Some friends and I are doing a game club thing where we each pick a game for everyone to play each month. It's my turn next month, and I picked Divinity 2, since it's still my favorite game. I finished this month's game early and so thought I'd play through it now and put together a list of stuff they might want to know, from which choices affect what and which if any are optimal (in spoiler text ofc) to stuff like "mindread everyone" and "you can't buy a house, it's a scam, but it still might be worthwhile if you do FoV."
Which brings me to my question: What are some tips, tricks, things to be sure you don't miss, skills/techniques that seem cool but are actually trash or hidden gems, etc that you know of and think would be useful to have as a first time player?
