So, lets get this straight, this game is a master-piece.

It's a game like XCOM: Enemy Unkown
its a game like The Witcher
its a game like Dragon Age
and many more...

Divinity is not for everyone, but it is for everyone who loves MMO/RPG/TBG Turn based game
I try to be spoiler free, but i will include stuff in this review that is obvious.


There are a few thing's that i want to talk about, mostly good.
You can create your own char in this game, and it's not only for the look, it changes the gameplay for the entire game.
There are a few races, Human's, Lizard's, Drawf's, Skeleton's, Elf's...
Every Race has a unique talent, example: Elf's can eat body Part's and know what happened to them or what they thought about while they died, sound strange? Yes it is. But it help's you in-game to find hidden treasures or hidden quest's. Even the NPC's are reacting to your Gender/Race/Behavior.

You can choose your own Style, i dont mean hair, face, etc. i mean... how your char is reacting to things...
example: I mad a Noble Lizard, that talk's like it has a stick up her arse. I role-play her like she is a Annoying know-it-all.

This way, your story takes different out comes. So watch out what you pick.

The only thing that bugs me is, that i cant change how tall my char is, how the body looks...
Also, some gear looks weird on the body of the chars, they look more fat in some of these, and some are way to skimpy.

There are also many trait's and Skills you can pick but thats too much to go in to... You just need to know one think... there is everything from the normal knight to cleric.

This might be a spoiler for an enemy in the game:
Some races has permanent side effects.. like skeletons heal when they get poison damage, same with enemys


What can i say? There is a ♥♥♥♥ tone of loot... i dont know how much and how different they are, but what i saw so far... simply -amazing-

I just noticed, here and there, some clothing and loot looks the same... different item stats, but what will you do with a such big game?

The Trading is very simple to use, easy to access, quick to understand.


Sadly, this is the only point i am slighty disappointed, its not bad for me, but i think some people might notice very quickly, that there are not that many different enemy types. Yes there are plenty, but for the length of this game, it might get boring. I dont mean the fights, i mean the types, i go to the fights after this section...

Oh boy... the NPC's... Where do i start? Simply put, they all are very good written, +1 to the writer's.
They never get boring, it feels like every NPC has a story... also, they all are voiced, but sometimes here and there, they dont speak, mostly for stuff like "YOU THERE! You violated the law! Return your goods or serve your sentence!"

But still, its amazing how much time they put in to the voice acting... and the Narrator... gosh, very good job... you mostly hear his voice, he is describing EVERYTHING you see, smell, feel, do. Its truly amazing.

Sometimes you hear the same voice actor from another person... but this is not a biggy. They did the same in Oblivion, but i dont mind, some people do but not me, a simple little thing.


Alright, lets make this one short, There is the PvP in alpha/beta, quite fun, then you are able to play the WHOLE Story with 3 others... other player. It's super fun, but i recommend to play with someone you know or to scream at... if you play with randoms... they attack the guard... many... times... its a pain in the arse. Sometimes people dont do that, but many do...

So now to the D&D section, Thats one of the best features the game can offer right next to the single-player.
I recommend not to access the Game Master Mode, many spoilers there, enemy types, loot etc.

It's hard to describe, but all you need to know, its like a level editor, or like that one thing from Arma 3 Zeus mode.
You can role Dice, you can possess NPC's you can do all kind of ♥♥♥♥. But... you need to do all by your self. That means, no NPC's walking around, only you, moving people from A to b. Would be cool if they would add something like a Waypoint/patrol mode so people are walking around citys, taverns etc.


SO, the main thing in divinity: Original Sin 2 is the battles, fights, etc.

I tried something harder then easy mode - died.
You need some training in the beginning but you will find a way to deal with different enemy types and 'areas'.

By Area, i mean... You surrounding. There are some different types of 'things' laying around...
Let's talk about the basic of the basic, Fire we all know it, we all hate it. You can ignite Oil with fire, you can throw oil at enemy's, you can burn an enemy and lead him in to a puddle of oil so they explode in a cool way.
There are some other thinks like Water and wetness, combined with electricity... just try stuff... its super fun to combine these elements... you can also use magic to make it cursed ;)

• Are there Physic's / Ragdoll in the game? - Yas
  
• How big is the map? - Very big, much to explore
  
• How are the graphic's? - Very nice, smooth pleasent to watch people burn or
• acid away
  
• Fighting? - Very good, sometimes its too easy, sometimes its too
• hard, or just ged gud.
  
• Multiplayer? - Everything works good, no disconnect stuff or lagging. Plenty of people are
  playing this game
  
• Stuff to do? - Yas... A lot... you are not getting bored in this game...
  
• Replay potential? - I think you could play this game like 30 times and you still wouldnt find everything in
  this game, many secrets, many options, combine race/trait's and you will have a different out come

Yes! 100% but ONLY when you are a fan of TBG/MMO/RPG's video games. A few games as example:

• XCOM: Enemy unknown
  
• Dragon Age
  
• The Witcher
  
• Mass Effect

There are just a hand full of good MMORPG's out there, and if you like turn based combat, then its the perfect game for you, you can waste so many hours in this game, finding the best way to solve problems without fighting. You coudl play this game for a long time just to find out what else is hidden in this game. Gather some friends, play D&D online master the dungeons together. When you search a game with 100% on Metacritics or 10/10 IGN- Would Burn again then... you found it. It cost a lot of money, but its worth it. I think this game was on Kickstarter once too, but just look at it... so much time and effort. If there is a game that's worth the money, it's this one.
