Do you think Divinity Original Sin is better than its sequel?
Havent played 2 yet im playing 1 with 48 hours and im halfway finishing it
No.
Yes.
Each have their own charm. Original Sin is a bit more traditional RPG in certain ways, less so in others, and definitely has less of a serious tone overall. They both have their merits. I do love the touch-ups and additional mechanics in DOS2. And the ability to play as undead and other races than human. And the addition of Source powers. But Original Sin had this cartoony fun feel to it that was just great, and it's what really got Larian started as a big name.
Long story short... both are good in their own ways, DOS2 slightly beating it out in my opinion, but just by a hair and I could understand if you liked DOS better and would probably not argue.
Yes, DOS:2 is too limiting with the armor system on how you can build your team and how to play. Also the round robin system instead of initiative giving you the first move is also one less choice you can make. Then the crazy mobility, everyone is jumping around the battlefield which means you really cant tank for your party, thats another limiting factor on how to play and build your party :x.
DOS1 also seems to have many more and better fights than DOS2, of course this is probably all just personal preference but to me DOS1 is way superior to the sequel.
Super informative, incredibly helpful, tons of useful links. Great vid, exactly the guide I was looking for.
Even though English isn't your 1st language, you have a good enough grasp on it to be hilarious. You're funny without being extra (because extra is annoying.) So, good on you. Also, helpful vid. Thnx.
Wait, what? how did you guys pick up on that?
@@juanlewisii4754 he says in the video plus he has a sleight accent
Telekinesis is actually extremely useful. I used it a lot on both games, especially DOS2. It's one of the only spells I use both in and out of combat regularly and the single most commonly used spell. I'll use it to teleport enemies to get fist attack with lots of damage and often killing them. Love using it on the Exploskeleton before they see me. If there's a large group of them, just pick one up with telekinesis and drop it in the middle of group. They all go boom immediately.
I played DOS2, and I'm now trying DOS1EE for the first time. In DOS2 I used Telekinesis as a core part of my fight mechanics, and problem solving. I had multiple party members with high ability. I could use it to send explosives into the middle of the enemy, or move squishy toons out of danger, move a ranger to high ground, to get past blocked areas, move through crazy terrain, etc. I forget all the details from many years ago, but know I loved Telekinesis. It was the only reason I used mana potions outside of healer emergencies. Telekinesis was very powerful in DOS2, and I'm ignoring advice to skip it in DOS1, and I'm trying it on my first play through :)
This video was perfect for me to see before starting the game and you have a great sense of comedic timing! And your English is great!
Ace video. Really helpful and entertaining at the same time. Keep up the awesome!

Keep up the good work!
I found your video, halfway through, downloaded this game again. Barely played it, and it was gifted to me. Thank you for the great guide.
Incredible video. I've watched a lot of these (for this game and others) and this is by far the best content I've seen.
4 years later and this guide is still helping people thanks very much
Dude....
Wife and I are 2 hours into this game, and just THANK YOU. Seriously. Thank you for this lol.
Thanks for the sense of humor while staying On Topic! Easy to watch and learn from at the same time, the perfect choice in my time of need. Yeah... I went back to re-play section.

Great video to watch. Funny and informative!.
Amazing and funny video man, helped me A LOT
Great video, I think it's going to make getting into the game a lot easier, thank you
glad to help
Just gonna say that you are legend dude
This video is actually really amazing... I don't say that (or thing that) often. The pacing is incredible. The music and commentary are perfect. I don't even know if I'm buying the game but I'm definitely watching the whole video. And I paused it to write this, because I wanted to comment but I don't want to miss a thing.
Thank you so much, not everyone would agree with that, but it warms my heart that someone out there thinks so. ^^
I was sub number 2.700+ enjoyed the video. Thanks for the info 😍
I am having my first run of the game. This was helpful! Cheers.
Very well done!! Thanks
I just picked up Divinity and was looking for tips. Beyond this being helpful, I really like your style and humour. Cheers!
This video was amazing!
Dude this is top notch review. How tf you have only 800 subs? Full descriptive review, editing skills, funny commentary. Shit! You got it all in there.
My dude!!! Excellent work.
Dude, never change.
Your shit is pretty fucking good.
Just started playing this and found this video so helpful how your don't have more subs is beyond me
This is one of those games you enjoy playing over and over with new classes and strategies, same thing with Pillars of Eternity and Wasteland 2.
Amazing video! Hopefully you'll get way more subs.
dude the name change got me man i didnt know this was dp phantom heart until i watched your vampire the masqurade vids
i had to reload the last part of the video because of the thankyou message, i was like wtf only 100 subs this guy is fantastic, thankfully you have grown a lot more than that since the video and i really appreciated this one. keep up the great work.
