Sure, it’s looking like I didn’t make the best picks (do your research first, folks), but I 100 per cent believe every RPG should add this feature. When people join your party, you get to pick their classes on the spot! It’s a godsend.
But will I lose my whole entire shit if anybody ever so much as lays a hand on it? Abso-fucking-lutely. Is that last thing an ill omen? Probably. So far I’ve helped an extremely good boy find his lost love, been talked down to by a crab who’s a beach crab who’s an evil more powerful magic user than me, and met a black cat that just follows me around now. The original Divinity: Original Sin‘s “pet pal” talent is back, and it’s better than ever. Those are some of the bigger things I’ve really been enjoying about Divinity: Original Sin 2. He just wants to tear off people’s faces, wear them as his own, and gain their abilities in the process so that he can go about his business without people freaking out at him all the dang time. Don’t get him wrong, though: he bears the living no ill will. He just doesn’t fully understand why human/elf/dwarf/lizard person culture works the way it does, and death doesn’t really faze him because, well, he hasn’t been alive for quite some time. They do this not by wearing masks, but by stealing living people’s faces.įane, in my game, isn’t truly evil. In Divinity‘s world, everybody’s racist against everybody else, but all the races equally despise the undead, forcing them to hide their faces when they’re out in public. The last one has been especially pertinent to my playthrough thus far, because I decided to pick Fane, an undead human who basically just woke up from a centuries-long nap, as my character.įane was written by Planescape Torment‘s Chris Avellone, which means he comes with all manner of fun twists like the fact that everybody hates him. One of Original Sin 2‘s big new features is the addition of pre-fabricated characters with elaborate backstories and special dialogue options born of a “tag” system that gives you traits like “scholar,” “mystic,” and “undead.” But taking down Kniles was, for me, a matter more important than life or death it was a matter of role-play. I counted four or five potential ways to solve the main story problem of getting off the magical prison island that forms the game’s first major area, which ran the gamut from slaughtering everybody to sneaking to elaborate teleportation schemes.
In fact, I’m kind of excited.įor example, I’m pretty sure I didn’t even need to fight Kniles.
DIVINITY ORIGINAL SIN 2 RUBY FULL
While turning my valiant last stand into an episode of The Three Face-Mutilating Stooges, though, I have another realisation: I don’t mind that I’m likely headed for a full do-over. Is an enemy or object far away? Tentacle whip it! Wanna close the distance? Sprout bull horns and charge.Īnd while Original Sin 2 lets you branch out of your start class, levelling up is a slow process, and I’m hitting a wall. He’s a metamorph, which basically means he can turn his limbs into animal parts. It’s a big bummer, because I love my main character’s class in concept.
DIVINITY ORIGINAL SIN 2 RUBY SKIN
Kniles has beaten me multiple times by this point, and I’ve basically had to cheese my way through other battles, making it out by the skin of my teeth. I can’t stop laughing.Īs this unfolds, I know that my strategy isn’t reliable or sustainable, since enemies don’t slip on ice all that often, and that my doom is still inevitable due to my party’s general squishiness and glaring lack of a dedicated healer. I manage to slay a servant, so now they’re also doing their slapstick comedy routine on top of a corpse. The end result? Kniles and two of his servants keep tripping over themselves, right into bubbly morasses of green goop. Just for funsies, I also have my geomancer, an eight-foot-tall lizard man named The Red Prince, toss a few puddles of poison into the mix. Then I take advantage of the freshly-damp terrain with her blizzard ability, damaging clustered enemies and turning patches of nearby ground to ice. I have my enchanter, Lohse, start conjuring up rainstorms.
