Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - Enhanced Edition Does this game pick up later?

Hey guys, first off I like to say that I come from long background of playing cRPGs, been playing RPGs for over 20 years now and specially I am a big fan of turn based combat so I bought this game when it was in Alpha state and I tried playing it time after time but could never get past Cyseal but now I am honestly trying to play this game and beat it once and for all as the second game is about to come out later this year.....but once again I am faced with the same issue that has been putting me off this game.......

Now I have been playing this game for 16 hours (as per my steam record) and for the most of it, I was just running around Cyseal, talking with this NPC or that....had probably one encounter with skeletons (in that tomb after landing on the coast at the start) and one encounter with orcs, near the entrance to Cyseal...and I am getting pretty bored with this lack of combat encounters and far too much talking.......

Is it going to be like this, in the whole game, that you talk for 2 hours and then have couple of combat encounters and then again you talk for 4 hours before finding any combat?

Or does the game pick up later?

Thanks
