Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General Prevent Auto Leveling

I'd love to have the old system back. I like the little min-maxing choices.

Respec is fine, but it's later on and may cost a lot of resources.

I thought the old system was fine. Considering how sparse equipment is early Fort Joy, and how important gear is for Tactician, any little advantage you can get is important. Having your scoundrel spend 2 points in con when it could have been finesse or wit really hurts the early levels. Also throwing 2 points in sneaking instead of thievery... And far as I can work out having restarted 3-4 times already, you are guaranteed level 2 as soon as you step into the Dallis scene with Atusa. At least that always levels me.

EDIT: I figured out that there is a ladder on one side of the atusa scene. Using it you can go recruit your whole party before activating that scene. I think using this you can do everything (read: kill everyone) on the ship, then explore before the fort, and still be level 1 when you get everyone. Kinda cheapo and a little annoying but I guess it's a workaround until, and if, a patch comes in.
