Aaand finished it. Well, at least the first island. Larian has found a solid combat system. The fight in the abandoned camp was real fun. Difficult but not punishable hard, you always have the idea you can get through it.
Going to respect just once (and stick with it) in the ship now that I have some idea on the mechanics. Had some inspiration from
http://divinityoriginalsin2.wiki.fextralife.com/Builds, but don't want to copy them one-on-one. Looking for fun builds that don't make things extra difficult. Thinking of:
- Warfare + necromancy for the red prince. Necromancy sounds *reaaal* fun.
- Pure hydro build for Lohse. Could I do without healing? A battlemage + pyro is appealing
- Huntsman + Summoning for Ifan. I want to avoid summoning as I played it in the original DOS but Ifan his special skill is a pet that benefits from it so... otherwise I could throw elemental stuff in.
- Unchanged dual dagger scoundrel + poly for my main, Fane
Caveat, I only have one melee in there (the red prince).
Tip: look out for vines
I still missed several paths that could get me past difficult fights to level up first.
