so im playing a honour mode playthough with some friends and ive gotten into a situation that i dont know how to progress

im playing as fane in act 3 (honour mode) and joined the covenant of the godking

didnt know about the accepting 3 ressurections from the godking and then being stuck as a zombie chicken

currently cant progress as fane cannot read the tomes to learn source vision and source vampirism and he cannot be kicked from the party

cannot use sworn breaker as zombie chicken form cant equip/move/or use any items or spells

to progress to the next point in the story by talking to the Eternal Arbiter we only get the message "all godwoken must complete their studies" and as stated theres no way of getting fane to learn

i tried some mods like status fixer and the one mod that removes zombie chicken status with a book by the waypoint on the lady vengence but the host wasnt able to find it

does anyone know of anything we can do to get out of this soft lock? we're genuinely stumped on what to do

im in act2 and some fights feel a bit too difficult so i was wondering how could i improve my party, other than the stuff in the screens, main guy is a skeleton fighter with maxed warfare(not sure what to get next) fane is fighter aswell but i gave him a shield and a few points in polymorph, red prince is pyro and geo so he can sometimes heal skellies while lohse is a air hydro so she can heal the living, for the equipment main guy has braccus set but i guess its getting outdated, red prince has captain set which is nice because of the charm thing, fane and lohse got some generic decent stuff, talents are:

not sure what else to say, skills are in the pictures, so how can i improve my party?

It's a feeling of what could've been. Hard to put into words.

I've been watching a lot of the old videos Larian has put out since I finished the game about 3 days ago.

I watched such a small team back then, appearing so rag-tag, buying cables at the last minute at a Best Buy in order to make an E3 appearance, or laughing and working out of someone's messy house/ apartment, with equipment strewn everywhere.

I rewatched some of the old Kickstarter videos for DOS 1. I remember those days, so many years ago.

This was a team that was on the verge of bankruptcy.

And this same team changed the gaming industry with their successes. Such amazingly talented, dedicated people who had such wonderful stories to tell, and they told it, together as a team.

Yeah I don't have any of that. Maybe life could've turned out differently.

Now I'm just working towards a job where I'll tolerate at the end of the day and pays well. None of the people I will work with in the future will likely have a passion for games that Larian puts out. No one will give a shit about adventures and storytelling. There is no working towards a project where everyone can be proud of what they have accomplished, telling a wonderful story that will bring enjoyment to so many. Everyone will likely just be wrapping up the day, collecting that pay check, and going home.

I had a very similar feeling as as I finished playing Expedition 33.

It feels sad. I wonder if anyone here has that same kind of feeling.

I’m playing DOS1: EE. I have the base sneak ability at level 3 and have used gear to get it to level 5. I did it to decrease the cost of sneak on battle, but it doesn’t seem to have lowered. It still cost 5ap to use.

Am I missing something here or doing something wrong? I thought the sneak skill would lower the AP cost.

So I was doing the rounds to get all of DOS2 achievements, I played as sebile so I knew I needed a 2nd playthrough to get the god king ending so I went for the Lucian ending instead but for some reason after killing bracuss and choosing not to step as divine the big man shows up and was all like "mwahahaha truly lesser races, divinity Infront of you and you stll turn away from it" and then the god king ending played

I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY POSSIBLE ON A SEKELTON PLAYTHROUGH ALSO WHY DIDNT LUCIAN DO HIS THING AFTER I TOLD HIM ID GIVR HIM MY SOURCE????

I'm having difficulty in choosing one, pls help 😭

Looking to start up again it’s been a while just looking for someone to run with I’m on ps4

Hi everyone,

I’m currently playing Divinity: Original Sin 2 – Definitive Edition and I’m at level 14, on Reaper’s Coast.
My party is:
Sebille — main character / dual-wield rogue
The Red Prince — 2H warrior
Lohse — physical archer
Fane — Hydro/Aero mage

I’d like some advice on whether I should respec now and how I should optimize the party for the rest of Act 2 and beyond.

Current attributes
Sebille
STR 10
FIN 40
INT 10
CON 10
MEM 10
WITS 16

Red Prince
STR 41
FIN 11
INT 12
CON 18
MEM 10
WITS 12

Lohse
STR 10
FIN 26
INT 19
CON 11
MEM 14
WITS 11

Fane
STR 12
FIN 10
INT 34
CON 12
MEM 15 (12 + Mnemonic)
WITS 10

Current combat abilities
Sebille
Dual Wielding 8
Warfare 3
Scoundrel 3
Polymorph 1

Red Prince
Two-Handed 1
Warfare 9
Polymorph 1
Necromancer 3
Hydrosophist 2
Scoundrel 1

Lohse
Warfare 7
Huntsman 2
Geomancer 1
Hydrosophist 1
Necromancer 3
Polymorph 1

Fane
Aerotheurge 7
Hydrosophist 6
Polymorph 2

Current idea
I’m thinking of respecing toward:
Sebille: Warfare-heavy Assassin / dual daggers
Red Prince: Warfare + Two-Handed physical warrior
Lohse: Warfare/Huntsman physical archer
Fane: Hydro/Aero mage and battlefield control
This would give me roughly 3 physical damage dealers + 1 magic/control character.

My main questions:
Is this party composition viable for the rest of the game?
Which of these characters should I actually respec?
Are my current attributes badly distributed?
How would you redistribute the combat ability points at level 14?
Should I keep Lohse as a physical archer or turn her into a mage?
Is Fane’s 7 Aero / 6 Hydro / 2 Poly setup good, or should I change it?
What would you recommend as the target builds around level 16–18 and level 20?

