Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General Increasing Source Pool Question (SPOILER)

Hey guys,

Just wanted to ask a quick question for anyone that's quite far into the game.

I was wondering if there are any particular ending repercussions of expanding your source points you can get through the quests.

Generally I always try play a complete good/paragon play through and just got to the part in act 2 where Hannag offers to increase my source points but all the animals in the forest have to die.

Is there any drawback story wise in the end to doing this?
I did a save before and I know that taking it removes my pet pal talent which I think I can just add again, but I don't want to take it if will contribute to a negative ending in some way.

I have never used any source skills because they take up too much slots and because source is hardly available throughout the world, I usually save it for solving puzzles for quests that need bless or something.

There are other quests you can take that has no side effect.

One, you can save an elf and she will connect you to the elf mother tree giving you source.

Another, you can fight a demon or accept its offer to do a question for you.

Just those 2 are already enough. There's also the cemetary one that is about necromancy and people you will be fighting anyway.

Another one is killing a boss in a ruined part of the map and you will get a source point along with another quests.

Thank you sooo much for your reply, really appreciate it

So do the negative effects for the other ones affect the kind of ending you get?

Sorry to ask lol just curious because I want to try get the paragon/good ending as best as I can.

From what I got from hearing some stuff, most of the ending depends on the choice you make that are really at big key moments, like picking alliance with demons and choosing what to do when you ascend and who ascend.

Awesome okay cool thanks a lot
Really appreciate the time you took to reply
