actually start up the game (got around 80% through). Divinity 2 is everything Divinity 1 was except everything is cranked up to 11. The combat mechanics have an extra layer of complexity added with multiple interactions, some obvious and some not so much; the story is a bit more personal since you are not playing 2 characters (in solo play) but only one that gets a few friends along for the ride. The environments are more detailed, bigger and the graphics is much better. And this is the main theme of the game - BIGGER. I've spent 160 hrs in this game and I think there are still some things that I missed. The maps are enormous with multiple side-areas and loads of NPCs. It's very easy to get intimidated by the scale of it all. Everywhere you look there is something to do and see. There are hidden treasures, hidden events, hidden enemies. And if you've made the mistake of starting it on a higher difficulty like I did, you will walk very carefully. I do not recommend Tactician or Honor mode for a first play-through. The difficulty spikes have remained with some fights being absurd if you do not know the gimmick. And others just being absurd period. But there is a way (I did finish the game and I'm not very good at min/maxing); it's just steal, cheat, grief and dodge your way through it all. Not noble, but a lot of fun. I also recommend trying some mods. People have found fixes to a lot of the complaints and ways to make the whole experience better overall. Problems? The crafting system is bloated and mostly useless, there are some hilarious and some less hilarious bugs that tend to pop up when you least expect it, and for a lot of the mid to late fights the whole screen gets filled with effects making it difficult to figure out what exactly is going on.

Good game with few flaws. I'd recommend

This game is fun! You go around with your adventuring party talking to NPCs, fighting monsters, uncovering secret treasures and completing quests. The dialogues are intriguing, the world is big and open to exploration, and the combat system is fun and challenging. If you like high fantasy RPGs this is the game for you. I was disappointed by the blatant sexualization of the female characters' art design. Please stop with the boob armor and chain mail bikinis. I want my female heroes to look as badass as their male counterparts. The inventory system was quite a chore. I'd recommend using or losing any items as they come, otherwise you'll end up with a ton of dead weight in your pack. The camera was also kind of annoying. While it is a nice idea in principle that you could rotate the camera and see things from different angles, in practice it's just annoying and not at all preferable to your standard isometric view. The movement of everything felt very "slow". When I tried to drag character portraits, skills or items in my inventory it usually took a long while for the game to respond. The ending, after the final battle, was rather anti climatic. It looked like there was going to be a big montage detailing how your actions affected the world and the people you met along the way. But instead I got only a few underwhelming tidbits. Despite those few flaws, I warmly recommend you play this game.
