So far, I really like DOS 2, except for a few items:

Elves. Cannibals. Seriously. It's creepy. Definitely creative, but for someone who likes elves, it was a shock, and I did not like it. They're also too emaciated and scary looking. I view them as horror story versions of elves.

A good amount of healing magic is Necromancy. I tried creating a cleric and they gave me Necromancy spells and such. Again. Creative as most games associate Necromancy with Evil magic. Regardless, I don't like it.

Origin companion choices are, again, a bit unattractive. The Red Prince is insulting and totally arrogant. Sebille, like Astarion, puts a weapon to my throat as soon as I meet her. Fane is also a butt and arrogant. So, I like Lohse, Ifan and Beast. At least a full party. But I hardly know them, so I hope I at least continue to like them. I'm a bit leery.

Other than that, it's good. I like Pathfinder and Solasta a bit more so far, but that could change. I'm still not totally familiar with the combat system, but it's growing on me. Reminds me almost of Pokemon. Lightning beats water. Water beats fire. 😁
