I am getting a bit old, finding my self somehow 61 years. My 30 year old son and I are playing this together and having more fun than we had experienced since the original Vanilla WoW. This is, without a doubt, one of the best RPG’s I have ever played. Hours go by when it feels like only minutes have passed. If you like this genre, you need to play it.
Whats your character build? :D
If you have the time for it consider streaming on a website like Twitch. It's not that you can expect the riches of Solomon but it's a nice way to earn something on the side and older wholesome older streamers do tend to reach significant followings relatively quickly.
And today you can play Baldurs Gate 3, I wish I had a father to play with
have you played BG3 yet?
they deserve every bit of success as they care for gamers.
I have to be careful when I play divinity 2. It's way too easy to loose time.
yeah, you walk around, a fight pops up, you fight and boom - an hour passed :D
Last night I looked at my 3 separate times and each time an hour passed. Its been at least 5 years since thats happened to me. Well, excluding the witcher 3 but i havent been this captivated in so long. -ps4 enhanced version-
I usually waste hours on inventory management and blacksmithing, it's frustrating but that is the only flaw of the game
@@syro2412 But then there is that satisfying feeling of organization.
Zirix - I agree, almost therapeutic in a way
One thing I should mention: Nearly all 'X Facts about Y' videos have very little flow. They're just. FACT. FACT. FACT.
This video, however, has great flow. The facts just blend with each other so well that I forgot it was a fact video - it feels like a documentary with how well it flows! Nice job!
Game dev companies should learn more from Larian Studios. They make such detailed games and they care about the gaming community.
@JamesWhisky 2 years later did they resolve your issues?
@@seanhoedlmoser1739 6 months later did they resolve the issues.
@@rodrigoestebanmartinezardi6661 How about now?
@@johnmurdock5710 They didn't doesn't reallly matter tho. DOS 2 is a great game
corporate execs and external shareholders get inbetween the dev\studio - customer\gamer relationship and ruin everything.
They care a lot about the community and thus gain success. Huh, who knew?!!?
why cant they show other companies DA WAE...............
JimYurripe working hard is no trick to success. It's just easier being lazy.
80% of Development budgets go to Advertising, using Kickstarter takes away all of this
So basically the opposite of EA? Got it.
I know right!?
Meanwhile... AAA companies spending hundreds of millions just for their game to end up in a trashcan.
*glares at Anthem and 76*
That is precisely because they DON'T care about their community anymore! They think they still do but don't ask for opinions and wants any longer. If people get too much money on their hand they all start to look only upwards and lose the bonds to the people they consider below!!! The greatest games of old, all came from companies with little money that bet all on this one game they were developing! It was the moment they got access to great money sources for their next games that they didn't consult their player bases any longer and just started developing blindly! And, who would have thought went under!!! Larian is one of very few that held onto their philosophy this long!!! Larian, do you exist forever!!!
They start losing fans when they themselves start losing the love of the game. When it's no longer fun to make, and it becomes a grind to just get the next game out, it shows, and we can see it. It's those studios who actually love what they're doing and want to breathe life into their games that grab our attention and fandom. CDP Red and these folks are great examples.
@@Tanson32 all hail CDPR a better, more expansive, better graphics, story, lore, characters, everything on 10% the budget to Activision games.

@@sladegorski9136 Because they're smart probably.
@@gchnookums4951 i heard that the order is important for the NPCs to not realize they shouldnt run, not sure which is the right one

I dumped every minute of my free and waking time for 4 weeks into this game. Time and money well spent.
Larian studio has the attitude of old blizzard.... i cant belive how much love they put in this game
Such an amazing game, I can’t wait to see what larian does next, be it DLC, or another divinity game.
BALDURS GATE 3!!!!!!! omggggggg
@@thebestmediocregamer I'm very young so crpgs were completely lost to me I'm hoping baldurs gate 3 may be my first. Know any info on it or a lore rundown?
