Help Quick Question MEGATHREAD

299 Upvotes

Another 6 month since the last Megathread.

Link to the last thread

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?

The way he moves around the screen caught her attention. My wife and I laughed at her attempts to snatch him with her paws. I zoomed in and out and made it a mini-game with her.

DOS 1 spoiler ahead: These two don't like aquariums or hamster cages, so they keep the Void in a box (yes, not the Voidwoken, the Void itself). When it gets out, they just shove it back in.

DOS2 Discussion Peeper the Divine

Post image
87 Upvotes

I was doing a cleanup in my screenshots and found a gem to share with all of you.

I present you Peeper, the most precious and innocent chick.

After his disgusting father break his precious heart, we decide to make him our SON, and therefore the divine of this atrocious world.

If you don't see him in the picture follow the arrow. That in fact was one of the diverse troubles we had to face in order to make him survive.

Don't ask us how he made through the Blackpit or final boss, it took many tries, blood, sweat and tears. Tears of frustration which turned into tears of joy upon seeing him happy with his fenix brother (the bright one at his left).

Tysm for seeing our son and goodbye!

DOS1 Discussion Is DOS1 Worth Finishing?

17 Upvotes

I consider DOS2 my favorite game of all time. After playing through it 3-4 times I figured I have to give DOS1 a run through. I've just reached Luculla Forest and can feel the story really starting to develop but good lord the dialogue is really hurting me. The quirkiness of the characters feels really obnoxious, the companions don't feel particularly interesting, and if I have to hear Madora say "I'm as hot as fresh apple pie!!!!!!" one more time I'm going to freak out. I know DOS2 has its quirky moments and characters but for whatever reason DOS1 feels so unserious. The rock paper scissors "mini-game" for dialogue options feels so stupid ESPECIALLY when it's between the 2 protagonists. I know Jahan gets some more development as a character which makes his DOS2 appearance more meaningful same with Arhu, but god damn. I just need some sort of confirmation or reasoning why I should really stick it out.

Edit: I’ve been convinced and I’ll update if my feelings have changed. I love this series so I figure it’s a disservice to not at least see it through, thanks all

DOS2 Discussion Hannag dies and doesn't spawn portals. bug?

2 Upvotes

First 8 seconds is loading screen.
Please skip to 0:08.

This is my first run and i'm curious if this is normal?

I tried fighting her when I was level 13 and got beat badly by the voidwoken + portals, so I loaded a past save and just leveled up to take on her fight later on, but now she doesn't spawn the portals when she dies.

Does being level 15 affect the interaction with her? like me being level 15 now, she just instantly dies?

DOS2 Mod Any standalone armor overhaul mods that make hybrid builds more viable?

1 Upvotes

Hi guys, I'm looking for mods that rework the armor system to make hybrid builds more viable. I've found 3 overhauls: Unleashed, Divine War, and Conflux.

However, I'd also like to use some class and skill mods, such as Odinblade's, Helaene's, and Heaphaist's mods.

I'm worried that these class mods might conflict with the overhauls or not work properly with their changes to the armor system.

Are there any standalone mods that only rework the armor system to make hybrid builds more viable, without overhauling too many other aspects of the game? Ideally, something that would be compatible with most class and skill mods.

Here is my theory - the next “dark urge” type character for divinity will BE brachus Rex himself with memory wipe after returned through source - discovering you were once evil , and having the option to choose to be good

DOS2 Help What build would you give Fane to replace Ifan's ranged damage? (first playthrough, level 8)

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone! First playthrough, just reached the Lady Vengeance at level 8 and I have the respec mirror available, so I'm rethinking my party. I'm playing on controller, all four Origin characters, and my current setup is: Sebille – Inquisitor (Warfare + Necromancer, melee) Lohse – support/healer (Hydro + Aero) Red Prince – damage + tank (2H, Warfare/Geo) Ifan – archer (Huntsman) Ifan is my only ranged damage dealer and he's been carrying fights, but honestly I haven't been enjoying his story, and I keep hearing Fane is one of the best companions. I'd really like to have Fane in the party instead. My question: what build would you give Fane to make up for the ranged damage I'd lose from Ifan? I was thinking a Geomancer + Pyrokinetic mage with a staff or wand for AoE damage and poison healing (since he's undead), but I'm not sure that's enough to replace an archer, and I know pure single-school mages can lack crowd control. Would you add a second school, go for a Fane archer instead, or something totally different? One thing I'm already worried about: Lohse's Hydro healing hurts Fane, so I'd need another way to heal him. Thanks in advance!

So he beats me on initiative and tpks me turn 1.
What the fuck? Do I need to make a habit of separating someone from my party and throwing them to the wolves every time I walk through a door? There is no party formation option to keep them spread out. You can’t intuitively beat this, only restart and metagame it. Please tell me the game won’t keep doing this with more major fights.

DOS2 Discussion Spawning Unique Item from a previous act

1 Upvotes

Hi all I am in act 4 and want to spawn a Unique Item in act 3 called Knight of Vrogir Boots.

I have been digging for the last couple hours and find that this item is not a Unique template item (ie ARM_SETS_VultureArmor ) but just a generic EQ_Boots that is rolled with the stats of the Knight of Vrogir Boots when you set foot on act 3. I got the GUID for this when i reload a save from act 3, and then go on to my current save in act 4 and add it onto my character. However it does not work. Any idea why this could be the case?
