As with every class choice in Original Sin 2 , there is no one correct option for the character race, but some are slightly more beneficial than others. Dwarf characters work very well - the inherent racial boost of +1 to sneaking saves point commitments later for an ability that is nearly necessary for the positioning-heavy rogue playstyle. Elves are also quite effective; though the Loremaster bump is something of a write-off, the Flesh sacrifice skill is incredibly useful and pairs well with the Rogue's Adrenaline skill to either take the edge off the subsequent AP drop or to set up an action-heavy round. While certainly still playable, Human, Lizard, and Undead Rogues do not offer directly beneficial perks for pure rogues, but can be helpful for those wishing to branch out into more direct combat-oriented builds, with humans especially being quite versatile in their capabilit
As such, players should develop the habit of using Examine on opponents more often. This function becomes handy when identifying enemies that can trigger attacks of opportunity on melee (via the Opportunist talent). Moreover, getting a basic idea of what Talents NPCs possess generally gives some insight to their usual battle strateg
Among setups in Divinity Original Sin 2 gameplay , the Elf Wayfarer is a recommended build as it takes advantage of the versatility of the Wayfarer and the Elf’s access to more actions per turn. Thanks to Flesh Sacrifice (Ability, Elf), this build can immediately get +1 AP per turn in exchange for less Constitut
In traditional RPGs, fights usually start with the party together. However, Original Sin 2 allows characters to "break away" from the party. A character with this status won't follow the others when roaming around. However, this trick becomes extremely useful in combat, especially considering NPCs tend to dish out AOEs early on in fights to generate environmental effe
Since you have access to so many skills, it might be helpful to get a few points of Memory at second or third level. Otherwise, go for Finesse to increase your overall damage. After that attribute is maxed, go for Wits or Intelligence. Huntsman will be key to acquire certain important abilities. Because you can deal several damage types, go for Ranged ; this gives an additive boost to all arrow elements, making it slightly weak but extremely versatile. Warfare , Geomancer , Pyrokinetic , and other combat skills will multiply the damage of specific elements. Last get at least 1 in Perseverance unless you have it on a piece of gear you plan to upgrade with the Sorcerous Sundries Gift
Updated on February 22, 2025, by Mati Kent-Nye: People who were lucky enough to experience the brilliance of Divinity: Original Sin 2 understand why the resurgence of the CRPG genre it brought was hailed by the masses. Without this game, Baldur's Gate 3 would not be the beloved revolutionary Nintendo tactical RPG Future it is today. After all, it is on the shoulders of Divinity 2 that Larian built Baldur's Gate 3, emulating what it did well while fixing story and pacing issues that served as minor problems in an otherwise perfect game. Whether players are getting into this title for the first time or clocking in another 100+ hour playthrough, these mods are sure to give them some more content to sink their teeth i
The last option is to outright attack Dallis, who will drop her powerful Reckoning two-handed mace as a bonus. Players don’t need to kill her, only wound enough that her vitality drops below 400 health. As noted above, she has undead status and cannot be one-shot with Death Fog. She is also very high on the starboard stern of the enemy ship, making it hard to even get her in line of si
Compared to other Skill Trees, the Geomancer is best paired with other Skill Trees to maximize efficiency and damage output. Others would love the Geomancer paired with Pyrokinetic to force toxic puddles and oil to burst into flames. However, while other Skill Trees indeed have more straightforward abilities, the Geomancer is a great starter for players who want to play with the environment. It also provides both decent defensive and offensive options to support the pa
Regardless if one goes for bunkered down protection, full assault, or single leader assassination, the battle for control of the Lady Vengeance will quickly conclude. Gather up any rewards, mourn defeated comrades, and prepare to land in Reaper’s Coast for more adventu
The Wayfarer class should balance out ranged attacks and magic. Concentrate on boosting the damage of your ranged attacks with 3 Finesse only. Crossbows should be your main weapon for large damage, but also consider bows if you want to avoid the movement penalty. Be sure to also stock up on different arrows, which can change your elemental damage and cause some status effects. While normally boosting your character’s bonus Civil Ability (Bartering on humans, Loremaster on Elves, etc) is helpful, consider specifically going for Stealth or Telekine
