Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General This game is great but... (Spoiler Warning)

I came into the game without prior knowledge. My perspective:

I found the introduction to crafting to be fine. I immediately understood the principle. However once you get past the basics, crafting is RIDICULOUSLY hard to figure out. The recipes are all over the place, and I can't imagine trying to figure it all out on your own.

Combat was fine. I had no problem with its introduction. I do agree though that combat at high levels is tedious. And large-scale combat is incredibly tedious. The showdown in Hunter's Edge was awful for this reason.

I find most of the puzzles to be overly opaque. I frequently have to look up the solution, only to learn that an unrelated item I found 30 minutes earlier gives me the solution, in a way I would never expect.
