Topic: Divinity Original Sin 2

so, I am finally booting this one up today. Are there any beginner pointers or guides out there that I should read before I jump in and mess up..lol

I had to give up on the Switch version. There's a bug where enemy moves start taking like a minute to process. Tried reinstalling etc but the problem persists. It's a shame, because the port is otherwise a great way to play the game.

@Crispe Are you sure? I finished the game like a week or two ago and had no such issues.

@AndyD you could always look for online builds such as this one:

this site has loads of guides. My top recommendation though? Don't be scared to use "Lone Wolf". It's a talent you can pick to reduce your party size to gain advantages. If the game is a bit overwhelming at first, you can try picking it up.

@Dusk Yeh I haven't read the issue happening to anyone else so its a shame. It got real bad at one of the fights in the cemetary in chapter 2. Even reloading an earlier save and making my way to the fight again led to the same problem.

@Dusk Thanks for piping up. Was worried after reading the comment by @Crispe. I bought the physical edition, but I guess I’ll just have to hope I don’t meet any game-crushing bugs.

Got to actually start playing first, though. I’m looking forward to it, but The Witcher III is just so long! After 100hrs, I’m still only about halfway. Might be a while before I start another long WRPG this year. When I do, it’ll be Divinity: OS2.

@Krull It is an absolutely awesome game, so I'll cross my fingers that you don't get my bug!

@Krull Divinity OS 2 is absolutely a must so it's a great choice.

I haven't played the Witcher 3 yet, still waiting in my backlog. (along with 50 other games)

@Dusk @AndyD @Crispe I didn't have the long enemy movement issue either, although I'm still pretty early in the game. ~15 hours in. I initially started out with a full party, but being a newb, I found it very overwhelming trying to manage everyone. I switched to a Lone Wolf party which has been much more fun and straightforward. If I ever finish this game, Witcher 3 is next on my list, well after Xenoblade, and other unannounced games...

@NotoriousWhiz Lone Wolf Playthrough - best playthrough, really.
Though you might want to increase the difficulty at some point (you can use the gift bag mods, no need for actual replay)

Lone Wolf is a solid build for sure. But I also recommend a party of 4 for the first playthrough as some of the party member quests and conversation options are great.

Very important, really. and if you're going lone wolf, at least pick two origin characters and not custom ones

This game is awesome! Already put 25 hours into it. Not sure I do the best choices all the time, but hey... The game really rewards you for paying attention to the dialogues and lore, but it also lets you be a real a-hole if you want to. 😋 But I try to be civil as long as possible. Playing as Ifan, and having The Red Prince, Fane and Lohse as supporting characters. Just received the Purging Wand, so it's time to help the Seekers and leave this place!

Missed the LRG pre-order, but luckily a Swedish online retailer are importing and selling many of the LRG titles new and sealed, including Divinity 2. It was a bit expensive, but worth it.
