Larian Studios Forums Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis (English) Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis Why such a drive to punish the player?

Difficulty depends a lot on class & skills. As a mage & archer, I had a pretty easy time the entire game. As a warrior... not so much, until I had some ranks in Life leech & Regenerate.

Anyway, Divinity 2's gameplay is not really unforgiving. It's rather typical for the genre... most action RPGs (Diablo, Titan Quest, Dungeon Siege) have level-based gameplay.
