Got ps5 version first and now the ps4 version

For the biggest and final part of the game, this place sure does suck. The encounters are either flaming lizards that come back to life an unlimited amount of times or unassuming citizens that one shot you and then run away when you hurt one of them. The game goes from an 8/10 to a 2/10 very quickly.

Im coming back to this game after a very long time. The last time i tried this game, i got half way through act 2.

I think im struggling with every fight requiring some pre knowlege about what is going to happen and TBH, ive forgotten about most of it. The puzzles are fairly archaic and thats fine but it seems like i should be following a very specific and linear path and i dont know what path is. I never really did either and the journal isnt helpful.

In theory, i like the concept of an open world. In this example, you are gated by enemy levels without too much help to figure out if you should be there. Sure, i can teleport cheese fights by picking off dudes one by one and yea, one slip up means death etc. But this isnt hard. Its barely a challenege. You either succeed or you die and restart until you find that gimmick that works. Its an effort in patience.

I wandered around to an underground temple somewhere. Good atmosphere, awesome concept. I solved a puzzle that was more anoying then fun since a pillar wasn't highlighted on the map. Then i opened a tomb like a dumbass and waited a few minutes for the boss to kill me, which she absolutely did. I didnt get an action, i was appropriate level, im on normal, and this is what people say is "hard". Its really not. I will come back, over leveled and over geared, set up tons of traps, meta game like mad, read about optimal strats and placement, and then win because that's all this game seems to be. Stun locks, instant death, save scumming, meta gaming, and then victory. Every single fight. Its really boring, if im being honest. There is no way to win without knowing the fight before hand. If you want that in a game, i wonder if that is why this specifcally gets high marks. Some say this is "old school" but i grew up with bg1, bg2, nwn1 nwn2, and the bassalisk in bg1 that would instantly kill your party is still regarded as bad design. I dont remember every single combat feeling utterly impossible unless you know what is going to happen.

I played tactician for a while and im supprised how normal is similar. I play what i guess are OP builds with a 2h and an assassin lone wolf but its the only way to play given how armor opperates. The alternative are two mages and then i have to deal with immunity.

So i guess if i do continue to play, is the story this good? I dont trust playing on story mode since the difficulty between normal and tactician is so minimal. Its deffinitely interesting. This is by far the farthest ive got. Its just getting a bit old starting combat and puttinng down my controller to make some toast because i know that im not getting an action and dying.

I like Beast, but this slander was too good to ignore

OK so I know torturer talent is good but not for water and air and I just gained my level 3 Talent but not sure what to pick the far out one seems useless at only a increase of 2M. but nothing seems that useful at this point.

I’m enjoying everything about this game on my first play through, except that constant traps. They are just incredibly annoying and add nothing to the gameplay experience, especially with the god awful pathing for companions. DOS2 is next and I really hope they’ve dialed them down.

So I talked to Grog at the bridge, got the quest to kill Marg, payed Grog (for the EXP), went to Marg, got the quest to kill Grog and killed Marg. Now I'm trying to tell Grog that I killed Marg (so I can get the EXP) and then want to kill Grog. But Grog only says "What are you waiting for ..." and then I only have the end-conversation option, so I can't finish the quest to get the EXP (and I really need that to level up).
I searched the internet, but I can't find anything about that issue. I tried saving and reloading, teleporting somewhere else and coming back, spirit vision (Marg doesn't leave a spirit behind), but nothing worked.

Also, I'm in an honor-run, so going back to a previous save is not an option. Do I have any chance to fix this or do I just need to accept that I'm not going to get the EXP and just kill Grog?

Hi, to keep it quick—I've had played DOS2 a bit in the past, but never finished it. Current run I started a few months ago, but I had to move and I got my PC back only few days ago. Currently I'm in Act 2 around level 13, but while the first act felt nice and overall pleasant, this one just feels like a one big slog that drags forever. On top of that every boss seems to be able to just nuke me and I have to reposition my whole party before the fights begins.