So Im about to get into this game and this is an amazing and very complete guide, super funny and entertaining while keeping the info easy to understand. Insta-subbed
I found it really hard to follow what you were saying, but I appreciate the effort you put in to making it!
Hey man. I don’t usually comment but I just wanna tell you this video is awesome. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the video, just bought this game for the ps4
glad i could help. ^^
Hey man, great video! I love the tone, it's very lighthearted but super informative as well. This video style reminds me of another TH-camr; SuperButterBuns. Which is a compliment! You earned a new subscriber and I hope to see your channel grow, because you deserve it! :)
yeah nice video man, thanks for this info.
thank you so much ^^
10er of a guide broski, keep at it
I have played divinity 20 times at this point and have done pretty much everything in this guide still love watching it though....even if its still difficult to completely understand anything you say at about the middle of the video 😂 by far one of the most useful guides on TH-cam to this day
Bro you're hilarious! Subbed
Right stick allows items to be highlighted, right on the d pad let's you attack Innocents and items.
this video was amazing, how do you only have 200 subs?
thank you! . I just started youtube last january. im not expecting to have many subscribers as im still learning., although i do hope that i reach 500 subs before the end of the year ^^
Yeah I agree, this is really good. Just my 2 cents as a viewer:
1.) for the most part the humor and cuts and everything are well done, but there are some parts that are a little bit too "youtubey." Just keep it tasteful.
2.) You speak English very well, however sometimes your accent when combined with rapid speech makes things difficult to understand.
3.) Videos like this are sought out by people with burning churning questions, not bored kids just wanting to be amused. Maybe keep the informative videos a bit more informative and a bit less zany.
Thank you for making this video, it was really helpful.
@@bigtenfourrubberducky thanks man!, great feedback. i'll keep all of this in mind when I create another beginners guide. thank you so much. . ^^ really. this actually made my day xD. expect a new video by the end of the month (i hope)
@@EllieMenopy you did it. Good job ser!
Because this video looks like it was done by a child overdosing on caffeine. If he reduced some of the childish mannerisms and actually made a pause between sentences maybe people would like it more.
Hey this is an awesome video!
Subbed. Underrated channel.
Yeah, I love the editing style 😭
Really great vid
You’ve convinced me to get this when it goes on sale
great!. good to know that someone else can experience this near masterpiece of a game. ^^ consider subscribing to the chanell for more ^^
Malan Durant one two and divine divinity are on sale on steam now
Both are on sale on the Microsoft store right now
How do you not have like 500k subs? This is good.
thanks for the tips....you may want to reconsider your advice on wands ...high dual wielding and wands does mass damage plus you can switch out your wands to the element that targets an enemy weakness...my dual wielding wand witch was by far the most effective member of my team....kudos to dogmath for his help
really well put together my man! funny, informative, you have a great personality! keep it up and you will blow up. sub +1
thank you so much. hope i really do blow up
I just finished playing the second game, and what I learned from that is that without external information sources to do the quests, and build your character, you can't really progress.
and thus I made this video ^^. it can't really help during quests, but it will help you on building your character (atleast I hope so) when it comes to quests. well, I don't really know what to say aside from reading the quests thoroughly
lol what complete nonsense. you have to pay attention and think outside the box just like a D&D sesh. so much quest progress and so many hidden things can be uncovered just by moving rugs and boxes around.
@@2bussy So I have actually finished this game too, and here is the thing:
The puzzles are so bad in this game, I genuinely had more fun when I managed to soft lock my modded Skyrim save file, where I couldn't move at all. Figuring out how to fix that was more fun than any puzzle in both DoS games combined.
Cra-aft-sman-ship broooo hahaha good content 😉
You my friend, have just made another subscriber. Awesome vedio...vedio...video.
Thank you. thought about removing the bloopers, but i felt like it funnier with them xD
Boss take my like and my subscribe!!!
this video is awesome!
Thank you!
Your advice #1 is confusing at best. There is no viable "pure mage" in this game. You want both of your main chars to have 1 skill point in all but one combat school. Obviously, give one of them a bow and don't take points into warfare and give the other one a melee weapon and don't take any ranger points. Every school has decent utility skills at early levels, stuff like heals, stuns, mobility spells, summons, invisibility, teleport etc. DO NOT, under any circumstance, create specialised party members when it comes to weapons vs magic, every char should have at least lvl 4 in Aero and Hydro, lvl 3 in other magic schools and either lvl 4 in man-at-arms and 3 in scoundrel or lvl 5 in ranger depending on the weapon type (bow or dual wield) by the end of the game.
