Killing off or ditching too many of Fort Joy’s potential companions in the first act can leave you with a severely underpowered party that will struggle to brute force their way through some of Divinity 2’s difficulty spikes. It also, in my experience, requires a certain amount of selective roleplaying. The blurb asks for cunning, resourcefulness, and preparedness. While Classic Mode is officially considered Divinity: Original Sin 2’s ‘normal’ difficulty, it’s far more demanding than the ‘normal’ you might find in any triple-A RPG.
Is another 50 or 100 hours of this experience worth it? But, of course, there’s another significant investment involved in playing this uncompromising RPG: time.
The upgrade is completely free for those who already own the game, which makes the purchasing decision easy for the many among you who picked up this Steam bestseller already.
