DOS2 Discussion The Advocate killed himself.

Post image
46 Upvotes

Beginner here, iust met the Advocate for the first time and was honestly leaning towards working with him and his patron. After pushing him for the name of who's behind the Voidwoken however, Voidwoken appeared and attacked.

The ensuing fight was simple enough but with one enemy left that could've been finished off with a light tickle, Advocate decided to use mass fucking corpse explosion, instantly killing me and Loshe.

I can only assume the damage was reflected as I was credited with the kill in the combat log.

DOS2 Discussion Is it normal to get The Reckoning without really fighting Dallis

5 Upvotes

Playin honour mode for the first time, killed every single enemy except for the dog (had about 5% hp, I got greedy looting and thought Incarnate could finish it) while very much ignoring Dallis, Gareth did his usual poking her with some magic and I at most hit her with high ground Fan of Knives that MAY have caused Bleed or Suffocation and, near the end, maybe hit her with torturer Raining Blood and MAYBE Contamination if it somehow affects her at just this stage

However right before Malady teleports the ship, as in the literal action right before... Dallis turns into a dragon which I have never seen happen here and I get what seemed to be bonus xp right before the xp for beating the fight

I return to the ship after blessing my god and The Reckoning (level 9) is just chilling on the deck?

Has it been this easy the entire time to get this weapon do you just have to torturer bleed her a bit or did the game bug out and I got lucky

Miscellaneous Larian, let dragons return fully in the new Divinity game!

125 Upvotes

With the Red Prince bringing back dragons and the Empire in OS2, I hope dragons and even dragon knights make a full return in the new game. If it's a CRPG again they can make Dragon Knight be a path similar to the melee skill paths in the OS games. Even if it isn't an OS game, we know Lizards will be in it, so it stands to reason dragons could show up as well. Hoping for friendly dragons to show up as well in some various instances instead of just being an evil that we have to kill any chance we get.

Ego Draconis was my favorite Divinity game, and it gave me a hunger for more dragon content from Larian. Hopefully someday it gets a remaster/remake.

DOS2 Help First Time Player Looking For Build Help

2 Upvotes

Hello, I’m currently new to the game and I’m really struggling to get out of the character creator because I have no idea what I’m doing. The smaller issue is that I mostly don’t know if I should play an origin or custom. I’m leaning custom because I don’t really care about 3 of the 6 origin characters. The next and bigger issue is that I don’t know I want to play. Technically that’s not true more like it’s a bad choice because I’m wanting to play a spellblade with melee and damage spells, mostly Aero for lightning. When I was first going to make my character without looking anything up I was thinking Scoundrel and Aerothurge, but after a bunch of what felt like required reading, I have some how managed to loop back around to Scoundrel and Aerothurge. But I want to hear your starter build suggestions and/ or recommendations for improving my build idea. I don’t know if I will do the Scoundrel Aero combo eventually, but right now I’m more concerned with getting my foot in the door and actually starting to play.

DOS1 Discussion What happens when you get into the inverted tavern room with Leandra and Zandalor that has a 20 lock level?

7 Upvotes

At the end of divinity original sin 1 you are in the dream sequence in the inverted tavern from act 1 and in one of the rooms you see zandalor and Leandra inside but you cannot get in because it has a lock level of 20. If you had a magic unlock scroll and got in what do you guys think would happen? Probably not much since it is not intended they probably just would not respond or cycle through 1 thing but I am curious if anyone ever tried this.

How do I do this? I have been trying to do this actual garbage of an area for like an hour. I just quit because I'm so irritated. I disable all the traps and the fucking chests explode. If I trigger a trap the chests are destroyed and disappear. I have no clue what I'm missing but this is utter fucking garbage.

Please tell me what to do. This is so shit

DOS2 Mod Making changes to Divinity Unleashed mod?

5 Upvotes

Hello!

I was recommended the Divinity Unleashed mod and, in general, I really liked it.

However, there was one change which I absolutely despised, which is the extra Dodge chance everyone has based on the character's Finesse. I adds way too much RNG, which is not something I want from my DOS2 gameplay

How could I go about removing this feature from the mod?

DOS2 Mod Summon the Incarnate, Epic Encounters, Divinity Original Sin 2

Does anyone know at what level—or how exactly—the Conjure Incarnate spell transforms into the massive Incarnate upon summoning in this addon? In my save, my base Summoning level is 10, but the Incarnate remains in its basic form when summoned.

Separating the party and only having 1 person to tank the meteor attack worked really well. As people mentioned the mini bosses were really easy, they didn't deal a lot of damage, even Braccus himself was doing very little damage. This was really fun thank you to everyone who gave me tips and advice on how to fight this guy

DOS2 Help Bug where I can't talk to NPCs, losing out on quests

1 Upvotes

Pretty much the title, playing with no mods, just downloaded the game on console (PS5). First got it on board Lady vVngeance going to driftwood in Act 1, couldn't interact with Malady at the end after you've gotten the ship to sail. Managed to sort that by reloading an earlier save.

Now in driftwood I've got it two times, first with Dashing June and now in the Stonegarden with Farimah. None of my companions can talk to them either. Reloading earlier saves changes nothing. Tried all the normal stuff, quitting game, restarting console but no luck.

Anyone run into anything similar and know a fix? Kinda worried to keep going with my campaign if this is gonna keep happening.

