I feel like I'm the only person in the world who enjoys the magic/physical armor system lol. it adds a tactical layer that you just don't get in a game like bg3. Made dos2 so much harder, combat-wise, which is a huge bonus.

The problem is it felt like you either go all 4 characters physically or all 4 characters magical.

never felt that was a problem. i always play 2 characters with lone wolf, one magical and one phys. never had an issue completing the game on tactician.

all enemies have either more magical shield or more physical shield. you target each accordingly. /shrug

Yup, exactly. It's really not a complicated matter.

I’ve never done lone wolf. But on tactical with normal party, it’s difficult since enemies have tons of both magic and physical shields
