In Divine Divinity, players could freely choose their character’s name, class (Warrior, Mage, Survivor), gender, skills, and portrait. It was entirely customizable™.
Yet the official lore now retroactively claims Lucian as the canonical Divine — the hero whose deeds you performed.
This canonization feels unnecessary and undermines player freedom and agency.
It retroactively overwrites the personal story many players created and takes away the sense of ownership over the original adventure.

There were far better alternatives:

Keep the hero unnamed in the lore — simply refer to them as “the Hero” or “the Divine One.”

Use a title-only approach while maintaining full in-game customization.

I'm building an all magic team, So far things are operating smoothly (playing classic) but I see myself not running optimally with my setup, and wondering if anyone can help give me advice.

My team is a Summoner, Geo/Hydro, Archer, and Pyro/Aero. The issue is, my Pyro/Aero is turning more into a battlemage that doesn't really use Aero at all, and I can't figure out how to operate my Archer as elemental. I just reached outside the Fort Joy area (still Act 1 just killed all the magisters in the fort) so I understand that the builds might not be operating as intended yet, however as it stands I'm more of a 75% magic 25% physical split on damage, which is fine if everything moves fine but as I stated, it's not how I intended to play. I use Elemental Arrowheads for the Archer when possible but most of the time I'm not near any elements, as for the Pyro/Aero he seems more of a Pyro/Warrior, which honestly is a TON of fun, but not really getting anything Aero out of him. Maybe that comes later with more skills? As for the Archer i know I'm supposed to use crafted arrows but it's so hard to come by materials or arrows that I end up saving what I have and he ends up almost pure physical.

My questions are.

1. How am I supposed to build/use an elemental Archer?
2. How do I get Aero into the Pyro/Aero properly and any idea on how to build out his stat?
3. Should I switch my Archer to Pyro/Aero distance mage and just keep the current Pyro/Aero as a battlemage?

Side Question: Whats the best way to make money? Skill books are expensive.

BG3 frame rate dropped quite a lot after the last Nvidia driver update (4080 series). It seems to only effect BG3.Is there something can be done?
Nothing to do with mods, before the update BG3 was fine, after the update it slowed down. My Cyberpunk 2077 has more mods than my BG3, and it is running fine.

Here are picture examples of where the spot stuttes are happeninging in my current playtrough.Remember sometimes these stutter spots move to otherplcaes.In my current and last 2 playtroughs these spot stutters where elswhere but now are around these spots.(the middle of bridges)Before they where around the walls of the blight village and on my last 2 and current playtroughs they somehow moved to these new spots on bridges.

It's very specific how it's so far they happened around bridges and around the walks around the blighted village.It feels like some sort of asset loading bug.I also re-installed the gpu driver,steam,bg3,new save(even carried over an old save after uninstalling bg3 and deleting everything related to it in the appdata folder) yet these spot stutters still happen or change position.

Like I said I've been playing this game since beta.This mostly started with patch 8 and I've re-isntalled w10 multiple times and I've DDU cleaned various gpu drivers from really old to the latest.

Does anyone know a work around to edit the dream guardian mid game? Appearance Editor Enhanced, a great tool, doesn't do this. I'm a novice at the toolkit and script extender. thank you!

I decided to do an honour run in patch eight as I was bored on my bank holiday, so is gossamer tomb on the spider matriarch supposed to be literally every time you swat a little spider as my whole team got webbed and died with zero chance? Hours of my life I will never get back again, as that my friends is over powered.
Also please please Larian, dont do another table top die game as your RNG generator is terrible still just like it was in the early days when I bought it when there was only half of act 1. Nobody and I mean nobody playing tabletop has continously low rolls like I had today unless they are cursed by the devil or something.
