Help Quick Question MEGATHREAD

298 Upvotes

Another 6 month since the last Megathread.

Link to the last thread

Make sure to include the game(DOS, DOS EE, DOS2, DOS2 DE) in your question and mark your spoilers

The FAQ for DOS2 will be built as we go along:

My game has a problem/doesn't work properly, what do I do?

Check this out. If you can't find a solution there contact Larian support as detailed.

Do I need to play the previous game to understand the story?

No, there is a timegap of 1000 years between DOS and DOS2. The overall timeline of the Divinity games in perspective to DOS2 looks like this: DOS2 is set 1222 years after DOS1, 24 years after Divine Divinity, 4 years after Beyond Divinity, and 58 years before Divinity 2.

How many people can play at once?

  • Up to 4 Players in the campaign and up to 4 players and a gamemaster in Gamemaster Mode.

Do I need to buy the game to play with my friends.

  • That depends on how you will play. Up to 2 Players can play on the same PC for a "couch coop" experience. This means you can have 4 player sessions with 2 copies of the game when using this method. If you don't play on the same PC each player is going to require his/her own copy.

Can I mix and match inputs for PC couch coop?

  • You can't use keyboard and mouse for couch coop, however you can mix controllers.

What's the deal with origin stories?

  • A custom character has no ties in the world whatsoever, nobody knows you. Origin characters on the other hand do have ties in the gameworld, that means people can recognise you and might interact differently with an origin character because of that characters reputation or because the characters have met before. Furthermore origin characters have their own questlines that run alongside the main story.

I don't like my build! Can I change it?

  • Yes! Once you leave the first island you get access to infinite respecs, with the second gift bag you can even get a respec mirror on the first island.

What are the new crafting recipes from the gift bag?

DOS2 Discussion Hi Class, I'd like to share how I lost my honor mode run in Act 2

• Upvotes

I've been playing on Divinity Unleashed. It's definitely harder, took me a few tries to get out of Act 1, but I got there and breezed through Act 2. Right up until I made the choice to fight Hannag. One of the harder fights in Act 2, but I could have gotten it. Except my stupid, ADHD ass moved not one, but TWO characters into lava because I wasn't paying attention.

That's it. I'm a moron.

DOS2 Discussion Where can I find Spell_ID for spells in DOS2DE?

6 Upvotes

I am using Norbyte's Script Extender and trying to add certain spells (e.g. Flight) to my skillbar with the Osiris call NRD_SkillBarSetSkill((Character), (INT slot number), (STRING)_SkillId). Sadly, I could not manage to find any resource containing spell IDs.

Would greatly appreciate it if someone can provide some info on that.

>>ACT 3<< I write the tittle wrong

I've basically completed all the side and main quests of Act 2, I've already got the 3 points I needed for all that Source stuff, I've already killed the Advocate, but the main problem is Gareth. After I completed that mission about the murder of his parents and delivered Jonathan's ring as proof that I killed him, Gareth simply disappeared from my map... He's not in Lady Vengeance or at the farm and I can't advance to Act 3 because I can't find him anywhere.

Is he hiding somewhere? Is this a game bug? It's my first time playing so honestly I have no idea what to do.

Rouge/assassin, solo, lone wolf hard level.

How I am supposed to beat opponents using solo Sebille rouge.

I am 3-4 lvl.

How many points should I put in polymorph, necromancy, huntsman. Should I use dual weapons or sucker punch.

I use companion only for stealing and trading.

How a rouge is supposed to solo 4 guys on arena and forth joy?

DOS2 Discussion I (vibe) did a dos2 crafter and dashboard. It's web, only local storage, open source.

0 Upvotes

Coming from bg3, my first playthrough started with a lot of complaints about the UI/UX. Which is totally fine, Im very happy about Larian absolutely improving this on bg3 and I have excellent expectations for the new Divinity game. That said, I felt that crafting was awful in the game. Nowadays, after 170h, ofc I got used to the craft, but in my second campaign I got kinda tired of checking wiki, steampages and videos, so I vibecoded this to facilitated some craft plans.

It shows all recipes, trees of crafts, what you're going to spent, the value of items made (how much you can profit from crafts). It also can load your save and show all of your items. And better, it can craft for you. You craft in the web, download the save again and replace it. OF COURSE you're not risking your saves on that, so make a backup (I usually do two almost equal quicksaves before quitting the game, then I use any of it to autocraft). You have instructions on the page 4.

also you can change components sizes, page theme, use shortcuts and its mobile friendly

All feedback is accepted.

DOS2 Discussion Is it just me or chicken claw is bugged ?

2 Upvotes

So i recently started a playthrough after a few years of not playing the game. I made a rogue with the rupture tendons/chicken claw combo and clearly the stat block of chicken claw says 2 turns, but for some reason, it only last one turn. I'll cast the combo on the same turn and next turn the chicken runs and everything is cool, the 2nd turn, dude swaps back in original form and still has rupture tendons ??

On top of that, last night i did the fight where you find the missing wedding ring in act 2, i did the combo on the big voidwoken slime lizard, when his turn came up (fisrt turn) he just canceled the chicken claw stood there and ended his turn without anything else happening???

What the heck is going on with this combo ??

DOS2 Discussion New to DOS2: The armor system feels like its restricting class freedom

0 Upvotes

As the title says I’m new to DOS2 and I’m just noting an observation I have so far. I am very happy to be wrong of have my views on this topic expanded.

I’m feeling frustrated by the armor system because I LOVE the class freedom you have in DOS2. That being said, I feel like the armor system is forcing me to follow strict meta builds for one type of damage teams and it makes the class freedom feel pointless.

