Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General Push and pull effects

With positioning and areas so important in DOS, it seems kind of sad the only way to move opponents is straight teleportation. Perhaps there are UI/engine difficulties, but if it were feasible it would be really cool to have pushing and pulling. Warriors could knock people back into fire, or GET OVER HERE. Aerothurge could have an AoE that pulls nearby creatures to a point, and a windblast cone.

We actually planned on those but had to remove them due to a number of engine issues. You're right that it'd be a great addition. Next time perhaps.

realy they had to be removed? Thats a shame i would have loved this for melee characters.
Maybe we can at least get to throw enemies?

Ah well, it did seem like something you'd have tried. Hmm, would it be feasible to have at least single target push/pulls by having them function like teleports with specific range limitations? A knockback effect would show destination range in a particular cone behind the foe or something