Here's some good advice you overlooked:
a) Do not upgrade mage schools until well into he mid game because grenades and special arrows will be your main source of damage. Dip arrowheads into a poison barrel to poison arrowheads and dip empty bottles into an oil barrel to get molotov cocktails. You can find both of these barrels in the the starting town, I suggest you put them near a portal or into your pocket plane for easier use. The other materials are not infinite, but you will find more than enough for 100+ arrows and grenades before you have to engage any enemies. When you get some money, start buying rarer crafting ingredients, most importantly water essences for frost grenades. Take the two grenade perks, or at least the accuracy one, on both of your main chars. You can respec later.
b) The only combat spells you will want to use early are summon spider, heal and midnight oil. Oil is great with fire grenades/arrows because it not only spreads the fire surfaces you created, but it generates smoke that completely screws with the ai and makes the enemies run around like idiots while you just throw more grenades at them.
c) Doing quests in order will be a pain because the early fights can be nasty. To make the game much easier, go northeast as soon as you pick up the pyramid and use the invisibility spell to get past the enemies until you get to the chapter 2 map. You can do a bunch of fetch quests there that will give you a couple of levels because they are made for lvl 7+ chars, not lvl 2. If you really want to make your life easier, you can inviz all the way into the the Immaculate camp with the tenebrium handling book and finish that quest for a ton of xp. Without going too much into details, you can pick up a bunch of stones for free on this map (burn the totem in the goblin camp using midnight oil to avoid a fight), and you can also get to the chapter 3 map and do a bunch of fetch quests there, as well as steal a bunch of paintings and high level weapons for gold.
d) If you really want to optimise your party, plan your path so you reach lvl 7 at the time you unlock the hall of heroes. At lvl 7, you can recruit a witch (Elessa) that has 5 points in witchcraft and 3 in geo amongst other things. That's the best companion in the game because she has around 7 more skill points than a char of her level should be. It wasn't fixed in EE so I assume it's intended? Anyway, her stats are skills are distributed well enough that she still ends up being as good as or better than a player char with that massive bonus.
e) Jahan is the only decent voiced companion, having wasted only 3 attribute points and 1 perk. Do not make him your crafter, use him in your main group. The others are kinda terrible, with Bairdotr maybe being better than Madora, due to bows having less skill/stat requirements than melee weapons (you will probably have to use 2-handers with Madora instead of weapon/dagger dual, which is not optimal at all). The rogue is terrible, use him for crafting and such. If you don't mind having henchmen, there are reasonable options in the Hall of heroes depending on when you unlock it, but the sooner you do it, the more control you can have without your henchman being too much behind in levels. As a rule of thumb, any henchman who did not put attribute points into perception and constitution can be salvaged, unless he wasted a ton of skill points into stuff like lockpick and sneak. Don't worry if he is lower level than your party, it's much more important to have decent attributes on him.
f) Make crafting/barter/lockpick/perception monkeys out of the companions you won't use. Just keep them in the pocket plane until you get a levelup, then use them to make a shopping/crafting run, or use them to solve some quests (you need 12?? perception to not want to kill yourself in the hot/cold quest).
g) For weapons, dual wield and bows are leagues better than anything else. The most powerful character is one that uses a heavy one-hander (axe is best) and a dagger, because you can combine frenzy and daggers out yo one-shot any boss, but you will need both str and dex. Bows and dual daggers are easier on the attributes and skill points, so they are a better choice for companions because they have wasted points. Every char needs some int in order to use hail attack and chain lightning at lvl 15. Henchmen and companions should probably spec into bows, because those don't require a lot of attribute and skill points, while your main chars should dual.
h) Stats that improve your skills (str, dex, int) are better than others. Con and per are completely useless, speed is great but you can stack a ton of it via items (dual daggers is +6 after lvl 13). You don't need to go overboard on AP-s because there are only so many skills you can use in a turn before everything is stunned or dead. Adrenaline is also a thing, use it.
i) Crafted weapons are better than anything you can buy or find. Craft after every levelup, and craft a bunch of stuff because the bonuses may differ. Put the crappy axes/swords back in the furnace to get ingots back. Enchant weapons with tenebrium early on because it's the cheapest, in chapter 3 start using essences (wind is best, fire is the worst) because there are enemies that get healed by tenebrium damage. Crafting armor is the best way to make money. You can also craft belts and other accessories, and some of those can be very useful until you find good stuff in the shops.