@@thatsalotofdamage8568 you can check out baldurs gate 2 for an idea on how the game is gonna be although i can't promise larian will switch things up with the 3rd installment, larian studios are the best! lore wise it's great to check up on DnD sites and read up on the countless lore the world provides!
@@thebestmediocregamer k. Thanks
@@thatsalotofdamage8568 Baldur's Gate 3 follows your character and allies as they deal with the Cult of the Dead Three (three evil aligned gods who became mortal after they hecked up) and how they are destroying the city of Baldur's Gate in the Forgotten Realms (DnD lore is fun). It also apparently ties into the Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus adventure module for 5th edition DnD (read this from a blog so don't take it as gospel. The bit about the tie-in not the Dead Three bit, that's confirmed.)
I recently started playing this game and it is byfar the best RPG (alongside the Witcher) I've played all year. 100% recommend it even if you aren't a fan of strategy games you could probably get into it, give it a try if you like in-depth rpg's with a lot of replay ability.
+RedBlood GAMING agreed! Thanks for your comment - Darrian
RedBlood GAMING you said the magic word “Replayability”.....I’m in👍🏼
this game is superior to the Witcher franchise in every way. Maybe because its actually fun and you arent forced to play as a default non-customizable old man who sounds like hes constantly contemplating suicide 24/7
i 100% disagree, the witcher definitely has a better story and in my opinion better character design, but that's just my opinion, geralt is such a unique character for an RPG, i love em.
+RedBlood GAMING
the story bored the hell outta me and barely got me interested and Geralt himself is such a boring protagonist, every time he opens his mouth he sounds both hungover and as if hes contemplating suicide.
lol the AI was to good so they had to dumb it down ... there's a first in everything i guess
Oblivion had the same problem... but their AI ruined quest progression by not allowing the transfer of gold.
@@tkgwildfire5339 Lol not even. Oblivion had good AI the same way Skyrim had infinite quests: if your standards are abysmally low to the point of not even existing in the first place, then sure... Arguably.
@@sugmabolzack4971 Naturally Oblivion had a feature where NPCs had the ability to influence their own economy by buying and stealing, this got out of had when drug addicts started to kill the drug dealer NPC for having drugs even though it was a quest necessary NPC.
In some cases, it makes sense. Like zombies trying to avoid fire surfaces. Like, wtf? Why these brainless zombies are aware to harm?
Also bandits were seeking innocents so they started attacking citirs and killing npcs along with skeletons
You forgot to mention what's quite possibly the coolest and most important Origin character (story wise): Fane the Undead Eternal
It's hard to mention him without giving spoilers, and his is completely integrated into the main story, soooooo
freeway also appart from having a cool story
who wouldn’t want to welcome a spooky skeleton
also free lockpicks!
@@kinamiya1 not to mention leaving all of your friends to die while you play dead...
@@johjoh9270 I'm playing with a Wayfarer Fane, and let me tell you, playing dead has saved my ass a few times. Let the enemies focus on my more tanky party members
Not the coolest, tho.
I had no idea that Larian Studios did so much to work with the community and fanbase. This is amazing- a gaming company that genuinely listens to and appreciates the people that pay for and play their game. I've never played a Larian game before Divinity 2, but now I have to! I'm so glad this game did so well commercially and is so universally exclaimed. Hopefully, this will inspire other studios to interact with the fanbase in similar ways. Thanks for this amazing video!! I definitely learned a lot.
I love this game so much and haven't even made it off fort joy yet. I have bad adhd so it'll take true commitment to finish a playthrough but I know I won't regret it
2 years later, Did you manage to finish the campaign?
This game gave me 2 hrs of sleep everyday
I have 4 other brand new games sitting waiting for me on gog and steam... but I just don’t want to stop playing this one! It’s officially beat Da:O as my favourite RPG.
I’m over 250 hours in and almost finished my second play through, and planning my third. This is one of the very few games I can think of that have kept me enthralled enough that I can enjoy playing more than a couple of completions, I’m usually bored by the end of my second run.
This game really deserves its ratings, and I hope the developers make more like this in future. A few other games companies could learn a lot from these guys.