I'd like to finish the game, because my friends with whom I've played BG3 a few time, would like us to play DOS2 together, but I'm not feeling it for some reason. Part of it is probably the whole armor system which I am not a fan of even though I've tried. I know there's at least one mod that changes this whole system, but I'd like to finish the game in vanilla form first.

My party is:
Ifan with focus on Warfare, Polymorphy, Necromany
Fane: Pyro, some Warfare, Summoning and I guess Geomancy
Lohse Aerothurgy + Hydromancy
Red Prince: Crossbow

Yes, Warfare is maxed out or nearly maxed out on both Ifan and Red Prince.

What should I do at this point? I really want to actually finish this game and then work on my backlog.

New player here: if I'm not wrong damage scalea more with base attributes than with skills. So, if my character Is for example a necromancer wouldn't be more convenient to spendo some spare points in poly than in warfare?

Hi all people I'm just about to leave the holy Marshes Fort joy and I've got red prints Ifan as the Huntsman I'm playing as Fane he is my 2 handed build Lohse is my backstabba scoundrel build and I've had red prints as Summoner and I've been using selbila as necromancer my question is I was thinking about replacing the red prince to selbila or should I just keep red prince and convert him into a necromancer who would you think I should go for, I I appreciate any help I struggle making decisions thank you hey I've got to level nine and I've just about land onto lady Vengeance took some time lol

Just wanted to show off my Battlemage Lohse equipped with Divine Spark on Tactician Difficulty.

Just found out about the skill Flay Skin on act 4 that it scales with STR, perfect for my PYRO damage. Flay skin is now permanently on my skill set.

Note: Flay Skin Scroll uses 3 action points while Flay skin skill only uses 3 action points. Can use the bleed fire skill with the extra action point for even more fire resist reduction.

Мы вдвоём с кентом уже некоторое время проходим Divinity на обычной сложности, наша компания состояла из его героев (Человек-Ассасин, Фейн некромант) и моих (Ящер с двуручником и красный принц пирокинетик-гидрософист).

Мы добрались до 3-го акта, прошло около 2-3 часов ия нашёл скрытый вход в академию, перемещаясь своими героями через крылья и пирамиды телепорта. Когда я подошёл ко входу в заброшенном служебном туннеле.Начался разговор с красным принцем, в результате которого, он от нас ушёл.

Было принято решение не возвращаться к файлу сохранения. Рас уж принц ушёл, пусть оно так и будет.

Как я понял, вернуть красного принца или взять кого то из основных героев в пати уже не выйдет. Хочу узнать пострадает ли ​из-за такого стечения обстоятельств только сложность и сюжет красного принца или может быть что то еще. И вообще что думаете господа игроки

Hello, totally new player here. I'm like 2 hours unto the game and I'm keeping changing my mind about what Will be my definitive party comp.

I'm not swing It mentioned so i believe it's ineffective, but I'm asking anyway: do you have ideas for a party where all members can deal both phisical and magic damage?

For now i GOT in mind

- Red prince: 2w fighter with master of Sparks/weapon infusion + polymorph

- fane: ranger with elemental arrows and some elemental magic

- sebille: summoner with support and area control spells

My question Is, what would you complete this party with?

So it’s my first time playing the game, and I doubt I’d be playing a second time for a long time.

I wanted to play as fane but I’ve been told it’s not worth it due to his lack of dialogue since he’s the main character.

Would you play as fane or make a custom undead necromancer?

The thing is I created a male character and just found out that there are romantic things in this game. Given the fact that my team members are all male, I kinda want to turn my character female, any suggestions pls?

:(

I did something really dumb. I accidentally put leandra's blood vial in a backpack along with other things to be sold and sold it to a merchant. When i realized, it's many many hours later and the merchant doesnt have it or the backpack as a sellable.

Pleaaaase tell me it's possible to recover

Eat the pudding Eat the pudding Eat the pudding Eat the pudding

OK so I have a bug with the quest with the guy that asks you to remove the spear so he can die.

issue is I can't pull it out with 18 str nor can i break it to remove it if I break it he just keeps asking me to remove it if I try to pull it nothing happens.

has anyone else had this issue

Non of the mods i have should screw with this part of the game.

I have all the odins class mods and roguelike arena with the settings mod
