![]() ![]() You don’t always have to fight however, as with the character development you have lots of options as you explore each area. That does require some prior knowledge and there were quite a few fights that I had to repeat over and over again until I found a tactic that worked, though as I progressed through the game and my characters gained more skills and I became more experienced getting stuck became far less of an issue. If you know a battle is coming you can split up your team and set them up in advantageous positions, like giving an archer high ground for a damage bonus, or prepare the battlefield to make use of the potent elemental effects you can use, such as putting oil down to slow advancing enemies, which you can then set alight to create a wall of flame. Original Sin 2 is a tough game, until you get a grasp of the mechanics you will be punished and you will die (saving often is a very good idea), with a dead character staying dead until you use a quite rare Resurrection Scroll to bring them back in most cases. ![]() Maximising the damage you’re doing with the AP you have is the key to victory, though clever positioning and tactics will help you survive as well. If you end your turn without using all your AP it will carry over to your next turn. Moving will use AP, the further you move the more it costs, and each action will take a certain amount of AP. Again this is important as having a team (if you go that route) that compliments one another and works well together makes all the difference in battle.īattles are turn based with each character having a certain amount of Action Points to use on each turn. The Red Prince, Beast and Ifan Ben-Mezd round out your choices and when you choose them to accompany you they’ll ask what sort of warrior you want them to be and you have full control over their stats as they level up and what skills you want them to learn. Lohse is a human performer whose mind is infested with demons, sometimes being overwhelmed by them. ![]() Fane is an Eternal who wants to find out what happened to the rest of his race, whilst learning about the world as it is now. Sibelle is an elf who was controlled by her master through a scar on her cheek and now wants revenge for all the terrible things he made her do. As I mentioned each character has an underlying plot of their own as well. Beginning the game with a power dampening Source-collar on, you must first escape and then see where your adventure takes you. Sourcerers are now being rounded up by the Divine Order and taken to Fort Joy where they’re being ‘cured’ as it is believed Voidwoken, monsters and demons effectively, are being drawn from the Void to our dimension by Source users. Each character is a Sourcerer, someone who has the ability to control Source for magic purposes. Although whoever you chose initially will be the leader you can take control of anyone in your party and different people will have different conversations, based on race, background or if you’ve put stats into things like Persuasion. This means you can see the majority of their story as they accompany you. As well as all the mixing and matching of skills and classes you can choose whether to take on the adventure alone or have a group of up to four people on the journey, made up of the characters you didn’t choose at the beginning. However it’s this flexibility with the character builds that, despite being an incredibly long RPG, will allow you to replay it over and over again. How you build your character will make things easier or harder as you play through the game, with the difficulty you choose making things more difficult or pretty much impossible if you mess up your build. You can also create your own character from scratch if you choose and even if you pick a pre-made character you can then customise their appearance, stats and skills before you start. They’re all interesting in their own right so picking one can be tough. There are six pre-made characters to begin with, who each have backstories giving them a goal beyond the main story arc. It can be a bit overwhelming at first, as you’re allowed to pick or create a character. The incredibly well received old-school style, isometric RPG has been reworked to function with a controller and it’s really, really good.
