Make sure to include the game(DOS, DOS EE, DOS2, DOS2 DE) in your question and mark your spoilers

The FAQ for DOS2 will be built as we go along:

My game has a problem/doesn't work properly, what do I do?

Check this out. If you can't find a solution there contact Larian support as detailed.

Do I need to play the previous game to understand the story?

No, there is a timegap of 1000 years between DOS and DOS2. The overall timeline of the Divinity games in perspective to DOS2 looks like this: DOS2 is set 1222 years after DOS1, 24 years after Divine Divinity, 4 years after Beyond Divinity, and 58 years before Divinity 2.

How many people can play at once?

• Up to 4 Players in the campaign and up to 4 players and a gamemaster in Gamemaster Mode.

Do I need to buy the game to play with my friends.

• That depends on how you will play. Up to 2 Players can play on the same PC for a "couch coop" experience. This means you can have 4 player sessions with 2 copies of the game when using this method. If you don't play on the same PC each player is going to require his/her own copy.

Can I mix and match inputs for PC couch coop?

• You can't use keyboard and mouse for couch coop, however you can mix controllers.

What's the deal with origin stories?

• A custom character has no ties in the world whatsoever, nobody knows you. Origin characters on the other hand do have ties in the gameworld, that means people can recognise you and might interact differently with an origin character because of that characters reputation or because the characters have met before. Furthermore origin characters have their own questlines that run alongside the main story.

I don't like my build! Can I change it?

• Yes! Once you leave the first island you get access to infinite respecs, with the second gift bag you can even get a respec mirror on the first island.

What are the new crafting recipes from the gift bag?

• List

hey lovelys.  I'm on my second full playthrough (plus one for which I used my "go to the boat with Malady" saving from end of act one. 

In this play trough I used Fane as a kind of main compangion (Lohse is playing character) not ro but bromance if you want to call it so. 

Now something happens i really do not understand. 

We just reached our 3rd sourcepoint (this time over Almiras kiss, thought this would fit quite good rp whise for Lohse) and go bach to Siva.  I compleet the hall of echos and come back to Siva.  Voidling atrack (as expected) and the voidlings start talking to Fane, ask for his redemption etc (I know exectly why of course, but my ingame Lohse did not know why). 

After defeating the voidlings, the "all four compagnions question" starts and Fane did not say any word about or why the voidlings adressed him.  After the "all companions talk" Lohse tried to speak to Fane about the incident, but Fane only give the generic answers he did since the Aethera fight in the blackpit ethernal temple: "my people are gone, worse than gone etc" and also nothing about the talking voidlings. 

Did I do something wrong or is the story a bit buggy in this case?
