      Everything they talked about in this was in the original pc release. even the controller layout, which is the same a divinity original sin ones controller layout. the only thing they needed to say was it was on consoles now. the frist original sin's enhanced edition added voice acting and the controller layout but those were both included in the first go around of original sin 2. - its simply just a console port unless they added stuff not mentioned in the video.

      Cole Selensky the definitive edition (pc and console) added a bunch of stuff, like new arena stuff, new squirrel npc companion, reworked the act in Arx, and a bunch more. The patch notes is pretty extensive, so it’s definitely more than just the console port.

      It doesn't work that way. Games don't necessarily stand up to the test of time - kind of like video game inflation. The same applies to DOS. The improvements make up for some all of the quality lost to time.

      I love old school RPGs like Kotor 1 and 2, Icewind Dale, the final fantasy series, chrono trigger or more recent one like Morrowind or Oblivion, dragon age 1 (Maybe the third one but gameplay was a bit boring) and mass effect 1 and 2. If you're into any of these games you're gonna love it. Also if you're not comfortable with the combat but want to experience only the campaign you can there's an option when you start a new game .

We taught both our mages teleport and use it to send enemies and items all over the place to completely ruin their formations, it's awesome.

      @@weaverquest While I do agree that games like Witcher 3 and/or Skyrim have bigger, more open worlds, there's usually not much you can do in these games outside of what was intended for the player to do, i.e. quests, simple combat encounters etc., whereas in Div 2 you're presented with different problems and given huge amounts of tools to deal with them, this game has very organic systems that allow you to create cool and unique scenarios. lets compare a battle sequence in witcher 3 and div 2: in withcer u can just fight, mash buttons, maybe use a few spells and thats it. in div 2 u can set traps beforehand to annoy your opponents, u can teleport a pesky wizard into a pool of lava, you can set entire areas with fire, set your bowman on top of the hill for better accuracy or just turn your opponents into sheep if you feel like it. dont get me wrong, i loove witcher 3 but div 2 just gives you much more options and is a bit more fun to play imo.

      @@weaverquest Skyrim and Witcher are more akin to action games than RPGs. Not saying that in a bad way, just that they don't offer nearly as much choice of tools and methods in which you resolve different situations. This extends even to completely unrelated stuff happening around you such as having the ability to heal the bleeding man in fort Joy, offer alcohol to the healer, or kill him yourself.

    • @weaverquest
      @weaverquest 6 лет назад +3

      @@juanbarb57 I am not sure how giving players options sets this game apart from others. In Skyrim, you have a lot of options as well. When encountered with an enemy, you can charge with a shield and sword at hand using regular old melee combat, or you can conjure monsters to distract him, shoot him with a bow with paralysis applied and let your monsters finish the job, or use many of the destruction spells you have whether it is fire, shock, or frost. Use alteration magic to give yourself armor and get close with two handed weapons etc. And I haven't even talked about games' unique mechanic shouting which you can use for many things from slowing down time to calling dragons for help. Yes you have options so many options and skills and magic. But the game is designed in a way that they all work against every kind of enemy so you are not solving a problem with encounters just randomly do what you want. I personally don't like this kind of freedom. I don't think I am doing something designers didn't intend to because they balanced the game so that it all just works. So much variety can give you a sense of freedom but it is not a thoughtful process so it gets boring and uninteresting. In Witcher 3 you don't have many options, but you have to use different tactics. Witcher school philosophy depends on knowledge and being methodical so it makes sense that you are playing the game in an intented way. Preparing a battle by reading about your enemy, brewing potions, applying oil to your blades, selecting the right kind of skills from the skill tree, using glyphs and runes to increase the intensity of your signs or other stats etc. is not only fun but also adds a new dimension to regular action combat. But there isn't very much depth to those systems so the combat gets repetitive and boring especially since Witcher 3 is such a long game. Though a killing monsters is Witcher's regular job so it makes sense that it would be repetitive from a narrative standpoint. It sounds like I am complaining about both of those design choices but the thing is when someone is talking about freedom in a video game it is very vague so I am very skeptical about it.

I have inspected every letter of the journal, down to making sure that upper case B was not an ß, and I have no idea how to proceed.

    skip until cd of invisible spell is 1
    delay turn (if the 1st turn is that hero)
    atk
    the last 1 point is to use to invisible
    repeat
    i guaranteed it will super rare for the enemy to search for you (mostly just standing by.... drinking tea)
    i'd say this step is easy level...
    or....
    go
    sneak.... and jump using "cloak and dagger" and walk more... but it was
    harder than the top step.... and much easier for the enemy to look for
    you....
    i'd say this step is medium level...
    negative part
    very long gameplay.... combine with immune death + the chain if you want a little bit faster

    my friends on console just buy this game and make sure one of your party member has "Pet Pal". every quest feels so much impactful because the characters you meet have emotional feel to them. there are lot of surprises when you go through story. I am playing this game 3rd time on PC now

    • @SilentLegion96

      gthakur17 Pet Pal was kinda useful in the first game. It pretty much allowed for new quests or hints to an area/boss but I felt it was barely frequent.

It is usually done using spells to petrify,stun,freeze,paralyse or knockdown enemies so they lose their turn and can't attack,cast spells or evade. CC is a core element of the first game and second game but more accessible and easy to do in the first because it doesn't have the phyical and magic armor mechanic. Did you actually think i was saying that you cheated? Lol
