Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Dragon Age 2 sucked! Don't even mention that game around me. It makes me wanna vomit.
I'd say Divinity: Original Sin. Is in the rage about 6 to 6'5 now. It's slightly above being average. So why not raise that up to 8? At least gameplay and balance wise and then go further to even a 10/10 game. Divinity has got what it takes.
And still not totally grasping how Lone Wolf is overpowered rather than useless.
Yes, surely your wisdom is infinite!
I said it was underpowered.
If you'd want a fully functioning character replacement trait which would not gimp the party there's a simple way to do that.
Your character gets a 2x stat multiplier. 2x action points and regeneration, 100% more HP etc. etc. And since you are twice as strong you fill the role of two characters. Makes sense now? Of course that would be somewhat OP. So I suggested 100% vitality, 2 stat points at start and 3 instead of 2 action points and AP regeneration, plus 2 extra skills per level. That would be enough.
Rain spell ... ? Any Water spell really ?
I went in to combat with some fire resist potions plus healing of course. I used the rain spell before every engagement. I had to weaken enemies and of course I broke the water barrels which where scattered. A 4 man party had a lot more flexibility in the fight. A bit of pulling and kiting here and there combined with outmaneuvering and elemental summons. The fire element was most effective since he could tank for a few turns. He didn't attack anyone, but since the mobs dealt fire damage they where constantly healing him. Frost killed a few before going down real quick as that totemic fetish kept resurrecting every fallen enemy and with the twin burning boss around it was really hard to get past that cannon fodder, but I eventually managed.
The encounter with two Lone Wolf's didn't go so well. I had to retreat a few times before I could even take a shot at the totem. Took me 2 elemental summons, but the fight was much harder then the one with a full party. Having more summons and pawns makes a hell of difference.
