Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General Lucky Charm and Thieving are gamebreaking.

You don't NEED to steal to beat the game. YOU simply WANT to steal because of the advantage it gives. What a shock. An Ability that you invest into gives you an advantage in the game. It's almost like that's the entire point.

The only change I would make to thievery is to eliminate all +thievery gear.

A chest can only be looted once to proc lucky charm...but with +thievery gear your whole party can steal from a guy one after the other. It's gimmicky. Swap all the +X thievery tags with +sneak tags.

I also agree that thievery is kind of 'strongly advised'. Weapons and armor values go up 10%+ per level so you're at a very large disadvantage if you're not constantly recycling all your gear. I think the game would be a bit better if the scaling were reduced significantly.

I almost feel there was a lack of dropped gear and LC filled in for that during the game for me. LC does feel very strong. I think the rate just needs to be toned down, and they need to let all party members benefit if one person has it. You should never have 3 people standing around while 1 loots an entire room.

Thievery... it's like they made it more annoying than DoS1 but not any more fun. It's still very useful, of course. I just don't look forward to it, unchaining people, trying to distract, sneak issues, ... bleh.

Lucky Charm and Thieving must be used to prevent the game from breaking.

on tactician it looks like gamesaving. So shitty loot and so expensive goods in the shops.
