I'm not even sure whether Larian still takes suggestions or not, but here it is anyway:

My wife and I started playing a multiplayer game together, which is loads of fun. But I want to also play alone, just cause I want more Divinity time.

The problem is - if I start a new game now, it will be exactly the same. Yes, different characters and possibly different decisions, but everything else will be the same - I'll know how many and which enemies are in every area, which quests to do and how to do them, etc.

I thought it could be really cool if some of those things would be random. For example, instead of always having 3 level 3 undeads, there can maybe be one level 5, or 4 level 2, etc. Basically it sounds to me like there's a challenge rating to each encounter, and you can randomly draw enemies to match that rating. I think this could work well for combats.

I'm not so sure about quests, and obviously adding content there is more more complicated, but maybe a pool of side-quests, out of which only some are picked each game. Maybe some quests can have alternative parameters (find X instead of Y, etc.).

Larian does still take suggestions, but the current encounters were all hand designed, so I wouldn't expect them to be randomized. They could be changed in a higher difficulty mode, or something.

I'd expect there to eventually be mods to add respawning, change the configuration or difficulty of combat situations, etc.

How many and which enemies are where: true, but they will react differently if you approach the fight differently or with different characters. I have never seen the same fight play out exactly the same.

Which quests to do and how to do them: most, if not all, quests have more than one solution. If you want to replay it, go for the completely opposite solution.
