Re: So why play Divinity ? ldo58 19 minutes ago
I think "immersion" is the prime factor for enjoying a game.
I played Divinity Original Sin 2, and felt no immersion at all. The setting and NPC's didn't "click". I never got off the prison island. And I tried several times. With origin or selfmade character.
Solasta Crown of the Magister. Same thing. Good setting, good implementation of DND rules, but no "immersion or attachment" to the world or the characters. I Gave up after a short time, again with multiple restarts and different classes. Never got far.
BG3, very good immersion. I'm still playing it. 3000 hrs since EA.
EX33. There are everal things I don't like about the game mechanics, but there is total immersion in the world and the characters, so I finished it.
It has been a constant pattern in my games. I am curious about Divinity, and hope it will have the immersion of BG3 (for me) , and not be like DOS2.

Not my problem to deal with.

If your argument to a game feature is exclusively and only "it adds immersion" then very likely its an element that will not add anything to the game itself at all, will annoy most players because its wasting their time, and is just a bad idea overall.
Not "my argument" at all, not to mention not a conclusion I agree with even remotely.

The fact that you don't value the importance of a game selling a specific fantasy (maintaining a convicing sense of adventure without breaking the illusion of the fiction being served to the player) seems to be absolutely a limitation on your part.

A game is a game is a game. Game elements have to combine to a good experience overall. Anything that merely clogs the experience has to be optimized away.
Abominable.

I love Shadowheart's response to this. Something like "Stole it from some other plane of reality, more like it!"

Hexed weapon suddenly losing condition mid-fight Fiddlewidget Yesterday at 03:47 AM
I have done multiple play-throughs with Hexblades and Hexblade multiclasses, and this is the first time I'm encountering this issue.
My standard post-long-rest buff routine includes:
Shadow Blade -> Bind Hexed Weapon. For the 3rd time in this run, I have started combat with my hexed shadow blade and suddenly found myself getting only one attack because my shadow blade has lost the "hexed weapon" status. I have not unequipped it, dropped it, or any of the obvious things people immediately assume.
Fortunately I'm not playing in honour mode or this could be catastrophic.
Every Google result about this has to do with the opposite - not being able to remove the effect.
I have not tried this with a standard weapon or regular pact weapon so I don't know if it has anything to do with the weapon being a shadow blade or not.
I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this and knows what could be causing it, or if this playthrough has somehow gotten bugged? I thought I would ask before spending time doing extensive troubleshooting.
The only mod I'm using is the Aasimar race from the in-game mod manager, and I've had that forever without problems.

Race/Subrace Selector missing on respect and level up. Larion response??? pvpxan Yesterday at 12:22 AM
It seems Larion did not have in mind the idea that Races and Subraces could have spell/passive/other selectors after character creation. The first thing I know people will say is just get IMPUI...but that project is no longer maintained. I mean yes it still works (the XAML looks ok after I went over it) but this is something Larion Studios should have in place.

Does Larion check these forums at all?
