Great game but overly long and tedious

So I've put over 40 hours into this game, and from what I can tell, I still have another 20 hours or so of story content to go. I'd really like to play this game through to completion, but with so many other games to play, and with this taking up so much time I decided to put it on hold for a while. Here's what I can say about the game though. It offers a fair amount of player choice in how you can approach various situations and resolve quests. The thing about this game that the developers always seem to be trying to highlight through gameplay is the elemental magic system and how it interacts with the environment. Given various elemental conditions you can freeze, burn, shock and poision enemies and also buff and debuff NPCs. It's a great, really innovative way to approach combat, and the level of player interaction with the environment is really something to see. But I started to feel at times like the developers were a little too proud of themselves with this, as there's certain combat scenarios where you essentially have to use the environment in a certain way in order to resolve the combat, and I found that a little annoying. Also, although I hear the sequel is much better, the storyline in this game fell a little flat for me. There's a lot of corny, wacky humor for one thing, which I'm sure some people will really enjoy, but I personally didn't care for, and then the main plot and setting seem very much like just by the numbers low fantasy tropes, and the story is mostly explained to you rather than you discovering it as you go or really interacting and affecting it. Overall, I think this is a great game and definitely one worth checking out if you're a fan of top-down cRPGs, but after a while, I was getting so tired of battle after battle, and it was taking up so much of my time, that I decided that the story wasn't really worth pursuing all the way to end, although I thoroughly enjoyed the time I did spend playing the game.

Interesting RPG

I don't give it 5 stars as it is a little slow, and it doesn't grab me well enough to really get into it, but it is decent. I will go back to it in a bit and pick up where I left off. Maybe I am not far enough into it yet? I am in the town near the beginning. I seem to be spending an awful lot of time looking in baskets and whatnot which may account for the slow pacing. I saw reports of a launcher with DRM. My version doesn't have that. Maybe that is a Windows thing? I am running it on Linux.

Essential play

I’ve beat Divinity: Original Sin 2 twice before playing this game, and that has definitely influenced my experience — but not in the way I expected. I thought I was going to be frustrated by the lack of certain improvements found in the sequel or overall less interested in the world after spending 200 hours in it in the last few years. But it was actually the opposite. Having the benefit of playing the Enhanced Edition many years after the original release date, I found DOS1 to be surprisingly polished and friendly. Almost everything I loved from the sequel was here, albeit different. I even preferred some aspects here, like combat, which is less complex but also less chaotic and more immediate (the armor system of the sequel is a choice). The story also benefited from the narrower focus. It doesn’t have huge twists but it’s intriguing and engaging, with memorable characters and a neat Homestead you can come back to after lengthy quests for a bit of a breather. Overall, I found DOS1 an essential play for DOS2 fans — not because it’s necessary to understand or enjoy the sequel (it’s actually the opposite), but because it’s just as good. Play it before, after, it doesn’t matter — but play it!

Great game

Story and quests are made with love. The battle system is fun, understandable, offers a huge variety of tactics, but is not limiting you or overwhelming you. I have seen no bugs so far. If you can grab it discounted it is 100% worth the money.

Inferior to the Sequel, Still a Fun RPG

If the second game never came out, this would be 5 stars in my arbitrary scoring system. And even though you can totally skip this game and play Divinity Original Sin 2 right away, I wouldn't recommend doing that at all. This first game delivers an incredible RPG experience with some of the best turn-based combat you'll come across. There's tons of different spells, abilities and skills/builds to choose from. The story's a lot of fun and NPCs are very entertaining. Plus literally all dialogue is fully voiced. The crafting system is a bit of a mess and isn't an important feature, but I think it was intended to be a fun side activity to indulge in while you equip your characters and plan out their builds. The companions/recruitable NPCs are sort of unremarkable and lacking a grand story, but serve well enough as interesting'ish party members to have during your adventure. Divinity Original Sin 1 is a fantastic RPG that performs great, won't crash at all, and will get you hooked on its addicting combat.