Couch Co-Op at its Finest.
And I played the whole game with Zero Updates or Patches.
It Truly was an Amazing Game.
I still find it hilarious that a game with a budget rivaling that of some countries GDP can’t even come close to a game that literally got its budget from donations.
well they had the budget from sales to make the game, the donations were just to make the game even better and to get free advertisement at the same time. This of-course was way bigger then they expected
Nah. This game didn't get made on anything CLOSE to $2M. They had a lot more from sales of Divinity: Original Sin.
@@davecarsley8773 yeah it mad more than 85million
108: "And you thought Rivellon was flat(*spoiler*it was not)!"
"Did you expect a needle?"
If only more studios cared about their games and player base as much as Larian does. Imagine the games we would get.
I haven't even made it past act 2 yet and I already hope they add more to the game. I'd be happy if it went on forever. Enjoying it so much
@JamesWhisky sounds to me like you need to learn how to play, or play on an easier difficulty. Theres no way you have 500 hours and cant kill anything in act 2...
I just picked up this game a week and a half ago and I must say that as many of you have already stated, DOS:2 is an amazing game. Freedom of choice in quest completion, unlimited ability to customize character builds, engaging and fully interactive environments and other elements that make up some true essentials for a rich old school rpg experience. Larian's approach to their games is something that always has me excited for a new title and my anticipation for Baulders Gate 3 is through the roof! Keep up the great work, and please, stay true to your roots and vision of what creating a great rpg game is all about. The money will follow, I promise you, but please dont dumb down or simplify your approach or design because in my opinion, that kills the greatness. Cheers!
I'm on my 3rd yes 3rd damn run of this 100 hr game and it's still fun. Right now I'm in the middle of act 4 on my first tactical run and loving it. The first 5 levels were crushing but got surprisingly easier after that apart from the occasional difficulty spike. I've optimized my build so along with their standard roles of Tank, Rouge, two mages, all 4 of them also have 10 summoning which just adds a ridiculous amount of flexibility.
Question. About how much of the game is left percentage wise after act 1? My wife and I just left the island with fort joy and we took our sweet time. Was that 20% of the game or more or less? Id like to know how much game is left to look forward to.
4 Acts, 2 is even bigger than act 1, act 3 is the smallest then act 4 is around the same size as act 3 but has a lot more content. Another way to judge it is by levels since there's only so much you can do, I haven't tried killing *everyone* yet but by doing the majority of quests you'll be level 20-21 by the end and i'm actually unsure if you can make it to 22.
"Being undead is the most difficult race to play."

I honestly find them easier to play. I always find more poisons more than anything else
Lone Wolf is easy mode, that doesn't count.
For me Divinity Original Sin 2 is a masterpiece on a lvl with the Witcher 3 and one of the greatest games of this century!

Theres also a mod to reset them manually.
This game was so fun. I am torn between another play through or starting the 28373829 other games I want to start 😂
Firwik Howlo ugh I know the feeling! I’ve got 4 other games I’ve brought at the same time as divinity and I just can’t get the motivation to play them! I was kinda looking forward to playing them but made the “mistake” of playing DOS2 first lol.
Tried Elex for about 1/2 an hour then ended up choosing my toon for a second play through of divinity instead!
Nothing else at the moment stacks up.
Asheraa I mean there's 3 whole characters we didn't even get to learn about, how can you pass that up?
Firwik Howlo IKR!! I’ve been playing this run as Ifan (romance is Sebille, you can see my dilemma no? lol), and I just broke my own heart twice over on the nameless isle. I need to play again after this to cheer myself up!
I’ll play as Lohse this time... she’s sure to give me a light hearted and cheerful experience right! Right??? 😭
haha That sounds fun. Is it much different being a pre-made rather than creating someone?
I've only done one run as a Dwarf with The Red Prince, Sebille (romanced her lol) and Fane. So I pretty much have to do a run with the other three. No Choice.
