Is Emma, ​​Fara’s daughter, actually lost, or is it true that she died?

I've been thinking about pairing Scoundrel with Pyro since they seem to pair well but I'm worried about the int and str/fin split. Would it be bad to have that split and if I was to use both would it be better to use str or fin?

The second one I've been thinking about is Geomancer and Necromancer. They're both int scaling but IDK if they have good enough damage between the two of them since they both have a fair amount of armor and magic armor skills.

I just finished Divinity Original Sins 2 (105hours) for the first time, without looking for tips unless I'm really stuck. I played on Classic mode, with 1 Gift bags : From the Ashes. Yes, I did not play with the 8 actions mod nor Pet Pal talent and I regret it but it is what it is.

I am new, I only play BG3 beforehand. Please don't flame me.

tldr : story great, Malady mommy, combat great but annoying, other system did not use that much, not beginner friendly.

First, I have to say, the story is really good, really liked it. I made a custom character and did all the lore about my companions : Lohse, Red Prince and Fane. I really like Fane, the story of his people and the choice we have to make at the end. I also like the Red Prince story and Lohse, even if I don't really understand the dilemma we have to make for the Red Prince but that's fine. Malady is mommy, that's all I'm gonna say. Jahan and Tarquin, why even help yall if not for XP and Gold. He didn't even gave me Anathema when I finished all the quest in Act IV, pissed me off a little tbh. Sir Lora, I hate you. This little shit triggered every single trap in the Blackpits caverns and decide to light a candle when I was saving Gwydian and manage to not have the platform on fire despite it being covered of oil. The rest was good.

Second, the combat system is incredible but not beginner friendly. On god for the first 2 act, I did not understand how to stun or how to freeze people or how did I get stunned/frozen. I had a combat where I was CC'd for 5 turns in a row, I just decide to watch but fuck me it's annoying. There was also a time in the dream portal arena when I was "madness" by Kemm every turn, like this man does not have cooldown ? Had to completely skip the fight for the mirrors as fast as I can because it pissed me off. Speaking of fight, I am amaze with how smart the AI is sometimes, the fact that some of them decide to completely ignore my fighters and just run at my mages and all-in them with everything they have is impressive. Some fights was just "protect the president Lohse" after 3 assassins decide to backstab her and she's the only one in my party who has healing and aoe damage. They also run away when I manage to proc atrophy on them and me, an idiot, decide to chase them as a personal vendetta even if it's not worth it. I love the system of armor and have cooldowns instead of magic point like in bg3. I just wish the game explain some mechanics more, like you have to curse an orc to stop troll blood (did not know this until act 4 lmao), you can't stop a cursed fire by simply casting rain, and more. Still, love the combat system, now that I've played the game, if I decide to do another run, it will be easier.

Third, crafting system, rune system, food system. I did not use those systems a lot. Only use the crafting system for res scroll and curse scroll, only use the rune system for the final fight and the food, just a waste of space in my backpack.

Final though : Great game, enjoyed it as much as BG3. I would not recommend this game for beginner who did not play any crpg. Amazing combat system. Will do another run for sure.

I'm in DOS2/Act 2 now and this is my party:

1. wizard geo/pyro

2. wizard aero/hydro

3. wayfarer xbow

4. rogue 2 daggers

No one has big strength stats. For now the only drawback has been not being able to open a few sarcophagus that I found along the way and ended up ignoring. I'm considering moving my mage geo/pyro to a strength-based build in order to avoid missing something in the future because of no strength character. But honestly, I'm enjoying this party composition for battle. Is it recommended to have a strength guy?

So I started dos 2 again recently & I've made a mistake. After Act 3 on the ship. You get a prompt for romance. I hastily choose to not get close and personal with anyone (I wanted to go to the mirror and fix a few stats). I deleted previous saves and kept the latest one. And now I'm locked out of romance? Is there a way to fix this mistake? I don't wanna go through the game without loving Sebille. :')

Good Evening,

Is there an image gallery of all the Divinity Original Sins 2 Paintings that can be found throughout the game? Like not just a picture of the painting in game but just the actual art.

No idea why but I want to get the full image of Lulabelle Paintings from later in the game, but all I find is in game screenshots.

Playing for not quite the first time(gotten to act 2 before quitting once before) and my main character is doing Summoner and I want to get all the summoning spells. Do I need the Red Prince in my party in order to get to the place where you can unlock the Summon Dragonling spell?

Am I doing it right?