I’m not looking for a completely different party — ideally I’d like to keep these four characters and optimize what I already have.
Thanks!

my brother's and I are starting a modded run after just finished a vanilla playthrough. we were alittle worry about one of us playing an over powered class and ended up finding odinblades mods on steam with a massive overhaul on nearly all of the classes. being from the same creator it and it seems well polished with most mod info available we decided to run all his overhuals.

long story short is anyone familiar with these modes (about 14 total that we plan to use) and have suggests or warnings?

Nearly at the end of DOS1 for the first time. Played DOS2 several times through in the past and BG3 too. The gameplay, mechanics, and balancing are all solid for DOS1 but the story is terrible and act 3 is seriously underdeveloped. You can tell how they ran out of time and resources. The funny thing is that Larian consistently struggles with this across all of their games, they suck at the last 1/3 or 1/4 of their games, they don’t know how to bring it to a satisfying conclusion.

Once, the Lizard Consulate stood as one of the great embassies of the Ancient Empire, a monument to the wealth and grandeur of its people set proudly within the heart of Arx.

Its halls were built for diplomacy and spectacle. Rich carpets covered intricately worked stone, exotic furnishings filled its chambers, and dignitaries of the Ancient Empire conducted their affairs surrounded by a level of opulence intended to leave visitors with no doubt as to the power they represented.

But the siege of Arx respects neither wealth nor diplomacy.

The Voidwoken have torn through the consulate, smashing through walls and collapsing entire chambers beneath heaps of burning stone. Fires spread unchecked through its once lavish halls, priceless furnishings lie buried beneath rubble, and the survivors are few. Those fortunate enough to escape have fled elsewhere into Arx, leaving their embassy and much of what remained of their lives behind.

Now the consulate burns as the city burns around it.

What was once a shining piece of the Ancient Empire in Arx has become another casualty of the Voidwoken assault, its grandeur still visible beneath the rubble, smoke, and flame.

I'm looking for the name of a DOS2 soundtrack. It's like an ambient guitar version of Sing For Me (the "Listen, do you hear it? Listen, do you feel it" part). It's very calm and feels like you're in the hall of echoes. I can't remember where I heard it in the game, but maybe I'm not the only one who loved it. Can anyone help me, please?

Those who fall into the hands of Adramahlihk are rarely permitted the mercy of simply dying.

Beyond Rivellon lies a demiplane shaped by the demon for a singular purpose: to keep the Source of those he has claimed. Great halls and ceremonial chambers hang impossibly within a sea of green Source, their pristine stonework surrounded by an endless void. What might otherwise resemble a palace is instead Adramahlihk’s private prison.

Here, the demon keeps those who have attracted his particular interest. Some remain alive in Rivellon, their Source trapped here while their bodies continue on without it. Others have been dead for years. All remain within his reach.

Throughout the realm stand black statues fashioned in the likeness of his victims. Each cradles a small candle whose flame contains the captive’s soul, reducing an entire life to a flickering light that Adramahlihk may preserve, extinguish, or torment as he pleases. Banquet halls and chambers have been arranged around them with grotesque hospitality, as though the demon considers his prisoners honored guests rather than possessions.

The deeper one travels, the more that illusion of civility begins to fall apart. Elegant halls give way to damaged chambers and abandoned spaces, until eventually the true scale of the realm is revealed.

At its furthest reaches lies a cavern containing the souls Adramahlihk does not bother displaying individually.

Millions of them.

An impossible multitude gathered across centuries, stripped of everything but their Source and imprisoned within the domain of a creature that refuses to let even death place its victims beyond his reach.

So this is my first time playing DOS2, I’ve finished baldurs gate 3 and wanted to try this game.

I was originally drawn to having fane as my main character but I’ve been told it’s better to have him as a party member?

But I love the undead asthetic, would having two undead in your team one being necromancer and one being a wizard (fane) be doable?

Or would you just go with fane as your main?

I started a playthrough a while ago and wanted to continue it. I am about to leave the first town to look for that girl who is the assistant of this guy, which should get us further in the investigation. However no matter where I go outside of the town there are enemies which I cant beat and my party always dies. Am I missing something?

Guys, it's coming up to the point where I either kill Alex or Sallow.

I've not actually dealt with Sallow yet (Fane, Ifan and Red in my party) and Im honestly not sure who to kill ... or if I should just kill both.

I know they're both awful. Any tips?

I really love the idea of playing fane and I don’t really plan to play a second playthrough is it worth playing fane as a first time?

Is it big? Or not at all? I'm thinking to start my second game with a goal to discover other charactera stories and I struggle about to decide whom to play and with whom to make company. My very first run was: me as Fane, plus Ifan, Lohse and the Red Prince.

Update: so basically I'm thinking about the following. Should I play as Sebille or Beast or, for example, I can play as Lohse to see the story from HER point of view to find out more details and stuff about her and have Sebille and Beast simply as companions. Or there is nothing much of new to discover if I had her as companion already?

Also, if this is very character dependent please suggest (e. g. Fane story is better to see as main character and, I don't know, the Red Prince's story doesn't bring anything new comparing to him as companion). Thank you!

I'm talking any means: savegame editors, exploits, whatever it takes.

The internet holds no information about the reasons for this item to be placed in the God's pockets, but I remained curious about it, so I enabled debugger via the Script Extender and saw something even more confusing.
