Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Suggestions and Feedback Comprehensive manual badly needed, imo

It's not a problem for me, but for people who have never played D:OS 1, the skimpy 7-page manual is utterly insufficient. 90%-95% of the problems I read about the game in various forums--Steam, Gog and here--are Operator Error or else trying to get the game to do something it wasn't intended to do, etc.--playing by the wrong rules, etc. Here's a Sven quote from the skimpy manual that is pertinent:



Problem is--the only thing there atm is the skimpy manual containing that quote...;)

I'm assuming that Larian has a comprehensive manual for online access in the works. I love the game and am having no problems with it at all actually--other than the Quest log doing all kinds of weird stuff, that is. It keeps forgetting that I unchecked "show completed quests", mainly. Nothing bad enough to foul me up, though.

That's it--thanks for this great game, Larian! If you had not put this game in front of me I'd have had trouble guessing what might have been better than D:OS 1...!....;) No longer! This game exceeds my every expectation. Can I also add a special note about the *music*, graphics, animation and sound in the game? It is masterful! Best Pathfinding I have ever seen in a game of this kind, bar none! Wonderful job! Inspired, really. 'Kay, that's it. Gotta' get back to Act 2...;)

The manual contains the following information about playing the game:

• The default controls

It is really completely inadequate at its sole purpose for existing. No explanation about the HUD, no information about crafting, or combat, or skill upgrading, or what the attributes, abilities, Talents mean, nothing.

It's okay for the alpha players like me who learned all this stuff. But if that's the quality of manual Larian is going to put out in the future, they might as well just save themselves the (minimal) effort and just not bother.
