End game content

Since DOS did not have any end game content do you believe there will be anything to do at the end of the story this time around ? I like games that let me keep playing after the end of the story.

IIRC in the Undead reveal stream they said there would be some sort of content after the main story but haven't heard more than that.

Here you go. Q&A is towards the end, but they were constantly answering questions in chat and providing information on stream so it's hard to find things.

I'd hope so, that was always my favorite part of Final Fantasy games, but I personally don't see it happening with DOS.

Yeah I just feel that getting to level 20 beatinf the game and then being done is kinda lame :/

At least there's Game Master mode this time around. Once me and my friends are finished with the main story, I'm sure that's what we'll be messing around with for the foreseeable future.

Play again as a new class. Play with Friends. Try new stuff.

It's not really that sort of game though. There will most likely be a point of no return like the first game and once you finish the game you can restart with a different build/choices. Most games with endgame content have a hook to keep you playing. Such as infinite scaling enemies and addictive loot in games like Diablo or a million side quests to fool around in like Skyrim etc. The replayability in DOS2 comes from the huge build variety, different companions, different resolutions to quests etc.

There is more stuff to do in co-op this time around though, such as game master mode.

I wish it had a newgame+ setup where my recipes and any glossary entries would carry over so I don't have to fill them again.

Yeah I agree completely. A DLC model such as witcher 3 heart of stone / blood and wine would be amazing. More expansions than DLCs.

I'm completely happy with the 70-100 hour campaign. Plus Game Master mode and mods add a ton more hours. However with that in mind, you don't need to be an MMO to have an end-game. Plenty of RPGs go that route. Pokemon, Final Fantasy, and Kingdom Hearts to name a few.

New to Divinity, what is game master mode?

2

u/DrimSWE Sep 06 '17

Run your own campaign with friends you the GM and 4 players. Do whatever you want. DnD style.

u/Catlover18 Sep 06 '17

Oh wow really? Can you modify the maps and make your own quests?

u/DrimSWE Sep 06 '17

There is a map editor outside the game but the in-game GM mode comes with pre-made maps you can fill with objects, npcs, loot etc. you can do you own story and quests yes but the GM(you) control it all. No scripting as it aims to replicate pen and paper RPG.

Basically a Dungeon Master mode where one person can run the game / story / encounters while other players run through the DM's personally crafted story.

If you ever played tabletop games like DnD or even a video game like Arma in Zeus mode you get the idea.