Firwik Howlo the best thing I find with the premade characters is that you get to see the context and dialogue that you missed when you watch your companions drag an NPC aside to talk to them. A lot of the quests and dialogue choices are much more personal too (eg Ifan has his own special “Ifan” dialogue options) so the choices you make feel more meaningful, particularly if it’s a character you felt a connection to as a companion. I’m really looking forward to playing as Thane and Lohse 😁
Never heard of them before but let me say this...Divinity 2 is game Game of the Year as far as I'm concerned. What a great game! Plenty of replay value making it worth every cent I paid for the game. I'm now a Larian Studios convert.
I like how they've always improved on each release. They're really underrated
If your a fan of strategy rpg games then heres what I think about this game.
*Play it*, it is *extremely* underrated.
Underrated? Everyone loves it. What are you talking about?
i would comment but it has already been said
everyone loves it but it's still under rated because everyone should really really love it
How is it over rated? Have you even seen the reviews?
ToxicAndSalty wayyyy overrated game
I honestly pirated Divinity 2. But, after playing it, I bought a copy after the first arch. I bought my best friend a copy too. This game is just good. I wish I had more friends that game so that I can buy them copies too lol.
Neat!
What's the first arch? Is that a pirating term?
TheAnesthetics Me too. I pirated it because i had never been a fan of tuen based games and only wanted to see if I would like it. Got through the tutorial and realized I was in love. Deleted the pirated copy and bought the game for me and a friend.
Is divinity original sin 1 also just as good?
@@garysimmons3166 DOS 1 is amazing, but imo 2 is better in every aspect.
I love this game so much. I just can't get enough, I'm 600 hours in across 4 or 5 playthroughs with different groups of people and it just always managed to keep a smile on my face. I hope Baldur's Gate 3 does the same for me as Dos2 did :)
I feel like a thief having paid so little for so much enjoyment
Its so nice to see a company that actually cares
Why can't more game studios be this devoted to the fanbase and make quality games these days.
Best 30 bucks Ive spent in a very long time, my only regret is to not have been a backer for this project

That is super wholesome
I finally made it to act 4 in classic difficulty. Without doing research about strategy, skills and party composition online, I could never have gotten this far. Act 1 is probably the most challenging part because you have very few skills to work with. Divinity one was similar in that respect.
Just bought it and its pure love...
A bunch of misinformation about the game's mechanics themselves, but the stuff about Larian and the development was pretty much spot on and perfect!
What kind of misinformation?
The attention to detail and focus on involvement of fans & experts in every facet made this a near perfect game.
I'd love them to ad the orc and goblin since they have there own gods it'd make sense.
" Players hated the new physical and magic armor system, as it made their old strategies obsolete "
This explains a big problem within the gaming community. Players will eat anything up as long as they're not having to put in any modicum of thought.
They hated it bc they were made to T H I N K.
Exactly!!
Yes, thank you, also makes fighter and rogue classes way more useful as they can chip away at enemies with less or no physical armor :D
Its my personal game of the year 2017
just learning more facts about my favorite game and then you say its mostly played by couples and now i feel alone again.. sweet
These guys are gonna smash Baulders Gate 3 outta the park.
After seeing the Baldur's gate 3 demo, this comment has aged very well.
Actually, Chris Avellone is best known for his writing in Planescape Torment. That is what put him on the map. Since that wasn't mentioned, I felt I should add the correction here.
I absolutely loved Divinity 2. I never played the first one, but after completing the second, I really want to.
It's some hardcore storytelling, various off-hand questing, and ingenious combat mechanics: forcing players to consider such obstacles as elevation, environment, and status effects. And unlike a lot of RPGs, you're not boxed into a single play style, at least after you reach the Mirror to adjust skills at-whim.
-
The only thing I can honestly complain about is that, once you beat the game on a character... that's it.
There's no continuation of a "free play" mode, no chance to go back to past areas and patch up quest lines, nada.
You simply get some pre-credits note of what happened to the places/people you visited, which is closure to an extent, but bittersweet.
