Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Help/Tips/Tricks noob questions on drops

Hi folks, first visit here, nice meeting you all.

I'm just starting Original Sin and wanna know a few things if you you don't mind. oh i only play offline.

1. Is it worth the trouble reloading crates and fights to get better drop? I have been doing that and it's really killing the flow.... but i don't wanna get a skull instead of Excalibur +15 just because i didn't spend half an hour reopening the same crate or refighting the same boss.

2. are drops scaled to our level and class? or is everything totally random?

1. I don't think so...it's not worth it ,and as you said it ruin the flow of the game. the only time that I reload for chest it was with Bellegar barrels (and still it was really crappy items).

2. I think it only depends on the area level range +-.

The trick I use is get bosses to very low health then quicksave and then kill him until I get something I think I want.

Not worth it since youll get better stuff later, anyway. Its as Hassat says, the loot is tied to the area levels.

Just go with the flow and make do with what you get. (you can improve weapons with crafting and blacksmithing you know?)

If youre compulsive obsessive, thats your own problem then.

but exactly how random is the loot system? is it a hybrid combining both static drops (for major quest encounters and named enemies) and random drops in the wild, or does it scale with the area we're at (like sliver said) or just totally random? So far it seems to be totally random.

sure, i don't have to reload if i don't want to - but that doesn't mean i like going through a massive boss fight for some health potions. hopefully this is not the case.

there is specific static loot at some places while the rest is randomized.

just go with the flow.

And I didn't even post in this thread! 0_o
