Last thread on page 13, i think we need to keep up the discussion a little bit, if you don't mind.
Reminder to not use MMS on your first playthrough. One MMS added monster run out to kill magister's hostages in black pits on top of the mountain before i arrive there. And i see magisters executing dead acid corpses. And its not the first time it throws quest characters into the battle.

Welp, 10 years handholding made it's fucking toll on me. I just walked into a fucking high-level deathtrap. Namely the Oil-field.
Those oil-voidling werent so bad first, but then the fire-ones just fucking turned the WHOLE map into a fucking lava pit!!! Took me a whole IRL day to turn things into my benefit. I lured the reds and the void-monster in the middle of the map with Ifan (my only living party member). Solid 1 hour npc in-fight and the whole place is filled with burned bodies and smoke, like a fucking ricefield after a napalm attack.
Did i mentioned i fucking love this game?

That fight was frightening. Trying to keep the friendly NPC alive was a nightmare. I'm playing with a friend and we're going to retry the fight (last time we got murdered by the fire voidlings because he was our only damage but he was full pyro), this time hopefully saving the NPC. That being said;

I thought that fight was going to be dreadful for me, but it turned out better than expected. I was pyro/geo with a fire wand, in a party with a summoning/hydro support, a sword-and-board melee, and an archer. I could do literally nothing to those guys, and the hydro only had a couple offensive moves while her summons struggled through the necrofire. My melee had Bouncing Shield and little else for range while sitting on that platform, so in the end three of us had almost no way to help outside of a few buffs. It was three people casting Haste, Encourage, Bless, and Peace of Mind while Ifan's bow did all the real work.
I won on the first try, and it "only" took 40 minutes, but I can't say I was expecting that outcome for most of the fight.
The NPC wasn't a problem for me. He just stood there and threw daggers. At one point he started walking through necrofire trying to get in melee range, but I teleported him back and he didn't try again.
The first thing I did after cleaning things up and looting was to travel back to the ship and respec from geo to aero.

How about entire building and whole "pit" location around it turning into giant arena not fit into a single screenshot to show, filled only with necrofire and fire-resisting voidwoken? The game lagged so much, that even after battle has ended, the game it struggled to clear the remaining necrofire. Majestic 1 fps per second experience.

4a1968 No.13627759
>>13627698
Armor is divided between three main types as far as i counted - finesse requiring one, physical armor based and magical armor based. Levelup finesse i guess, if you want a build with finesse armor to be profitable get mod Scoundrel Unlocked to use Scoundrel skills without dagger, and with two handed sword.
You can still use finesse armors, but they usually contain characteristic benefiting to only archer/rogue types of characters. With the mod i mentioned it would be more balanced to make a light armor two handed guy. You would put points into warfare and scoundrel then. In normal game it would be a little bit inefficient build and you would not get bonuses from finesse just on warfare skill tree.

I've gotten up to the part where I'm going after some witch in a cave to save a dragon, and I'm a mix of confused and unimpressed. I'm confused over the difference between "source" magic and normal magic. It seems like the same shit to me. Why have two seperate kinds of magic if they're the same thing? Why is every single character both melee and magic? Where is the variety in combat and why kill it this way? Why does any attack net you 20 dmg while the enemy can knock your shit in with 40 dmg and a status hit? If the enemy will hit you harder regardless of what you do, why then spam the field with more enemies than you can handle, forcing you to turn to summoning when summoning isn't something you want to do, let alone anything you planned to do during the character creation screen? Where are all the healing items and why does it take so long for spell cooldown? Why does leveling up afford you so little points to up your stats on? Where is the scaling? And back to the witch and dragon, why is there a witch and dragon? We're already on an island where the prisonkeepers are the necromancers, how many more powerstruggling entities do we need, and why need them if they don't actually involve themselves in any kind of power struggling? And why are you allowed to kill the witch who didn't just sink your boat but was also the entire opening of the game itself?
>give her the opening
>set up her story
>oh no, she killed dozens of people and your boat
<nvm, here she is on the beach and somehow one of the weakest characters on the island
????????????
So I don't know, I considered restarting the game, went back and actually made the type of character I wanted instead of trusting the preset, but now I'm disinterested, don't know if I want to go through it all over again. Maybe I missed something, tho if I didn't then it'll just be a repeat of this feel. I could push ahead, except now I seem to have killed everything I'm able to kill and everything that's left is still out-leveling/out-powering/out-numbering me in every encounter. What even is the point.
What's even better is, when I tried to see if I was the only loser having problems with this game, I ended up finding conversations where people were giving advice of breaking the game to deal with fights instead of winning legit. So, again, what even is the point?

