Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Best Game Ever becomes Worst Game Ever in Zone 2

And without a pause option it's utterly impossible to get buffs on all 4 of your toons because the inventory system is useless and the quickslots are too limited and fiddly to scroll through in a hurry so by the time you've buffed your last toon the buffs on the first one are expired.

So Divinity Original Sin was the great new hope in RPG's. It's beautiful to look at and the first area of the game is challenging but possible and has a lot to offer, and then you move on to the second area and it goes downhill faster than a rollerskating Jew on Coupon Day. They really should have let the Beta and early release crowd into this zone because it's 100% utterly fucked. How fucked you say? Well if this game stood next to Traci Lords the universe would regrow her hymen to attempt some kind of balance. This game is fucked more than a single parent teenage girl with daddy issues and a zero tolerance to alcohol. It goes from best game ever to worst pile of steaming bullshit with a speed so fast your monitor will shatter from the sonic boom. I've just made the 22nd attempt at one combat, the last 7 of those on easy difficulty level but no matter what you do the mobs just pull out non stop utter fucking bullshit like stun, freeze, knockdown, cripple and slow (yes all possible in one fight) and your saves vs all this are fucking useless. And without a pause option it's utterly impossible to get buffs on all 4 of your toons because the inventory system is useless and the quickslots are too limited and fiddly to scroll through in a hurry so by the time you've buffed your last toon the buffs on the first one are expired. Oh and in case you're wondering this IS the easy fight option. I'm level 10 trying to take out level 12's not a big difference you'd think for supposedly epic heroes but oh no those motherfuckers cannot possibly be beaten not with a constant barrage of bullshit debuffs. The only way I can think to destroy them is to drag every single goddam exploding barrel on the level to one point and fireball it when they're all close enough but that would still involve sacrificing 2 party members to get them all in position. The ONLY other advancement path available is to take on level 14 mobs and that's not even remotely possible. And NOPE you cannot just say "fuck this shit" and go grind because mobs do NOT respawn and I have killed every goddam thing that can be killed and done every possible quest so I'm at maximum possible level, so until they introduce a patch where swearing at your monitor gets you a fuckton of XP then I'm stuck at this level until I bypass the impossible combat and get to another impossible combat. And levelling speed is PAINFULLY slow from 10 onwards so even if I could manage to get through this stupid fucking level I'll still be woefully underpowered to take on those level 14's.

Consider me officially ragequitted this motherfucking game until later patches balance it out and make it work.

OK No! I've just found a video showing where the button is but it is absolutely NOT on my screen. The doorframe is completely blank, nothing at all to be seen so what the fuck do you have to do make the stupid button appear. If the entire plot direction is intended to go along this secret path why make it so fucking hard to open and why doesn't mine even have an opening mechanism. Everyone keeps talking about this Hiberheim place but I figured that was after the forest (zone 2) where the fuck is it otherwise?

Seriously there is no goddam switch in the game I'm looking at.

I guess your perception is too low. Try to drink a perception potion before the door in the White Witch's cabin (the one character with the highest perception).

Lol, dude. You're supposed to go through the Witch Cabin, to the real second area. Luculla forst is really the 3rd. Under the Witch cabin, you can found a portal to the big map filled with ~10 lvl enemies.
