Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General New list of combat abilities AND memory

Splitting abilities into raw skill with clear improvements in character stats and memory which lets a player choose instead to give a player more skills at a weaker level if desired.

Please keep this system! However, it would be nice if memory allowed memorizing the **same** skill more than once instead of having only different skills available.... Would that break game balance in some way?

What are you talking about? It's not a Vancian magic system. Skills are not consumed when used.

That would probebly be hard to balance, the cooldown reduction is there to adjust how often you can use the abilities, if you make a system where you can get around that so can i see it become increasingly more difficult to try and balance.

I believe he is suggesting having for example 3 hailstorm on the hotbar.

Seems legit. What could possibly go wrong?

I think a huge chunk of ability balance comes from cooldowns. There's not a stat-based way to reduce them now too, so how often they can be used is a much more important part of what keeps them in check. I don't think preparing multiples so you can spam them is an idea they're gonna implement, sorry. It's just not the way they're trying to balance the game.