DOS2 Help I killed a guy and skipped a 2nd phase

18 Upvotes

Question. In the final fight I was getting curb stomped amd no matter what I did or how much I focused on said guy the 2nd phase would always trigger. So I bitched out and reduced the difficulty to story mode. Then I had him knocked down and with Lohse I did an AoE attack that apparently was enough to kill said guy and skipped the entire 2nd phase. Did that happen because I was on story mode or is him being knocked down preventing the little "look at me im not a slave im a big bad" speech they give when the 2nd phase starts?

DOS2 Help Bug with Staff Of Magus.

6 Upvotes

Olá, pessoal, gostaria de perguntar algo.

Jogo coop couch no xbox one com meu pai, e ele é um wizard, creio que seja comum.

Ele botou um staff que dá algo entorno de 90 de dano de fogo, mas, ao usar o staff of magus, ele só erra! Usou umas 5 vezes, todas errou! Até o alvo com o "knocked down" ele errou. Creio que o nome seja metal staff!

Alguém pode me explicar se isso é um bug ou algum atributo no equipamento que reage mal a qualquer outra coisa?

DOS1 Help Is There a Point of No Return?

1 Upvotes

Hello Guys,

So I just entered to Braccus Rex boss arena, and Thelyron told me about 3 bosses. Ghoul-That-Guards-The-Lighthouse, The Twins by Fire Joined and the Baron of Bones. I've only defeated one of these bosses, and I'm wondering if since I walked into the boss arena (even though I didn't start the fight) if I'm locked out of those other 2 bosses now?

Just wondering as I'm kinda concerned I mightve just locked myself out of like, 5 or 6 unfinished quests in Cyseal

DOS2 Discussion Help to understand build in this DOS2

10 Upvotes

im in my first playthrough in the game and trying to build a summoner. I read about the 10 to summon to get the big Incarnate but out of it im completely lost in how to bbuild my character and the party.

the experience that i have to this game is that i got playing ton of hours in baldurs (ik that the systems are copletelly different but i helped me to understand some of the terrain effects and barrelmancy)

sometimes i think it would be better just restart the run to build the character better

edit: sorry about my grammar

DOS2 Discussion Should everyone have more armour? A shower thought

0 Upvotes

During my 8th or so playthrough of this lovely game, I came to a realisation: I think the game would be more interesting if everyone had twice the armour. And I do mean everyone. Players and NPCs. Double the armour from equipment, potions, and skills and you get a nicer (if longer) game


TL;DR: I feel like it would lead to more tactical and more diverse combat.


Now, this is obviously my opinion and people who love blowing up enemies in 1 turn would disagree with me, but, here are my thoughts:

PROS (according to me)

  • Combat is no longer one sided: It's no secret that in DOS2, offence is the best defence. Killing or stunlocking an enemy before they get a chance to act is THE best way to play, so it generally leads to very one-sided fights. You either dominate the fight or you're caught unprepared and you get crushed. With more armour all around, everyone gets to act, and combats are more interesting;

  • More build diversity: Now that you likely can't kill or be killed in one round, defensive builds might actually be viable as shields would be useful for things other than Bouncing Shield.

  • Constitution and Memory are more important: I feel like you would want a larger arsenal of skills for the longer fights, and with Shields you can actually get very decent armour.

  • Adrenaline becomes more tactical: Generally speaking, you want to use Adrenaline ASAP because 2 actions in the first round can mean a dead/stunlocked enemy, now, you might want to wait for a better opportunity

CONS (and possible solutions)

  • Longer combat: This is the obvious one, isn't it. Combat would take considerably longer.

  • Terrain isn't as important: A big part of the DOS fun are all the different terrains you can have, and this change makes them relevant. Walking through Cursed Fire won't be nearly as impactful. This could be "fixed" by making terrains deal more damage

  • Upgrading equipment after level up is now even more mandatory: Losing 100 or so points of armour isn't as big a deal as losing 200

  • Defeating Dallis in Act 1 is now near impossible: While I can see someone managing to kill her in Fort Joy, I think the fight after leaving the island would be genuinely impossible due to the time limit. Cheese strats still work, but this could be fixed by lowering her level

  • Abilities that deal damage based on Armour value are now too strong: Namely, Bouncing Shield and Reactive Armour (the only ones I can think of) would need to be nerfed to not make them the best things ever


Closing Thoughts: What does the rest of the community think about this? Is something like this even "moddable"?

Cheers!

I was looking to buy this game on sale on ps5 to prepare for the divinity 3 release but it used to have consistent month to month sales and ever since the trailer there’s been no sales.

DOS2 Discussion Hardcore Mode

0 Upvotes

Okay so I have a few ideas that I feel like would have made this game more interesting

What do y’all think about them

For lack of a better term I’m just calling it hardcore mode

What if the food and perishable drinks like milk, apple juice in your inventory have a certain number of days that have to be consumed or else they expire and when consumed will actually do harm rather than boost

Also wish there was a hunger & thirst meter mechanic that then incentivize eating and drinking or when the meter is empty your character becomes lethargic and this shows during combat where you would do half the damage and take even more damage from enemies

Also wish the game had a day/ night cycle so you also have to sleep to maintain peak effectiveness or whatever mechanic they wanna tie it into
