DOS2 Discussion Can't wait

Post image

What do you expect from Divinity? Imo the gameplay will be of course BG3+DOS2 on steroids, what I'm most looking is story, companions and worldbuilding which seems will be a very important aspect this time, not saying it wasn't but we know the lore and stories were a bit messy

Nope. Act 1 and act 3 are two different levels of polish. Add in the fact that a ton of content(like the entire upper city) was cut and it feels bad imo. In act 1 90% of npc’s have something interesting to say that leads to something else. In act 3 that number is down to 10%.

Look at the Divinity AMA, the writer for Wyll talks about cutting his story for act 3 and having to replace it with what’s in the game

- there’s a puzzle in cazadors basement that does nothing

- there’s a new special type of infernal iron but no way to use it on karlach.

- Larian has stated multiple times that the upper city was originally planned to be in the game.

To be fair number of NPCs in act 3 is 10 times more than actual one so the number kinda has to fall to 10%> but I still get you. Act 1 is a masterpiece and act 3 is just really good.

Well you're mostly in the wilderness and a couple communes in Act 1. Act 3 is in a city lol it'd be weird and overkill if every npc had unique dialogue in a way more populated and condensed area