No, I want a fucking explaination on how much sense it is to get a whole religious order's panties in a twist when you still allow your prisoners the means to cast magic to harm you with. Not only that, but you shove them on the island, with a plan of turning them into walking corpses or crucified insta-death for what reason, exactly? Allowing them to create a functioning town, to explore the underground cavers freely, and to have zero supervision to the point where they create their own independent haven where they can break the mechanisms you're using to keep them under control? Mechanisms that don't render them harmless to begin with? What?
>Finish the tutorial island faggot! You can respec, anything anytime from anywhere after that!
Oh yay, I get to look forward to looking forward to something I didn't know was there.

You fucking read me, why is there a witch and a fucking dragon? Where does this shit come from? An island as a prison colony, and nobody ever took notice, sailing around, that there was a fucking dragon? All I could wonder is how common dragons could possibly be that literally none of my characters gave a shit to see it. The magistrates hate one specific kind of magic but not all magic and not deadly flying dragons and their necro masters, yeah, all of this makes so much sense. Truly wondrous world building, what they needed to do was cram more shit on the tutorial island. I can't wait to get onto the mainland to see how much more shit they can possibly cram into a yard of space.[/sarcasm]

>The magistrates hate one specific kind of magic
Because source magic attracts voidwoken. You know, like how the first time you see someone use the shit and giant fucking kraken sinks the ship and kills everyone. They want to avoid that because they believe that's the only way to stop the voidwoken from fucking shit up.

Okay retard here is it:
It's a newly made prison island, because just before that it was an outpost to guard the shit of the big bad Barcuss Rex. after you arrive to Fort Joy you can chat with the reds, and nearly every of them give a little bit of info about the island history. Of course (character wise) you can point out how it's stupid, and you found out what they do with the prisoners but that just the first half of the truth!
When you finally leave the Fort you start to explor Barccus old places. Founding out the whole island is an experient ground for twisting the Source, which is god magic, blood of the gods. It's a first hard to understand clever mechanism which prevent you from going too OP with the super mass destruction spells or abuse the insta win spells. This is why you need to collect Source points. It's like the super potions and scrolls from the 90's. Pretty fun, when you bump into something deadly by accident (you will inthe main island, if you just roam foward like a retard (like me). The whole story will arround that how you open up more stuff for this power, like more points, more unique spells - not just your empowered basics, which will gave some flavour to the game (in combat and outside of combat).
About the Island: The Big Bad Rex made a few twisted shit and the red's abuse them. The point is in reality the Reds are abused by a (lets just leave this for you to found out)
>What the dragon and the witch do here?
Barcuss is gone, so his toys are (nearly) unguarded. The reds are unable to controll the whole island because its a fucking deathtrap and an experiment ground. See the Seekers who can live there without a problem. The dragon is a prisoner (do the quest and you found out his true form) and a witch is a relic hunter (came for the roses).

No, its used in relation to jews because pogrom is a russian word, and hardly used in english for anything except another jewish holocaust in russia. Eh anyway, we're playing as GOD'S CHOSEN after all. Whole Raanaar culture of eternals is inspired by judaistic looking shit.
So "pogrom" against sorcerers is not really surprising.

No, it's become genericized into persecution in general. Like how holocaust can be used in ways other than the Holocaust (e.g. nuclear holocaust), except far more broad. I've heard the term in non-Jewish contexts more often than talking about the actual historical pogroms.

That dwarf fight isn't so bad since it's not cheesing per se. You just have to fight normally, but focus entirely on him and ignore the other enemies, and he'll go down naturally before he can transform.
With Adramahlihk you mostly have to plan the entire encounter around nuking him in the very first turn.

It's not always necessary. Sometimes you don't need it and it just makes it less obnoxious. When I did that quest I had no issue with fire in the walls; it was just tedious as hell.
It is unreliable to just use Bless though, given how many people have problems.
And the mod to remove the Source cost of Bless is near-mandatory. Apparently it was like that in development and was only changed shortly before release, meaning the game was mostly designed around Bless being free, and I don't consider it a cheat. Between fights like this and all the times it comes up in dialogue, I think it makes more sense to only cost AP and not SP.
>>13640597
Worst comes to worst, respec to max sneak, get to the safe area in the garden without starting combat, drop a pyramid, warp to the Vengeance and spec back, port to the pyramid, and continue on the quest.

If you don't take Red Prince you will end up killing everyone involved in his quests, this is the character with the most amount of companion quests. Pet Pal on at least one character is a must. Luck gives amazingly good equipment, barter is a must to level too. Persuasion is heavily stat depended. But the really important bit is that the builds in the game are very different in their tiers, pyromancy is broken as hell, and necromancy is underwhelming. So if you suck a lot maybe you should respec/try making different build. You can respec freely on a ship after leaving fort joy.

