Despite the overwhelming nature of these maps, players shouldn’t neglect to explore the map as they finish the SLG Game Units’s chapters.

Updated January 3, 2025, by Demaris Oxman: After the runaway success of Baldur's Gate 3 , plenty of players may find themselves interested in Larian Studios' other flagship series, Divinity . Whether gamers are revisiting the titles or trying them out for the first time, it's easy to see why Divinity: Original Sin 2 is counted among the best fantasy RPGs of the 20

Similar to other open-world RPGs, Original Sin 2 does offer a lot of flexibility for players to approach their dealings with NPCs. In fact, most - if not all - NPCs are practically killable by the players, except for scripted events. And even then, some players can find themselves "breaking" the game by finding a way to circumvent scripted cutscenes and killing relevant NPCs anyway, possibly including other main characte

Ice Breaker is nothing short of a magnificent looking ability, but as great as it looks, it can be just as harmful to allies as it is to enemies. This ability breaks all ice within its area of effect, setting of a chain reaction that deals water damage to every character caught in it. This ability also sets the chilled status eff

For all its complex tactical elements, Divinity: Original Sin 2 is, at its core, a story-driven RPG. Its many subplots interconnect, linking the main characters together and ultimately leading to clever reveals and twists. However, these story beats feel much less satisfying if players don't pay attention to the p

Necromancy is great when wielded properly, but there are a few skills that might be better avoided when playing with friends. One of these abilities is Infect. It causes a disease to infect the target which then spreads to all nearby charact

Chain Lightning sounds like a cool idea, but it can hurt allies terribly and possibly even stun them. This ability is exactly how it sounds. It shoots a massive bolt of lightning that can fork up to eight different characters. It also deals 150% damage to each character caught in its bl

Players who don’t have the advised Skills to deal with the Harbinger might want to keep their recovery Skills and Potions close by for the assist . That way, they can continue to outlast the Harbinger as it zig-zags around the battlefi

Several quests can only be received by speaking with animals . Loot and gold aside, chatting with Rivellon's critters is worth it for the lore tidbits and comic relief they provide in what is occasionally a dense and heavy game. With the above note in mind, designate one character as an animal liason, and talk to any creatures that cross the party's p

This ability has a smaller area of effect, but the damage is entirely based on the amount of armor that the player currently has. This can cause the ability to deal massive damage to allies caught in the blast, plus the fact that it hurts the user is a huge negative as it will allow enemies to more easily get to their hea

Wayfarer is similar to the Ranger class, but adds some helpful Geomancer skills to the mix that benefit Fane tremendously. With moves like Contamination and Poison Dart, he can create pools of poison to receive healing passively while damaging enemies who get too close. This way, he becomes more flexible in bat
