Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Crafting of Armours is useless

The idea that because something is "crafted" it should be "better" than anything else in the game is one that I don't think is defensible. It's there, if you want it; if not, the game won't penalize you for ignoring it. At any rate, I think the game deliberately doesn't want players expending a lot of time on the crafting option, imo.
