I made it through Cyseal without too much difficulty and found the game balance to be quite good.
Not so in Luculla Forrest. First, you run around without much of a clue what to do. Still haven't found the spell to release the barrier for the white witch.
The tasks that you get, you cannot finish.
"Invulnerable Death Knights", WTF? So no go in the mines.
"Desert Slowdown" - hard time with the spiders. No fun.
Fight against the Immaculate Priests - impossible to win for me. Even though I have pretty good resistance, the whole party gets frozen, stunned, whatever. Once you manage to kill one of the freaks, he comes right back with a resurrection spell. And that was on "easy".
Everything but mages appears to be bloody useless. No matter what the dexterity, damage level of the bow, a ranger does no damage in a fight like that with the Immaculate priests. Summoned creatures, useless (get dealt 9000 damage in one attack. Jahan is useless as well here.
I played through Divine Divinity, Beyond Divinity and Dragon Knight Saga and had a lot of fun with each of them.
D:OS is fun while in Cyseal (even though it is kind of slow to start), after that it is just frustrating.
I guess I will uninstall and forget about Larian Games for the future. Yes, maybe my character balancing was not ideal - but with 50+ hours of game time up to this point, where I am stuck, I just cannot justify the time to restart. I still have a life. In the past, even an average gamer could have fun with Larian games, even if character choices might not have been the best. D:OS is pure frustration past Cyseal.
