Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Suggestions and Feedback Initiative, change it back

Seriously, i loved the first moments of this game, even made it as far as Nameless isle on Tactician with 2 lone wolf, but then they changed how Initiative works, it killed the game for me, WHATS the point of having HIGH Wits (Which in my opinion was the most essential one) if it doesn't bring the benefits you invest on?

People invested in Initiative to have a advantage over the enemy, to have a advantage in how is first and how is second, that made a HUGE difference, specially when u play lone wolf on tactician, where after driftwood some enemies can nuke your party and remove all its armor in a few hits and proceeds to stunlock you.

That's the HUGE difference it made, the common experience of a enemy starting first and using all his skills to vaporize your armor and debuff your party, and the next turn you have to focus on buffing yourself or you will get destroyed by the next npcs.

That's the huge difference in fighting 8 enemies all with stats similar or higher than your 2 lone wolfs, with each one of them easily capable of killing you (With archers hitting for 20% of your HP or 30% of your armor each hit) and enemy 2 handers easily vaporizing your armor or hitting more than 50% of your life in a single turn, that's the difference Initiative made, the damage one NPC is capable of doing is WAY to big, and initiative is the difference between he attacking you first and stunning you or you starting first and stunning him.

ITS NOT unbalanced when you're fighting 3x the number of your party, i'm not even gonna talk about that Source master that summoned a LOT of void wokens from portals, when she finished with every summon there was like 10+ void wokens, and ALL or most of them had higher status than my 2 lone wolves, not only that but they hit 2x to 3x more than the common enemy so think about the damage 2 of these void wokens could do if they start before your characters.

And now no matter how many points you have in Initiative, 1 character go first, then your enemy, then your character, this is killing it for me.

PLS change it back or at least make it optional, i know a LOT of people that is pissed because of that (Me included), i don't understand, why you guys Nerf the only good things in this game, and not the really OP things, or things that people can easily exploit.

Before i usually put more than 30 in Wits, but now i feel like putting it at 0 and give 0 F#ks about it and eventually rage quit this game because of it.


I'm sorry about this big wall of text but this is seriously killing me and i know this may seem like a trivial thing for some people but this is nearly making me quit this game, and if i had the refund button i would, don't get me wrong, i LOVE this game with all my heart but for some reason this change just broke this game for me.


Resume : Change it back or make it a optional settings, and pls don't make sudden changes that makes no FREAKING sense pls, thank you.
