Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General Game is impossible for casual players

This is my first larian game, it can be frustrating at moments but here is some advice which makes the game a lot easier (I play classic dif):

1) focus all members of your party on either physical or magical damage, dont mix them.
2) one level can make an enormous difference , a fight that is impossible at level 11 can be a breeze at level 12. Dont engage higher level enemies but search for enemies (or quests) of your level first.
3) If you go for a magic party then get the artillery plant skill ASAP, it feels like a cheat code at times.
4) any damage your summons take isn't on the rest of your party, especially in physical parties are incarnates and spiders great
5) in some battles (like alexander) can you split the enemies, lure some throught a gateway while others stay far behind
6) in act 2 can you refill source an unlimited number of times at a certain location, use this before hard battles