It truly is a one-way, mostly linear ticket - with quirks and unique options-per-character thrown in. But it's still an amazingly fun game.
-
That's kind of brilliant, though, as it encourages you to try new characters and perhaps new play styles to really flesh out the things you missed (spells, dialogues, quest chains, etc.). And let's face it, if you didn't have a character with Teleportation, you missed a TON of opportunities (eg: at least the Gloves of Teleportation just outside Fort Joy).
Did I missed when you can customize all characters with your own portraits? That is my main reason. Thank you Larian.
It's amazing to see hard work and passion paying off. I love this game!
This is the best game i have ever played. It is by far the best game of it's genre I have ever whitnessed.
Edit: I just hope they will get us to play orks in divinity 3
Nice job... however you missed a good secret. *Kill the crab on fort joy and see what happens later with Pet Pal.*
Wicky you‘ll get a shield by another crab :3

And how is Baldurs gate 3?
Wish i would have gave in sooner and checked this out back when it DoS2 launched.. I just got the 1&2 in a bundle, cant wait to dive in!
Love this game so much. It’s just truly fun to play. I can’t believe how fast a four hour Xbox session flies by
Alan __ me too i merely get enought of this game and time fly so fast while play i have been sleep late for 2 weak after start playing this game
Best game I've ever played. Packed with fresh content from beginning to start. Your first play through is magic, you have 1,000,000 directions to take and a huge world which you'll love exploring.
you can get a bedroll from the start of the game and a lizard can dig
What about Thane? you forgot to talk about him when going over all the other origin characters
his name is fane, but yeah i noticed that too.
y1lvax I but if you review his storyline he seems to be the main character
Oww Thane... That wound will never heal.
I'll always miss you Thane. You died a hero.
I'm sworn to be your sword and shield, my Thane. Eh wrong game.
Yea, Fane's story is a lot of spoilers, but then, isn't anyone's? Lohse with her demon thing, Ifan being betrayed by Lucian the Divine himself, Sebille fighting for her freedom, ... ok, maybe they don't have that much impact on the main story, as Fane, but at least Ifan is tied tightly to the Divine's betrayal, which later plays an important role anyway.
Alec Newman voices Aya in Assassin's Creed Origins apparently. You guys should really triple check your content before posting because double checking is not enough :/

Who was the one who created the music. Put this in your youtuble search tab ^^ "The symphony of sin: Divinity 2"
As a person who grew up with playing ps1 and have been struggling to find a good game for 3-4 years, this game gave me so much old school vibes that it made me cry out of joy after finding the perfect game for me years later
Divinity 2 is such an awesome game! You can really tell that the game developers put their heart and soul in creating it!
Months after the release of this game and it still remains relevant. I don't know how Persona 5 got 2017's game of the year and this didn't..
believe or not, but some people actually complained that this game is too complex for their simple mind. example: "Why am I able to buff enemies?" umm because you have the freedom to, or not too
FakeUser NameTwo “Um, just in case you want to be that one asshole on the team who makes a fight more difficult for everyone for no reason.”
Abo Abomi it's also because healing spells can damage undead enemies. And yea , I played with my bro, and he buffed the enemies so many times from misclicks
First time i played the first one, i didn't know you could cast rain to save a boat on fire or use the terrain to your advantage. This game really requires a high iq to be played else it's impossible to finish. I did btw, *proud laugh
The amount of detail in this game puts games like elden ring and even games like skyrim to shame ive been playing since release and still learning things. Yea Skyrim has all the stuffing but you cant attach nails to your boots to make climbing boots
Man, playing this utter masterpiece of a role playing game is one thing, but watching this video and realizing just how insanely much work and love went into it, like the ambiance, just totally blows my mind. One admittedly kind of frustrating but very interesting mechanic that I love is how healing spells or items damage the undead and poisoning spells or items heal them. I just love that idea. It's so simple as ideas go, but simplicity is a cornerstone of brilliance and it makes for some very new experiences. I have Fane in my party right now and I love having the added need to consider if I have enough poison with me as well as health potions, etc.