Hey everyone, playing DOS2 for the first time after DOS1, and going over all the changes from one game to another

i just beat the Voidworm and that other minor worm, so before i venture forward, i still want to go over some things:

Lohse MC - 1h/shield + necro + geo (with some magic dmg)

Ifan - bow/xbow + Geo + summon (really not making use of it, will likely respec over, or do i remove geo?) also some magic dmg from Ifan cause fane needs magic help

Fane - fire/poison wand + Pyro + geo + Aero + some necro for heals and phys dmg

Sebille - 2h + necro + pyro swings

So, from here, what can i do to improve my team comp, and on what should i focus more?

Been playing through DOS1. First time through, want to play it and DOS2 before Divinity comes out. Despite Bairdotr having highr skill with Bows than she does Crossbows, every time I compare them the Crossbows are just stronger. 1 more AP but notably higher damage ranges.

Am I missing something about bows?

Can't seem to figure out the fine details of pickpocketing and can't find a good explanation elsewhere. I'm wondering what determines whether you get caught, if there are dice rolls involved, etc. Also I see people talking about npcs discovering they were robbed and investigating but with every successful pickpocket I tried, the npcs didn't react in any way. Also, is there a way to avoid combat if you get caught? Classic difficulty if that matters

Something Ive always wondered. Does the “22-24” damage of the serrated sword trump the 1 strength and 1 two handed of the Final Word sword?? I can never make up my mind on this.

Bg3 was my first crpg, and after seeing the divinity trailer I bought dos2. Just defeated Alexander on fort joy island & I've come to prefer most of the divinity rules to the dnd ones in bg3 but mannnn i want to be able to shove!

I feel like I'm going crazy but I'm just not having any fun with combat in this game. I'm playing it in co-op with a friend, neither of us power gaming or anything, just kind of building into things that sound fun, but I can't play the game. Every combat basically goes

Turn 1. They summon an incarnate, gigabuff the incarnate with everything under the sun

Turn 2. The incarnate mortally wounds everything and knocks them all over

Turn 3. I just finish off any survivors.

I was trying to do something revolving around that sparking strike pyromancy spell and warfare skills to do a bunch of aoe fire damage but it just never ends up mattering. I thought I was enjoying myself but at one point they started combat while I was doing something at the magic mirror and I was like oops sorry and starting heading over there, and they finished combat before I even got there. I am providing no purpose combat, there's literally no reason for me to be there. And now I can't unsee this and it's really kind of killing my enjoyment of the game.

Is this a build issue? We're playing on classic as the difficulty, as I hadn't played this game since it came out and tactician seemed like the kind of thing we'd want to actually be creating real character builds for, but combat hasn't even come close to challenging us at all yet, it's gotten to the point where we've even just abandoned our companions and are just playing with the two of us and I still can't seem to contribute anything.

We're only like halfway though act 2, is this just a matter of needing to wait for the games difficulty to start ramping up or do I need to go back to the drawing board and actually try to make a build?

I'm stuck in Act 4 and can't progress at all, so I thought, what if I start a new game and make a party of only necromancers? It's physical damage, it drains life, it should work, right? ;;;-;;;

If this actually works, I'd like some tips on how to put this to work ;;;-;;;

😂

Me and my buddy were playing honor mode duo with lone wolfs. He was dedicated killer with backstabs as custom elf and i was full support mage fane. We went through whole first act extremely easily, went to alexander and killed him and 2 more enemies in first turn (my friend did while i was playing dead from the start). I fully buffed my teammate during dialogue and he still had most of the buffs but not speed and additional magic and physical armor, so i get up and get closer to him while reapplying all of his armor and adding regenerative armor as well as reapplying speed. Then voidworm relocates closer to us and kills us both with one attack. That was more then brutal. What exactly went wrong? Is it some cruel script or its okay for ambush enemy to oneshot whole party?

I've played this game like 8 times already and to make the game more fun I usually try new and unorthodox builds.

For example, one of the builds I've had is retribution maxing, with all the items that give + retribution and having additional damage returned to enemies. I'd just jump in the middle of the fight, use necromancer invulnerability on myself, use shackles of pain on the strongest enemy and use decay on myself. And just drank giant health potions to kill them in one turn XD.

Or the most recent one was when I completed the game with 1 character in Honour mode: I made an mage-assasin build where I'd combine my daggers with poison barrels and use abilities that gave me magic damage on-hit. That was very interesting I had a very hybrid damage output and could kill anyone easily.

What about you? Did you think of any interesting builds?

There is a head that I can never seem to reach. Is it possible or just a thing that I should let go?
