Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Beta pickpocketing?

How can I do pickpocketing? I have 2 points in this feature, but dont know how to do this.

Pickpocketing isn't fully in the game yet. You can invest in it but not do anything with it.

What about pickpocketing in those new Version? Seems lockpicking works.

I only don't understand whats the diffrence between those 2 spells.
And also: you only Need the spell? or also to leard social lookpicking?


BTW: Why only the ranger can learn rescurect?

Lockpicking is for opening locks. Pickpocketing is for taking things out of pockets of people.

Yeah, more than one character type should be able to learn the resurrect spell. I shoved it on Madora in my current run, because it's not like points into Two-Handed weapons would be well-spent.

I don't like Madora! She is most useless in figths, one knock down spell and out!

If she later go near to the enemies, my own spells will hurt her or she is hurting when enemies fall down in a poissoned Areas.
So most of the time she stands aside and wait.

I wan't to lern her at least one pur sholar fire or waterspell but she has not enougt intelligence!!

I spend all her Points in warriors and 2 handed waeppons, Wizzardways ware useless without Intelligence... also I need the strengthpoints for the weappons.

No point left to learn the way of the ranger to use resurecct spell...

I use this spell sometimes... especialy to resurrect legionares which will be killed from the Monsters following me in the City.

But when my ranger is killed I hope to have scrolls.


BTW: I resurrect the ork-female near the gamestart. No reaktion of her lover.

I killed the legionares in the warehouse... collect all the things and then resurecct them... If I give them some of the collected things the are again looking freandly!

Madora isn't useless, you need to learn better positioning so you can be effective with your spells while minimizing friendly fire.

I stopped putting points into 2-Handed weapons because it was adding like 2 points of damage - essentially worthless compared to the next tier of weapon. That's where my points for Way of the Ranger came from. .

I mostly use her as bodyguard for my casters or being the one hitting the enemy which are lying on the ice.

I use fire/ice elementals as bodygards! My 2 mages are fare away and wait until the dreate elemental spell is again needet, because the enemies killed my elementals. They heal my ranger and use some fire/ice spells.

My rangergirl do most of the work, she kills the enemies and resurrect Party if nessesary. Hope the repair bow possibillity will included fast. She is my best one, use lockpick, petpal maybe pickpocketing later.
I Need the points of the other startcharacter to improve his firemagic. (Watermagic for Jaram)

Madora use "knockdown" once and wait if some enemies are fast enouth to run to the my wizzards.

I whish she can heal, resurrect and use some pur fire/ice spell... because of my ice elementals the iced Area is big, so if Madora goes near, she also falls down.
Maybe the warrior skill should give him a higth resistance again all Magic and knocking down on Ice?


Maybe I play to carefully. Or maybe I must also Change madora to a rangergirl, in the whole game there are more Points so this is possible.

But if the game allowed knigths and figthers why all combats so full of Ranged Magic?
Where ar the fights again 20 rats or 20 skelletons (with no magic)? They can fast souround the Party and only the wirlwind figther can help out.

All DD Games I played as "Paladin" Typ, with Sword and some healing spells.
Now I must learn to use Ranged weapons and Magic. Hope this will work!

I think you just need more practice to get a better feel for how to use melee characters. Making everyone ranged might work, but you should learn how to use the melee characters effectively. Make a separate save slot before battles (don't just use one save slot and save over it), and try different things. If you get killed, then take what you learned and try again.

I'll try it. And maybe I learnd it! The Alpha is a good way to try some things. Seems I must learn a new way to use melee characters.
