Divinity: Original Sin 2 is an old school style RPG- this means that if you have grown up on a diet of Witcher, Elder Scrolls, and Mass Effect, you might actually be in for a bit of a shock. This is because Divinity: Original Sin 2, while sharing some of the same DNA, is largely cut from a very different cloth, and plays very differently, than those games.
So- you might end up not doing well. Not unless you are familiar with old school cRPGs. Or, alternately, we can help catch you up, with some general tips and tricks, that you can see for yourself below:
- Attack enemies based on the armor they have equipped (physical attacks against physical armor, magical attacks against magical armor)
- Making enemies Bleed and Cursed enhances elemental advantges
- Be aware of the battlefield, and see if you can use it to gain an advantage in battle
- Engage in as many quests as you can
- Talk to everybody!
- Hit F5 to quick save your game frequently
- Increase the size of your inventory by finding bags as frequently as you can
- Focus and emphasize your character on a specific set of skills- all rounder characters tend to do poorly in Divinity: Original Sin 2