Holy fucking balls i am stupid. Also 3 out of 6 available endings can be chosen from the very fucking end like in any modern rpg. I guess the other 3 are siding with Dallis, God King or Adramahlihk, which is just being a bitch.

Eh, i am fine wish it, i've seen divinity ending as a proper continuation of the story. You become some sort of warhammer's God Emperor and lead mankind, elves, lizards and dwarves into fighting Chaos - the void. Which will continue later in the story as it should.

I'll give you that these characters obviously have a habit of coming back no matter what, so simply the fact that Lucian "dies" at the end of OS2 in the other endings isn't enough to say for sure that they can't be canon, but that does make it considerably less likely.

Item requirements are never very high. I'm thinking 14 is the highest stat you need for level 20 stuff? Point is you can easily wear strength or finesse gear on an int-based character. In fact you probably SHOULD, because you are going to need some of that physical armor.
You should also probably be dipping into a couple of spell schools with your melee character. All of them really have at least a couple of spells that could be really useful. Not that you should dip into every one because you simply don't have enough AP or memory to make use of it all, but they aren't just pointless wastes no one will use.

Having read up on the timeline, official statements from the developers and visited Cranley Huwbert, I've come to conclusion that Original Sin 2 MUST take place after Divinity 2, as it simply cannot take place before it.
The 'death' of Lucian was after Damiens return from his banishment.
The statement from developers; "Can you meet young Damian? No, this is just before Beyond Divinity, he's still stuck in Nemesis." Not only is it contradictory, since Lucian only dies after Damians banishment ended, the statement was made back in 2015, when the game still had not been written, making the statement irrelevant.
We also have paintings portraying Zandalor and Arhu finding Lucian after he was banished by Damien (as found at the end of vanilla Divinity 2) and we have a painting of Damiens heart pierced by a sword, which is not how he was banished to Nemesis.

If it was really the Dragon Knight, he'd get more references in the game than just a single painting.
I mean, "bringing the Divine back from the Hall of Echoes" and "killing Damian's witch bitch" makes for quite a resume, so, assuming OSII is set after Divinity II, it's literally impossible for there to be so little(or none, if that's not the DK in the painting) Dragon Knight worship.
Even the Source Hunters from the first OS got a mention in dialogue, after all. The only ways they could avoid referencing an entity that had such a great impact on recent history is by setting OSII before Divinity II or outright retconning the latter.

Its overrated because there's nothing like it on the market. This game in particular could be the only right right way of CRPG genre to evolve into next gen.

I plane to make a second walkthrough, but with a mod which allowe every companion to join in my MC's journey. I know some games (like the garbage which Bethesda makes) pretty much get broken with multiple companions. Is this a valid danger in D:OS2 too?
- As far as i know most decent rp games slipt the xp between companions so a large group can't go into to OP. i hope this rule is exist in this game too! Can someone confirm?
- As far as i experienced most quest is connected one-way or another. Like the Red Prince first request and the edgy elf woman request with the lizard dreamer. Could this lead to a problem with a large group?
- Should or shouldn't i download the many-times-mentioned "increase the enemies" mod for challenge? Or the game still will provide enough challenge even for a large group?
- Kind of releated to the previous question, but which is better? Built in increased difficulty or a mod which increase the challenge?
Any helpful answer is very appreciate! Thank you guys!

My memory's a bit rusty, but I'm quite sure that's not what OS1 said.
I recall that Zandalor, along with the twin sisters, were all Sourcerers and some one of the few still-sane keepers of its secrets (before the younger one snapped, anyway.)
And Arhu? How can he be a descendant of Amadia and a human dude when he was originally a cat? Guy was a stray that hanged around the place where Braccus' sister — Cassandra — was locked up. She enjoyed his company and eventually used her Source powers to turn him human, after which they spent many days playing around with Source, strongly implying that he's a Sourcerer, as well.
Like, I'll concede that they don't age due to orthodox magic, but I'm not convinced that they aren't Sourcerers.

Everything really depends how good you are at the game, if you are good then having more than 4 people will make even tactician prob too easy without mods.

Thanks, but i'm pretty sure am still not enough good. I playing on "normal", most of my hard battles was won by witts rather than with raw strength. And stime to time i still make stupid moves, like attack rather than retreat and for better position.
Feeling myself forced to use my mind than just stomping everything is very satisfying. It's something which i want to keep even with a large party.

I bought the game a few weeks back, and haven't had the chance to play the last couple weeks. It seems there has been two updates since then. How fucked is my save?

Updates do not fuck your save. At worst it will nerf one skill that you were relying too much but nothing of that sort happened, instead we got buffs (like Reactive Shot) and fixes (like melees no longer hitting someone at 20meters above their head if they are hugging the wall).

It was first fun, but now it's really annoying.
I think it has something to do with the fact you futher in the game the load time just increase.
