Sure, not all of the voice actors are amazing, but very few stick out as aggressively bad and the experience as a whole is fantastic. The Narrator does a brilliant job, in particular, commenting on things unspoken between the characters. If you’re not blown away by that, remember that this is a gigantic RPG with more dialogue than you can shake an undead finger at. Every single line of dialogue has voice acting. The environments feel so incredibly lively, thanks in large part to the voice acting. Regardless, the feeling of “Ohh, now I get it! That makes sense!” is exciting no matter when or where it shows up. Others, like sneaking, could certainly use a strong introduction to properly equip the player. Most of these, like crafting, are straightforward and feel natural to discover. Even certain mechanics are barely explained, if at all, leaving it up to the player to figure out. I love the feeling of discovering things on my own. This often left me with less experience than I should have, since there’s no XP reward for successful persuasion checks.ĭivinity: Original Sin 2 definitely doesn’t hold your hand, which has more upsides than not. As with almost every RPG I play, I tried to avoid most combat situations using persuasion when I could. It’s also important to pick battles wisely, as entering into a battle with enemies just one level higher can mean a quick party wipe. Many battles do have some sort of “catch” that makes them feel different than previous fights, but oftentimes it feels as if some battles are meant to be attempted twice, since knowing specific conditions beforehand makes them way easier. For example, if an enemy has 100 physical armor and 20 magic armor, it is in the player’s best interest to lay down some magic damage in order to kill that enemy quickly. This has a huge impact on how players approach fights. At that point, all damage will impact health directly and status effects will go through.
Armor absorbs damage and resists status effects of its type (physical or magic), until it reaches zero. These act as a sort of buffer for the character’s health pool. Each piece of equipment comes with physical armor, magical armor, or both. Moving, taking actions, or using skills all requires AP, forcing the player to really plan out every move in order to be efficient.Īnother change to the combat is the armor system. Instead of being able to stack a ton of AP and go nuts, DOS2 restricts every character to 6 AP maximum, though there are skills that allow certain characters to gain AP during their turn. Characters attack in turns, and turns are restricted by Action Points (AP). Combat works the same as its predecessor, but with a few new twists.
