Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Beta Attributes, Skills, Talents and Traits Discussion

For further discussion:

1.
The main character screen. Perfect in every way. It shows me my armor, my equipment, my main stats my resistances, my damage
- hit chance, physical resistance and dodge chance missing, but ok

2.
The skill system, clunky in small windows, overburden, intransparent

3.
Spellbook, hardly any information about what the spells are influenced by, no conection to the rest of the character sheet.

=> What i try to say here is that 2. and 3. should be remade so that it is better to understand and more appealing. Ideally a new Dialog or bigger tabpage which better shows what influences what.

Another thing i would really like to see changed is that all healing, regenerating and resurrecting is not water but LIGHT MAGIC. This would fit in perfectly because there is already SHADOW MAGIC in the game.

@Stabbey
The two things that i find most impropriate concerning the skill/spell system are:
1. Skills have to be bought
better would be that you dont have to buy any skills and you simply get them when you met its requirments.
2. The presentation of the whole skill/character development


@WintermuteX
How can you speak not only for you but for someone else? No where in the kickstarter page is written that Larian will recreate a game system that is 10 years old. What is written there is
- deep character development system
- develop your character(s) to fit your playstyle using our classless skill and stats system
- There are six primary stats and manipulating them in combat can lead to surprising results. For instance, lowering the intelligence of an enemy with a curse spell, will cause it to walk into pools of lava (uttering words like "look, how shiny"). Or if you lower an enemy's dexterity, it has a much higher chance of falling down when it crosses an ice surface, forcing it to skip its next turn. Or...

All this doesn't mean that there will be no talent tree or skill tree!

Even fallen enchantress added skill trees recently and its so good for the game:


There are so many ways to present the skills and its requirements:
