I've been playing Divinity Original Sin 2, in anticipation of Baldur's Gate 3. I got to the start of Act 2 about four years ago, and just never came back to the game. I always meant to pick it back up, so I started a fresh character and am nearly back to that point now.
I got a little ways into act two last summer and just kinda stopped. It’s supposed to be the biggest act and it’s frankly intimidating.
I've only completed Act I and can't believe Act II will be even bigger, there's already so much to do in Act I. Are there only two acts in total? After DOS2 I plan on playing through Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous and then maybe Pillars of Eternity 2
There are four acts in total, although the last two are more rushed than the first two. Act two is way bigger than one and I would recommend looking at a level map if you feel stuck somewhere, since fights with higher leveled enemies are mostly just impossible.
I just cannot stand the environmental damage in that game. Oh, the water is corrupted, fuck me I guess.
One thing I've found helpful is to make sure everyone has at least one mobility spell, so they won't be stuck trying to trudge through a lake of fire. Positioning is super important. Also, teleport and netherswap are incredibly useful.
Yeah, this is true! The constant exploding puddles and stuff is interesting to look at, but does feel a bit chaotic and out of your control at times.
Honestly, it's just making me more excited about Baldur's Gate, since although I haven't played the early access I know it's a different combat system. That and the armour system of Divinity 2 really throws me off, gameplay wise, so it'll be great to hopefully have all the RP stuff but with a less irritating combat system.
