Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Suggestions and Feedback Arx is TERRIBLE

my issue with the cursed revenants is that they're currently bugged, from what i've seen. i just use my rogue to sneak past them when i get to that point in the game, rather than fight an endless battle because there's necrofire in the walls or whatever

if it had been executed better then it would have been fine

my issue with arx is that despite how big and interesting-looking the city is, there's deceptively little to do. aside from the main quest and a couple of other lines, you just spend most of the time running around and selling loot to vendors (and i really do mean selling, because by this point in the game i'm barely buying anything, so i'm just stockpiling cash for nothing in particular since the game is about to end). there are far less side quests in this area than there were in driftwood, and most of the scenery is the same (you're either in a dungeon or running through the streets). fort joy was terrific, driftwood was terrific, i noticed a slight impatience with the nameless isle in that it goes by rather quickly, though i don't think it by itself is considered a full act. then you get to arx and the game seems to come to a complete standstill; there's no real direction, no quest markers (aside from maybe one?) and aside from potential companion quests you're pretty much resigned to aimlessly wandering through places that look important talking to people who look important (and being disappointed at least half the time when the person turns out to be completely irrelevant to the story). that or looking things up on the internet, which no one should fault you for

i've been loving this game and playing it pretty much exclusively for the past week or so but there is a noticeable dip in quality as the game nears the end and it does feel rushed. the quests are more of a mess and the journal is especially unhelpful. the city itself looks nice, i just wish it delivered more in terms of content

overall though, this is probably one of my favourite rpgs (or games in general) of all time
