That too. I always feel bad when I have to put one of my guys in the church etc. But then I can use them again which is nice.

it's hefty and dry but a really well designed RPG with a world that feels interactive and alive

I put out a fire that was blocking my path with an ice spell that I may not even have had in my party if I was running different classes, then I try to run past it only to have my mage slip and knock herself out for a few seconds on the ice 10/10 immersion

leveling system is fantastic with perks that require meaningful trade-offs, and a good mix of combat and outside of combat skills

the gear similarly is a lot to pour over but is always offering me meaningful choices, do I want a bit of extra hp with this item or do I want the 8% block chance on this other one, and it looks like a ludicrous amount of weapon types can be crafted whenever I get around to that

making certain dialogue choices with your characters will give them traits that provide small bonuses and your characters can even disagree and debate over the right course of action in a given scenario

I'm playing on the difficult Tactical mode, so every combat encounter has had me sweating like Microsoft Chess on high intermediate, but the normal mode option exists for those not wanting to strain themselves

only criticism is I don't find the main plot super engaging, but how important is that really in a game like this, especially when even many random NPCs have their own charm and personality
Well after this one, play the 2nd one. This and the 2nd game are both the best RPGS I've probably ever played. The first one is really good too but the 2nd one improves on the 1st by far.

The game looks pretty good and I'm reminding myself that I can actually play it now if I want to. Gotta admit dungeon crawler type RPG's are more my thing though. I like not having to talk to a lot of NPC's.

Divinity is absolutely fantastic, one of the best hidden gem games out there for fans of in-depth RPGs.

Been going hard in Skyrim again and I forgot how tedious loading screens are when you're trying to smith. I lost count of how many times I had to go back to my house to get something I'd forgotten. But other than that it's ass kicking and name taking and I finally got around to Dawnguard.

Do yourself a favor and play Divinity 1 and 2. You'll lose your life to it. Both are fantastic.

That I do not know. In fairness, the full name of the PC game is Divinity Original Sin 2.
