I cannot find info on this anywhere online so I dunno if it's a bug or I just don't understand the mechanic. But since the beginning of the game (I'm playing the EE version) I haven't been able to lockpick anything. My lockpicking is maxed out at 5 with stats and gear and every single object whether it's a door or chest has lock pick greyed out.

This has been this way since the start. I haven't even been able to do the lockpicking animation because everything refuses to let me. I'm hoping someone can help me either understand what I'm not getting or tell me if this is a bug I've run into.

Asking the to see how much of a time sink this will be. Once I start I don’t stop until I finished. Currently doing this for a bit as I light study for board exams that aren’t until next year. Will this ruin my life or give me life.

Decided to fight Kemm in his office. Use soul mate then drink healing potions to start the combat. After Kemm was downed, one of the Paladins resurrected him.

Then all 3 paladins after that casted healing spells on him, making him dead again. I can’t stop laughing.

I got to the fight with sech on his ship and the game crashed. I have deleted the cache, deleted and redownloaded the game, ive soft and hard reset my switch. Ive even tried to load old saves and get this screen everytike I try to start up. I have yet to try a new game but I don't particularly want to restart just yet. Any ideas?

Just a funny clip I caught while talking to a friend in Discord.

I am not brand new to DOS2, I have about 30 hours in and got halfway through Act 1. I dropped the game because it kept crashing on my crap PC, but I've since upgraded and want to give the game a fresh go and try to beat it this time. I was just curious what the best resource would be for putting together competent character builds? I was just totally vibing on the first playthrough but it is a bit overwhelming and I typically like to follow guides for this sort of stuff anyway. Thanks for your help

So I've finally gotten round to installing this on my Switch, & while it was doing so, I did some digging about classes. My go-to in any of these sorts of games is some form of melee/magic hybrid, but I read Battle-Mages are rather complex for first time use. For context I've played the Baldur's Gate saga all the way through, and Baldur's Gate 3, so I'm somewhat familiar with these type of games. Baring this in mind, what's a good starting class for me?

Hello. I had high expectations after 200 playing hours on DOS1. It wasn't the best game I've ever played though, but something there kept me want to keep going.

I had 13 playing hours on DOS2 so far. I covered a big part of the beach and fort areas - explored, talked to people, did quests... Almost anything there was to do. (Didn't enter the castle yet). It wasn't too boring overall, but for the most part I didn't find it much interesting either. I feel like I keep playing hoping something interesting will happen, and sometimes it does, but just a little bit and even that is pretty rare.

I'm not saying that a game should be exciting all the time. No game is. The question is whether you have something to look forward to, something that keeps you interested enough to play through the less interesting stuff. With this game I haven't really felt it yet.

Maybe a new area might make a difference, I personally find this fort area a bit dull. But I'm not sure this is really the issue.

Do you think I should give it more chance, a few more hours maybe and see? Or am I probably going to feel the same?

Thanks in advance for any opinion.

Edit: There are too many comments for me to respond to, but I've read them all and I appreciate the help. I listened to the advice that was given by most of you and kept going - and it did get better. And it's still Act 1 (some of you said that Act 2 is where things get much more interesting).

It's a very long game and I still don't know if it will be for me, but quitting at such a stage might have been too early. So thank you.

On round 1?

Very curious who everyone uses in their party? I've got my two source hunters(obviously?) and I have Jahan and Wolgraff.

I've been playing on Divinity Unleashed. It's definitely harder, took me a few tries to get out of Act 1, but I got there and breezed through Act 2. Right up until I made the choice to fight Hannag. One of the harder fights in Act 2, but I could have gotten it. Except my stupid, ADHD ass moved not one, but TWO characters into lava because I wasn't paying attention.

That's it. I'm a moron.

**Edit:** I've been encouraged to be fully honest about what happened. Not only did I run two characters into lava, but my rogue (last survivor) actually killed Hannag and was in a great spot to either kill the two remaining voidwoken OR run away. I chose to instead use the Vulture armor skill where you eat a corpse for healing and a damage buff. Of course, I did not notice that my rogue had decaying. That is all.

Played BG3 for an embarrassing number of hours and loved it. I also played Pathfinder WotR, PoE 1,2, etc. Love top down iso-ish RPGs and...I really dislike DoS2. Here's why:

1. The mechanics/systems give the illusion of sophistication but aren't. Criticize BG3 and the 5e system all you want but the systems in DoS2 create an illusion of choice for your character. You may think you want to play a fighter / magic user type but...no you really don't because your damage types will be spread across enemy armor bars and you'll get hosed. Also, you'll never gain enough attribute points to be effective in either on anything but story mode. Just the way this game is created.

2. You have to farm as much XP as possible. This means, you'll need to enter into fights when you would have possibly avoided them. Again, illusion of choice where there is only one viable way to play.

3. I don't like the companions...at all. Each seems pretty one dimensional and that dimension is A-Hole.

4. Everything is on fire. All the time. No matter where you are. It. gets. repetitive.

So, I guess I'll wait and see for the next Divinity game but, for anyone out there who came to DoS2 because you really thought BG3 was a home run...might want to wait for the reviews.

I am using Norbyte's Script Extender and trying to add certain spells (e.g. Flight) to my skillbar with the Osiris call NRD_SkillBarSetSkill((Character), (INT slot number), (STRING)_SkillId). Sadly, I could not manage to find any resource containing spell IDs.

Would greatly appreciate it if someone can provide some info on that.

>>ACT 3<< I write the tittle wrong

I've basically completed all the side and main quests of Act 2, I've already got the 3 points I needed for all that Source stuff, I've already killed the Advocate, but the main problem is Gareth. After I completed that mission about the murder of his parents and delivered Jonathan's ring as proof that I killed him, Gareth simply disappeared from my map... He's not in Lady Vengeance or at the farm and I can't advance to Act 3 because I can't find him anywhere.

Is he hiding somewhere? Is this a game bug? It's my first time playing so honestly I have no idea what to do.

Rouge/assassin, solo, lone wolf hard level.

How I am supposed to beat opponents using solo Sebille rouge.

I am 3-4 lvl.

How many points should I put in polymorph, necromancy, huntsman. Should I use dual weapons or sucker punch.

I use companion only for stealing and trading.

How a rouge is supposed to solo 4 guys on arena and forth joy?
