So I took the plunge and bought myself Divinity Original Sin 2. It's certainly a good base of a game but I'm not really satisfied with the content. Not necessarily the quantity but the variance. I have a lot of little gripes with it that I cannot recall having with Dragon Age. The characters absolutely don't appeal to me and neither are the preset abilities. What makes it worse is that they actively try to discourage you from picking a custom character instead try to make you choose between their story characters. Of course I chose a story character in fear I would be missing out. Yet so far not only are the characters and their back stories boring (or boringly presented) but it also hasn't had any impact whatsoever.
I think I might start over with a custom character and do some things a little bit differently. The standard difficulty is ok but challenging. From what I've seen so far it doesn't look like the game will let me to grind my level to become too powerful, which is a bummer for me. If I ever find out that they scale the enemy level to mine it's going straight into the trash.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
