Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Beta Too much non-combat when you reach Cyseal?

To be honest, and I appreciate I might be in the minority, I've actually enjoyed running around Cyseal more than fighting random creatures outside.

It's a fantastic proving ground for players who want to try a different approach than the traditional "ugg bash thump" routine that we usually get in RPG's, and considering the time you actually spend there, there's blessedly few "obvious" fed ex quests. Sure there's still a bit of to and fro, but you don't feel like its an arbitrary "run here, get 'x' take it to npc 'y'"

I was actually pretty gutted to find that I'd exhausted all the options in town and had to head outside and hit things in order to continue.

Sneaking about, finding clever ways to distract people whilst I liberate them of their goodies, and just chatting and exploring have been great fun. I didn't set out to play the thief but I'm pleased to say I've unlocked pretty much every locked door I could find without resorting to combat, and the only doors I'm still working on are either protected by magic locks or very difficult to distract guards.
