If you find the Goblins & Skeletons boring to kill them ... I assure you it's way more fun to make yourself a Priest build with Summon Ghost (who use fireballs AND can Heal you!), Summon Undead (use fireballs and do melee damage), Charm (very useful!), Blind, Hide in Shadows (later on at L15 you can invest also in the "Healing" skill and while you're invisible via the Hide in Shadows skill you can use this Healing skill without becoming visible! - drinking a potions or start fighting make you visible again!) ...
But it is important to always upgrade the Ghost if you can : 1/5 at L1, 2/5 at L 4, 3/5 at L9, 4/5 at L11, 5/5 at L14 - later on you can upgrade the skills you like to a higher rate by your Trainer, that's at the time when you can explore areas in dragon form).
With the help of the Ghost and Charm (1/5 at L6, 2/5 at L12, ...) most battles are fast over and even on hard difficultly an easy job (I do them on nightmare).
Imo a Priest build is very powerful! Because at the start you can't choose a Priest build (with a Priest starting skill) I mostly go for a Mage build with Fireball, but do not invest points in Fireball! But the warrior starting skill Wirlwind can also come in handy.
I've already started many many times a New Game in Divnity 2, tried all kind of builds and the Priest buld is my ALL Favorite one !!
With this build I can focus on doing quests, talking, exploring, crafting, shopping, alchemy, ... and in between "some" battles that are mostly very fast over ... faster than I can spell
"D-i-v-i-n-i-t-y II- T-h-e D-r-a-g-o-n K-n-i-g-h-t S-a-g-a"
Personally I love RPG's that do NOT hold my hand ! In fact DKS do hold my hand too much because of the "?"- marks or "!"- marks above NPC's heads ... but that's my opinion !
And for I forget to say: if you want more money you can always go for the extra Gold if you solve a Quest ! I mostly do that and starting now at the point I can fly as a dragon (my female hero Primellina is now level 18) she have more than 50 000 gold coins ! But to be honest: didn't buy any weapons or armor, only a few yewellery items with a skill boost I like to use frequently. Locke in the Black Boar Inn has the most cheap items IF you mindread him + do a little favour for him
!
I even selled all the starting gear in Farglow lol ...
Good luck Princess Madz
