Giving him different abilities that are strictly tied to the four elemental schools doesn't quite cut it. I prefer different creatures, with varied appearances and interesting unique abilities that reflect their nature. Of course, they also have increasing overall combat capability to make leveling up as a summoner exciting.



Summon Artillery Plant (Geomancer 3 [1 SP])

Raise Bloated Corpse (Necromancer 1)

Raise Bone Widow (Necromancer 2)

Totems of the Necromancer (Necromancer 5 [3 SP])

Summon Fire Slug (Pyrokinetic 3 [1 SP])

Summon Oily Blob (Polymorph 2)

Wind-Up Toy (Scoundrel 3)


Obviously you can't take points into all those schools, but you can pick a couple if you want variety in summons, and they all get benefit from summoning.


Those still felt pretty weak and limiting. There should be a lot more variety for the summoner and undead classes.
Totems don't really feel like summoned creatures, more like a tool. As for the summons, most of the time you will summon the same boring creature that just has different elements since that is what they focused the design around. Thematically it feels very underwhelming. My two favorite classes in other games are my least favorite in this game because they are borked. There has to be a way to get the theme right and balance it.

Well, fair enough. I can understand wanting more summons if you don't like the existing ones or feel they're not great.

Good Day-

I have a question about the Game Preview vs the new one thats coming out tomorrow. I purchased the game preview via xbox1. Do I need to purchase the new version when it drops tomorrow? Or will it be some kind of patch/upgrade/update to the current version i have already purchased?

sincerely-

Ray

You don't have to purchase the game again. The preview will indeed be upgraded to the full version.

The gamma slider seems to be broken, it only affects the UI leaving the gameplay screen too dark to see things in caverns, dungeons etc. Please can this be fixed asap, as it's making the game almost impossible to play?

Hello,
I would like to notify Larian DOS2 PS4 team about the long load time...
At the beginning of the game, loading a save is very quick, but arriving in ARX, loading a save is very very long...

PS : Please continue, i love all your games, and I would love to see a game like Divinity ego draconis (with dragon transformation), Himps, gobelins, on PS4...

If you are still reading it all, please update the "Latest News" section of this website with release notes.

There is nothing since June and there has been the DE and various patches since then.

You were excellent about documenting changes before the DE and now - absolute silence apart from vague descriptions on Steam.

Come on! This is your website - sort it out smile

Man, I read now the title of this thread and it's so sad. "They are reading it all" yet the Definitive Edition has the exact same problems that the vanilla game had, except now there's a squirrel following you.

A squirrel that loves to walk on fire also, and it's near damn impossible to keep alive for the entire game. frown

It is not a problem if the squirrel is not alive, even dead he will follow you during the entire game as a ghost and will reward you some Skill book recipes time to time (each time you enter a new area)...
But as I wrote in another topic, this squirrel is a nuisance even as a ghost he block your team joining you when you climb on a ladder (he follow you, and can't climb a ladder), the other members of your team can't use the ladder to reach you because this %#@ Sir Lora is between them and the ladder !!!