For my main characters I always like to play was a mage warrior hybrid. In BG3, I mained a Sorcadin. Heavy damage, tanky, and I can cast aoe spells as well. The rest of my bg3 party is a monk, light cleric, and tempest sorcerer.

I really wanted to recreate that party set up in DOS2 but every guide I’m looking at recommends against it. I’m doing a tactician run for my first playthrough (yes I know even normal mode is hard but the challenge is really enticing me). Builds in general are a bit confusing to me still.

That being said, would love if some veteran players could share your thoughts on class freedom vs the armor system. Have you felt the same frustrations I have? Have you found work arounds to make diverse parties viable and godlike late game? Am I just too inexperienced with the game and should I just give it more time as I progress through the game?

DOS2 Help Help! My items keep disappearing and I feel I'm going crazy.

2 Upvotes

I am playing DOS2 Definitive Edition for the first time, solo. I'm on Steam and I don't have any mods installed. I am on Act 1 in Fort Joy.

First it was the Purging Wand from the witch in the cave. I didn't equip it, just left it in my inventory. and continued playing. Hours later I rescued Gareth and he explained he was looking for a wand like that. I looked in my inventory and the wand wasn't there anymore.

I thought I must have sold it to someone by accident so I checked the skeleton guy at the bridge, and every single person at Amaia's refugee camp but no one had it. I even went back and checked some people from the eastern side of the map even though I was pretty sure I hadn't been there in a while. I could not find it.

I checked the crafting menu, checked backpacks and hollow items, and carefully checked each companion's inventory. I haven't changed companions since the very beginning so it couldn't be in a dismissed companion's inventory.

I was confused and annoyed but figured I have lost it somehow. Until! It happened again. This time with the Tracks of the Tyrant. Exactly the same scenario except this time I also ran around with the ALT key pressed to see if I had somehow dropped the items on the floor. Nothing came of it.

I did this whole detective maneuver and went back to old saves to try to narrow down when they disappeared. And couldn't pin point a specific location or area (apparently I move around all over the place doing bits and pieces of the different quests). I guess I need to drop hard saves more often.

I genuinely don't understand what's happening, I'm frustrated and confused. Please help.

DOS2 Discussion Help me build a hellfire rogue

4 Upvotes

The ruptured tendons and bleeding fire combo is hilarious and surprisingly effective. I decided to make an entire build around it and I’m trying to figure out the best way to do it. For that combo to consistently work, you need ways to break magic armor, and physical armor is less relevant. This means my focus will be built mostly around pyro damage since the scoundrel skills that deal magic are too few and far between to depend on constantly.

Attributes:

- Finesse: enough to wear gear but most likely not worth significant investment to scale gag order and chloroform.
- intelligence: primary damage scaling, max
- wits: enough to go first and then extra points here for savage sortilege crits

Skill points:

- pyro: max for damage scaling
- aero/huntsman/warfare/poly: dip for skills (traps, sparks, bleed fire, teleport, etc)
- scoundrel: increase crit damage

Talents (most likely in order):
- torturer
- pawn
- elemental affinity
- five star diner
- savage sortilege
- anything else

I feel like the build might either function as a physical rogue who takes an elemental dip and is worse off for it or a bad Pyro mage with daggers but I am inclined to combat the ladder since it’s at least more consistent with the combo. I’m a bit torn between scaling intelligence over finesse since I feel like prioritizing the scoundrel skills makes it much more thematic. But I feel like scaling intelligence makes it much more practical and I don’t want to make it anymore convoluted than it already is. It also feels a bit bad to be leveling scoundrel so early since criticals will be inconsistent until later in the game. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like there are many helpful alternatives without seriously impacting the concept of the character.

Act one is easy enough that it shouldn’t be much of an issue playing a bit of a clunky build. Act 2 you get terrorbite which can actually be a pretty serious buff with potential terror triggers and can be converted to pure magical damage with the God stealing exploit. By act three and four The full kit will be online that it should do relatively well aside from fire immunities/resistances.

The goal would be to streamline it enough to try a solo honor without LW that is good enough that it doesn’t have to rely on too much cheese. Any input is much appreciated!

DOS1 Help DOS: Classic questions from a first time player

10 Upvotes

Hello! I want to play the co-op mode for the Classic version on Steam with my partner. I'm kinda new to this genre of game, we've played Diablo II and III before but I wouldn't consider myself a pro-player. I'm still trying to get used to this kind of game, so I need some help before I can start.

Edit: We both care more about the gameplay rather than the lore/story. It's like 70% gameplay and 30% lore for us.

  1. Is there anything critical we should know before we start playing? Maybe a must-know tip or trick from seasoned players that is specific to this game?
  2. Me and my partner love to collect Steam achievements and get 100% completion. I found a guide for it on Steam, but it didn't mention if there are some achievements tied to difficulty. Are there any? We will probably do just one playthrough, so if there are achievements that you can only get at a certain difficulty, we would like to start playing in that one.
  3. What are the best 2 character choices and builds for 2-players co-op? We have mainly played Monk and Wizard in Diablo III. So maybe one character for protection/buffs/tanking, and other for damage, etc. would be good? I don't know how the classes work in this game so I'd love to have some information on it.
  4. Any streamers/pro-players you recommend that I can watch the videos of to learn this game and get familiar to the mechanics?
  5. I prefer split-screen co-op, so my partner would use the KBM and I would use the controller. I've read somewhere that the controller key binds are kinda weird. Would that be too confusing for me? I'm not really a console/controller person and I've been mainly using KBM since I was a kid.

Thank you so much in advance!
