Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General Initiative, how it works now?

The "Everyone takes a turn" is the only way to create a fair turn-based combat system else they will have to balance the game around everyone on your team always acting first because half decent player will just abuse high ini glass cannon build and they will have to bloat the enemies armor and defense even higher to prevent this mockery.

Remember in EA how unfair and broken it was to pump enough wits and have your entire team go first with a teleport set-up to a teamwide AoE CC. That old system fair for the player because it's broken and is unfair for the AI. They might as well give you a button to autowin every non-boss fight since you can round everyone up and just perma CC them all starting at turn 1.

At least Wit stat is more useful than lolCON. That stat is still a noobtrap.
