First half was in early access for 8+ months. Devs kept improving the game based on feedback. Last part was supposed to be a surprise so it wasn't playtested by many people.

Moral of the story: early access works, sometimes.

D:OS 2 comes out of early access soon. That should be enough to fill the void you're looking for.

It's a good game but it's very much more about having fun designing character builds and figuring out combat tactics. The story isn't the focus, so if that's your big draw to jrpgs/witcher etc, it might not be something you like.

>>384914663
>incredibly easy
I hope you're exaggerating. It was hard enough that I'd expect most players would fail on the first try since they don't expect the worm. But I played on classic difficulty following the release of early access and there's been quite a few changes since then, including more skills, equipment and different AI. I hope it's not changed so much that it's 'easy'.

>>384915156

>>384915429
it was very easy. I struggled a lot with the early access (classic) and beat it with no trouble. The fight was actually hard before the worm appears, and then once the worm appears, the Magisters mostly ignore you and go for the worm. A lot of the turns was just me watching as the two sides attacked each other. Spoiler: the Magisters won, and I just cleaned up afterwards.

Alexander is actually really only hard if you go into his battle through the side door and not the front door. If you go in via his room, you can get swamped by the enemies, if you go in the front you can easily dispatch his two melee soldiers and that silent monk before the mages get in, and by then it's over.

Does the pace pick back up? How far into the game is that? Because I've played almost 30 hours. I also still haven't beaten Braccus, though. I noped away once he summoned all of the minibosses on the way to him.

I also haven't found the Twins Bound By Fire or whatever they're called.

>>384912286
I remember hearing something about them deciding on changing the main hub from the hall of echoes to a flying air ship, but it should still be a place you can visit. Dunno, though. Haven't been following it as closely, but that's the first thing I could think of.

Haven't touched early access because I inevitably lose interest in anything EA, and I really wanted to maintain my hype for this game until it's finished and released. Still very excited for it, especially now that game master mode seems to be a pretty good tool after all the disappointments of previous games that promised a feature like that.

>>384919901
Twins are found north east of the city. There is a massive fire area to explore and he is in there. As for the pace it picks back up once you get to the snow region.

They don't. They can literally fuck off and do whatever they want while you're talking to npcs and shit. DivOS1 had this, too, which led to some pretty ridiculous exploits where one player could trap an enemy in conversation while the other player would set up a fuck-ton of mines and traps around them.

So, serious question about me and my friend beign shitters:

Last time we played (months ago) was I think in the basement of the church where we fought a wombo combo of like 4 different bosses we had seen before. So far we have not been able to fight our way out of that.

What should we be doing? We just tend to get overwhelmed.

>>384920504
It can be really helpful sometimes. Animals give you hints on treasure/weaknesses for enemies.

>>384920504
Pet Pal gives you several quests, gives you a ton of useful advice, and lets you skip a boss.

>>384920504

I find it tends to completely fuck over mages. The one mage in my party was useless for offense because nobody else could destroy magic armor.

Magic has this weird catch-22 where you want to use spells on enemies to CC them once their magic armor is gone, but you don't want to use waste spells on enemies who still have magic armor because that negates CC.

>>384921415
I just cheesed it with the massive amount of teleport spells every class gets. Was there a reward for finishing the maze legitimately?

>>384921710
They probably drink a lot of milk.

>>384921327
Nope. There are spells that attack phys armor too and the point of that is so that different characters have different targeting priorities. Your caster might not be able to deal with the enemy aeromancer very well but they can shit on the melee guy with a third of the magic armor easily.

the problem is that mage auto-attacks are so weak you're dependent on spells to reduce magic armor, but then you run out of spells to CC enemies with once their magic armor is gone

I really wanted to like Divinity but the game kept doing annoying stuff that made me hate it.

I started in normal difficulty and I won battles without taking a single hit so I restarted in Tactician difficulty, now the battle were different which I thought was very good.

The problem was that the game went full retard and made it so during fights after a certain number of turns more enemies spawned out of thin air because "lol tactician"

I wanted to like how enviromental effects worked but I was confused by how they worked all the time, sometimes I would be in the middle of a raging fire but take no damage and when I tried to get out of it I would be lit on fire, other times I would throw a fire spell into a cloud of poison and instead of getting an explosion I would get fire on the ground and poison gas over it which made no sense.

