Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General Act 1 vs rest of the game

DOS1 does not interest me at all as I don't played it. This is DOS2, period.

Act 2 is the open world so many people cried for. You have to explore carefully and at first you are a bit lost, at least I was, similar to Act 1 at the start of the EA, only worse. But you can think a bit and look at the NPCs in an area and change, if they are too high.

It works more or less well. At least on Classic, what I play. Quests near Driftwood town are usually lower than farer away. Logical. I arrived at level 8 (or 9?) and you can go nearly to 11 in and around Driftwood. Then you go to the cave of Mordus, and so on.

I usually managed to be on par with the level of the mobs, with some exceptions. I fought Ryker with me two levels higher which is of course bad/boring. I fought Mummy Dearest without intention with lvl 14 and she disembowelled both my main and Sebille in her first move (I don't know how Lohse plus incarnate and Ifan won that fight, but they did). Such a dangerous old lady.

On Tactician all may be more distorted and cheesy but on Classic it feels quite harmonious, even the item stats bloat does not hit that hard.
