Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Suggestions and Feedback Combat is too frequent. And YES, I am a GIRL!

there is a lot of freedom in the game. so it's up to you to decide how much combat you really want in your game.
most of the combat situations can be avoided, talked out or cheesed with enough explosives (for example iirc you can escape fort joy without any combat at all)… though I don't recommend it cuz you'll loose a lot of exp that way, which will make the game harder

also in the later stages of the game (act2+) there will be more explorations, so if you'll need\want you can mix it with unavoidable combats to ease your "boredom"
