A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition

I had bought this on GOG a couple years ago and had intended on getting back to it, it has taken me a few hours to wrap my head around what this game actually is as I was trying to complete all the quest for the first main area Fort Joy, but after watching Divinity: Original Sin 2 is an RPG Lover's Dream by Ghostcharm it's clicked and I am trying to be more open to not winning every situation as if it was a more genuine adventure.

With a 93/100 on OpenCritic for the original release, PCGamer had this to say;

Playing Divinity: Original Sin 2 is uncannily like playing a tabletop RPG. The way that Larian’s sequel embraces player creativity immediately conjures up memories of days spent sitting around a table, asking the Dungeon Master if I can attempt the last stupid idea that floated into my head. And like a good DM, Original Sin 2 usually answers that question with “Yes, you can attempt it.”

My only regret is that I got it on GOG as it was cheaper, which has made mods less friendly without the Steam Workshop, but it was a lot cheaper at the time and hasn't gone below $15.74 on Steam since.

Welcome to the fold! It truly is one of my favorite games of all time.

Don’t forget you can play as any main character at all and change completely how they look. It’s pretty rad. (You probably figured that out already lol)

I’m on probably my tenth run through. Always something new.

I personally always complete every fight they have because it’s super fun and nets plenty of experience. But skipping some to get off the island it’s also fun.

Hope you have a good time!