I've played a LOT of RPG's but nothing I've ever played stacks up against Divinity 2. Not even close. I played Pillars of Eternity first and really liked it, but in retrospect Divinity 2 absolutely dwarfs PoE (no pun intended lol.) DoS2 is like a singular skyscraper in the middle of a residential neighborhood in comparison to everything else I've played. The Witcher 3, Disco Elysium, Atom RPG, Dragon Age, Fallout:NV, etc. They're all great games in their own right, but, at least in my opinion, Divinity 2 is in a league of its own. You can just tell what a wildly special game it is and the amount of love and passion poured into its development really shows at every turn, in every corner, every interaction and dialogue box, every competing quest line, everything about this game is incredible to me.
This game ties with The Witcher 3 in experience. Although vastly different, you will remember these games for a long time.
I forgot Witcher 3 lol like almost immediately. Ridiculously boring and overhyped.
@@aarondev3218 . Agree
Amazing and informative video. Thank you!!
About Slavov, I think his best work (aside from Divinity Original Sin 2) was Knights of Honor all the way back at the start of 2000s.
Easiest way to break the game from the beginning is to
1) pickpoket. Can do this only once per person, but you can clean them up for good.
2) give money to vendors. Give ~300 gold to a vendor, get max attitude that way and for every 300g item you sell you get nearly something like 50g extra, pays back to bribe I mean befriend a rich one.
Holly Molly! What an amazing and well edited video! Congrats this is as fun to watch as the game ;)
I'm pretty sure it's been said that divinity original sin 2 falls between beyond divinity and divinity 2 which makes sense since damian has attempted to conquer Rivellon and go missing but hasn't made his return in divinity 2 yet.
I'm a little late to Larian Studios but I really enjoyed DoS2 and watching this just gives me so much more praise for this dev team and the hard work that goes into their games, amazing content and an awesome studio here!
Magnificent game, absolutely love it, as far as RPG's are concerned an minimum of 100 hours is essential.
DOS2 was one of my favorite games of all time. I wish it could go on forever. I also wish it had deeper multi-level dungeons. Like I'm talking 10 dungeon levels deep. I wasn't a fan of DOS1
Why dident you like dos1? =)
@@tomasjonsson7141 It was too tricky to try and figure out where to go. Especially in the beginning with the whole murder investigation part. I was just running around in circles for days clicking on the same things over and over again. It requires a level of attention that I don't have for games lol
you can get poison bottles on the first ship by combining ooze barrel and potion bottles.
I literally have six different parties saved in Arx, and working on my seventh. I have issues.
There are... a number of inaccuracies in this list, but still informative all in all. Well done
Another Dark Souls reference in the city of ARK sewers
Yeah, I saw that one.
I activated the fire that a sword called "Uncoiled Sword" was stuck in and it gave me the Rested buff.
quite possibly (and objectively) the best game ever made?
I love this game so much. Here's to hoping we get an expansion soon!
Thats what mods are for my friend
@@randomguy6679 True. Am using about 130 mods atm, but I don't think the tools exist to make expansions in the vain of something like Skyrim's Falskaar and/or Wyrmstooth mods (aka Huge new lands, quests, characters, etc).
just finished divinity origninal sin, Absolutely loved it, sunk aboun 90 hours into the game completed every quests and all, Can't wait to play Dos2
Me and my husband play and replay. Undead build works if you have an archer who specializes in geomancy and summoning (I chose lizard race). He was warfare and necromancer. I could heal him by shooting high power poison dart at him, having my summons poison him, and a variety of poisoned goods, and he could cover a field in death fog and walk through while i shot from highground.
The undead build also works well without a poison archer but it was a fun synergizing team :)
9:49 Damn, That´s some incredible vocal range. Alec was the voice of Aya in AC:Origins. That´s some raw talent right there.
I really hope they are working on DOS3 haha I would buy that day one
best game/RPG in the past 10 yrs so far
7:13 if only bioware did that on dragon age 2
