Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General Too many environmental effects

I agree.

I just started playing and it was by far the most noticeable change compared to the first game, and not for the better. I hardly ever see regular attacks anymore there are so many magic attacks and area effects in the game. I have no idea how a bunch of the new effects like necrofire are even triggered - they just randomly explode from enemies and decimate my characters or enemies.

Please please please tone this nonsense down Larian! Magic becomes mundane and annoying when it's used too much. Instead of making every battle more strategic, it just starts to feel the same.
