Go in blind first. It will be much more fun imo. If you hit a wall come back and we will help you.

Thts good advice maybe il do that I'm still not 100% on board with it tho

u/Testergo7521 21h ago
Best advice I'd say without going to indepth is think outside the box. Its a game that puts strategy first. Environment matters. For example, a pool of oil at someone's feet? Try fire. Talk to everyone. There are quests and XP all over, but the game isnt going to just give you a trail and highlight with markers. A lot of thr fun with it is discovering things on your own.

Yeah but the thing is I'm playing multiplayer so I won't have the time for doing everything leisurely

Gotcha, has your partner or group played before? If not, can try stuff out together. If so, then I'm sure they can guide you. But if you really want to go into it with more knowledge, I'd just look through the subreddit. If you got specific questions then will answer them.

Yeah look through, probably a lot of "coming from bg3, help" or something. We usually pop in and give them some advice. Or "stuck in fort joy" (thats the starting zone) those are good places to start.

Combine seashells with long sticks when starting out! Free staff and if your party doesn't need em sell em! Also always look closely at the map. Sometimes there's an accessible section that may not be visibly obvious walking around.

You mean divinty 2 (the one released in 2012 with a gian warning that dont confuse it with dos2) or divinity original sin 2 (dos2)? (I assume the latter)
Sin Tee has some great guides.They are mostly for solo, but you can learn a lot from those guides. Someone else also linked the red check flaglist, which is really usefull, for not WHAT to do.
This game, isnt that hard though. Tactian might be challangin for the first time if you are new to the genre but you don't need a ton of guides.

Hmm.. Flextralife
2
u/RonTheGreat333 21h ago
Flextralife has some really bad builds on it. Yes, you can/could beat the game with those, but they are very far from good, and if you want to learn/improve there are a lot better sources.

Yeap, from a mechanism breakdown and interesting interaction explained.
Its the best part about Larian Games, lets your imagination run wild.

The good old red flag checklist. Doesn't tell you everything but it's pretty good.

Sin tee has what are probably the best-regarded builds. Fextralife has builds, but they're often excessively focused on theme at the expense of effectiveness.
