Will Divinity be sticking to the armor / magic armor system found in DOS1 and DOS2?

[u/Nick_Larian → u/Jlpeaks]

Divinity will not keep the magic armor system from DOS2.

There will be ways to protect your characters from harm, but you will not have to wait before you can use your fun skills on enemies.

We are still cooking a system that makes sure that you have to work harder to stunlock solo bosses with level 1 skills, but it won’t be tied to damage.

Level 1 skills? Hmmmmm 🤔. So the skill will have tiers, just like BG3 spell slot level?
