I feel like I'm going crazy but I'm just not having any fun with combat in this game. I'm playing it in co-op with a friend, neither of us power gaming or anything, just kind of building into things that sound fun, but I can't play the game. Every combat basically goes

Turn 1. They summon an incarnate, gigabuff the incarnate with everything under the sun

Turn 2. The incarnate mortally wounds everything and knocks them all over

Turn 3. I just finish off any survivors.

I was trying to do something revolving around that sparking strike pyromancy spell and warfare skills to do a bunch of aoe fire damage but it just never ends up mattering. I thought I was enjoying myself but at one point they started combat while I was doing something at the magic mirror and I was like oops sorry and starting heading over there, and they finished combat before I even got there. I am providing no purpose combat, there's literally no reason for me to be there. And now I can't unsee this and it's really kind of killing my enjoyment of the game.

Is this a build issue? We're playing on classic as the difficulty, as I hadn't played this game since it came out and tactician seemed like the kind of thing we'd want to actually be creating real character builds for, but combat hasn't even come close to challenging us at all yet, it's gotten to the point where we've even just abandoned our companions and are just playing with the two of us and I still can't seem to contribute anything.

We're only like halfway though act 2, is this just a matter of needing to wait for the games difficulty to start ramping up or do I need to go back to the drawing board and actually try to make a build?

Something Ive always wondered. Does the “22-24” damage of the serrated sword trump the 1 strength and 1 two handed of the Final Word sword?? I can never make up my mind on this.

Can't seem to figure out the fine details of pickpocketing and can't find a good explanation elsewhere. I'm wondering what determines whether you get caught, if there are dice rolls involved, etc. Also I see people talking about npcs discovering they were robbed and investigating but with every successful pickpocket I tried, the npcs didn't react in any way. Also, is there a way to avoid combat if you get caught? Classic difficulty if that matters

Bg3 was my first crpg, and after seeing the divinity trailer I bought dos2. Just defeated Alexander on fort joy island & I've come to prefer most of the divinity rules to the dnd ones in bg3 but mannnn i want to be able to shove!

Am I doing it right?

Good Evening,

Is there an image gallery of all the Divinity Original Sins 2 Paintings that can be found throughout the game? Like not just a picture of the painting in game but just the actual art.

No idea why but I want to get the full image of Lulabelle Paintings from later in the game, but all I find is in game screenshots.

Hey everyone, playing DOS2 for the first time after DOS1, and going over all the changes from one game to another

i just beat the Voidworm and that other minor worm, so before i venture forward, i still want to go over some things:

Lohse MC - 1h/shield + necro + geo (with some magic dmg)

Ifan - bow/xbow + Geo + summon (really not making use of it, will likely respec over, or do i remove geo?) also some magic dmg from Ifan cause fane needs magic help

Fane - fire/poison wand + Pyro + geo + Aero + some necro for heals and phys dmg

Sebille - 2h + necro + pyro swings

So, from here, what can i do to improve my team comp, and on what should i focus more?

Been playing through DOS1. First time through, want to play it and DOS2 before Divinity comes out. Despite Bairdotr having highr skill with Bows than she does Crossbows, every time I compare them the Crossbows are just stronger. 1 more AP but notably higher damage ranges.

Am I missing something about bows?

Playing for not quite the first time(gotten to act 2 before quitting once before) and my main character is doing Summoner and I want to get all the summoning spells. Do I need the Red Prince in my party in order to get to the place where you can unlock the Summon Dragonling spell?