The entire HUD was bugged, characters had different health bars on their portraits than on the action queue bar and even the order in which each character played was wrong on that bar because sometimes a character got stunned but when you helped them the game would skip their turn even when the bar said they were next.

The thing that made me drop the game was that during a TURN BASED fight I noticed that one of my characters suddendly was lit on fire while I was thinking about what to do, I noticed there was some sort of fire totem outside the fighting area and that it had a timer on top of it, every 10 seconds it would set one of my characters on fire which made no sense because this is a turn based game but this faggot totem kept setting my characters on fire while I was thinking about what skills to use FUCK.

They did what they had to do. Or would you rather they go full /d/ and give you a dwarf waifu with a luxurious, long and soft beard?

>>384907754
I'm inclined to agree.
I miss the original Divinity, with hack and slash combat in the original it was like a 2.5D TES game with a sense of humour.

You could pull off some really wacky shit - I know it was meant to be turn based, it it was just so much fun as a hack n slash.

It's why I really loved Divinity 2, but couldn't get into OS, it just never gave me that sense of free roaming wonder and humour.

I can really appreciate that OS was the game that they set out to make with DD, but I prefer what DD brought to the table.

Being Evil is usually seen as fucking edgy fucker cunt which most of the time, just annoy me to death, plus the rewards most of the time it's ALWAYS worse than doing the good thing.
Overlord is the kind of evil for me if you don't edgy mode but i still got pissed when i found out the good guys weren't actually good anymore, so you were a sort of good evil.

I usually play evil because good is super boring in most RPGs. The main exceptions being settings where everything's evil or fucked up anyway, then it's usually more fun to play good since they're less likely to get the best rewards and everything. The one main exception was Tranny where I wanted to be a loyal bad guy and couldn't.

Also couldn't fuck the weremilf which made me sad.

For what it's worth they're apparently adding a loyalist ending in a patch to the base game alongside the expansion. It'll probably just be "Overlord killz u lol bet u feel silly now" but who the hell knows maybe they'll unfuck the game.

It has other issues too but in a game they sold as "THE MOST CHOICE AND CONSEQUENCE EVER IN A DARK AND EVIL FANTASY SETTING!" the fact that you can't be a loyal baddy really fucking pissed me off.

i think they primarily implemented the physical and magic armor to counter the fact that alpha striking was the go to strategy in Original Sin 1, which led to encounters where the strategy primarily was in setting up the encounter rather than fighting it

In EE they can still teleport behind enemies and instantly kill them by midgame, spam hard CC like a motherfucker, and if nothing else is working, draw a bow and start spamming trick arrows. Not being the gods they were in the vanilla release doesn't make them bad.

This game sounds very intimidating with the amount of stuff you can do.

You were just bad. The only reason Rogues weren't the absolute best character type in the game was because of spellcasters having infinite invisibility + 5 different spell schools that all ran off of the same stat - doubling your damage via Guerilla for a mere 1 extra AP is huge.

>>384937692
Polymorph is a supplementary skill and has some extremely good skills. Skin Graft and Heart of Iron are excellent for any kind of character and they've got far more than just that.

Because, my little munchkin, TBS are not supposed to have trash mobs. Every fight should be life and death matter. At least on Tactician mode DivOS gets that right.

>>384940189
Among the current devs, they are the most silly, ironic writing on purpose, like Divinity 2 had the steoripic mage with a full robe/wizard hat with fucking stars draw on those but sometimes they manage to catch up off guard, like the ending of Divinity 2.
Fucking got baited by a sexy voice, freeing the actual evil that you were to supposed to seal and getting trapped into a cage inside the soul dimenstion where the chosen one (that one where you actually supposed to free), a legendary hero, literally welcomes you as you both guys enjoy immortality inside a glass cage with the mind as you both fucked up, hard.

The smart thing to do would be using common sense and not doing it, you're to exposed, its too suspicious, overall a very bad idea.
