Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Help/Tips/Tricks Suggestions for main character and balanced Party

Hi

I would really appreciate some guidance, am really keen to get stuck in the game which looks amazing, but a bit overwhelmed by the huge number of variables in character creation and party builds options. I've been reading on these forums that mages and to a lesser extent rogues have been nerfed/hobbled. Is this the case and should I concentrate on fighters and rangers?

I am not new to RPGs and have played all previous Divinity games, but this one seems in a class of its own both in terms of quality but also complexity ☺!

So if people are able to share what seems to be working for them (with as much detail as possible please) that would be great!