j) Finally, lets talk mid-late game skills. Mobility skills are king, as mentioned in the video. Even bow chars want those skills, so give them a set of daggers on the switch. Magic does less damage than weapons until lvl 15 and are worse at crowd control than grenades. However, magic schools give you a huge repertoire of support abilities, so every character should have access to adept level spells of every school. Power stance deserves a special mention because it's free damage. The downside is easily bypassed by using weapon-based abilities like crippling blow, eye gouge and special arrows that always hit. Have it constantly on. Note that special arrows can't crit, which is the main reasons why bows are better than xbows. Another important skill to mention is Drain willpower. This spell trivialises mid game boss fights because it allows you to reliably stun the boss and it doesn't allow a saving throw itself. Stun is the best cc status affected by willpower, making lightning attacks better than anything else, so just spam lightning arrows and shocking touch on bosses. Once you get master level abilities, things get crazy. Fights against multiple opponents can be solved in one turn with storm and/or chain lightning, hail of arrows and hail attack. Against single opponents that have a lot of health, use arrow spray (stand right next to them for best effect), hail attack, flurry and daggers drawn (which is actually an adept level skill for some reason). While most late game bosses are immune to stun, most can be frozen. In order to freeze them, first cast drain willpower, followed by soul sap (because it allows a willpower save). Finally, cast hail attack or use a couple of freezing arrows and finish him off with your melee attacks. Having the witch henchman works perfectly for this because she starts with 5 in witchcraft and due to points wasted in speed and perception, she moves before the rest of your party.
Thank you so much omgopet for making an in-depth list of advices for new players. this will help a lot of beginners for this game, I really am super thankful you took the time to write this.
hope you're having fun with the 2nd Game of the series, assuming you're playing it at the moment, I'm currently recording it right now, and I gotta say, I find it waaay more complicated than the first one, or maybe thats just me. have a great day omgopet. and I hope I see you again soon ^^
Thanks so much for the tips.
Thanks !
This is amazing tips and definitly helpfull... but i wont do it
The thing i value most in rpgs are immersion and i like to immerse my self with pure magicians and a 2 handed tank charging into the fight.
Everyone for their own, but you are right about that is the most optimal way to play.
@@nekorisakirisame1323 Well, Madora starts with a bunch of points into 2-handed and opportunist iirc, so she would be your best choice for a "tank". You can use her if you want to play without mercenaries to get as many companion missons as possible. Honstly, the only difference between a 2-hander "tank" and a dw one is that with dw you can get daggers out (works with axe+dagger and hits with both weapons properly), which is an extra melee nuke, and you don't get the +3 spd stat bonus on the dagger (unfortunately, because crafted weapons give massive stat bonuses, 2 weapons is just better than a 2-hander). Make sure you give her all the mobility spells/skills you can to make use of Opportunist and so she can keep up. Don't try to "tank up" with her by wasting points into saving throws and constitution, she still won't be able to survive in the late game. Crowd control is the best form of tanking. I would suggest giving 4 Witchcraft to Jahan and giving him 2x daggers (and all of the initiative gear you find) so he moves first and can reduce saving throws to crowd control the nastiest enemy before you jump in. Don't get daggers out for role play purposes, but +6 speed is just too good to set up for the rest of your team, and staves/wands really don't do anything.
Hahaha, LOVE IT! GOOD VIDEO!
i have played both dos 2 and bg3 and love it both, decided to give this gem a try lol
Just finished the game on Classic and wanted to find help before I jump into tactician, you have a lot more knowledge on the game than I do XD Thank you!
amazing!!
Thank you ^^
I rarely comment, but I find you especially charming and charismatic. I encourage you to push your voice, you have far more swagger than you need! :) I only play this one game out of your vid list, so I'll see you later!
Thank you so much!!
@Slimedrop hi, how AI personality works? What I should choose during creating char?
A review in the trend of the humour of the game. Subbed!
Thank you
great editing
This is one of the most fun and informative videos i ever watched! Great video!
Kinda late to the party, but gotta say that's a really video. Keep it up!
Magaling kabayan! Will think if a DnD style RPG is for me. Great vid and presentation pare!
Great video, love it! would be nice if you do the same video for its sequel.
Good video. Subbed
Thank you ^^
very helpful!! thanks. Subbed!
can you do one for divinity original sin 2?
Planning to, just waiting for it to download. . . its a fairly long download and a fairly game. it might take a while . . ^^
And did you finally created this kind of video fo divinity 2?
Thank you for this guide! Not only was it really helpful but also funny as hell!
Dope video
thank you so much, i worked really hard on it, too bad i gradually lost my voice while recording. xD
Ciz dPhantomheart Yeah man you're funny, keep banging out vids and I'm sure the wheel's will start turning
Currently playing this one and I have to say it could well be the best rpg I have ever played. Most other so-called rpgs are actually action games with stats
nice video man! thanks alot.
you are very funny, I'm enjoy this very much lol
Salamat sa guide mah man
Omg I cracked the fuck up when you caught the poison on fire....
I thought there was a button i can place the barrel onto, apparently it was a trap xD
@@EllieMenopy haha 😂
Hey man, can you do a guide for the second game as well?
you deserve more subs
Thankyou
Yeah dude, divine divinity was absolutely badass.
The Steam sales have come and the Divinity franchise was on sale. Nalilito ako sa CRPGs, so I always have analysis paralysis. Thanks for the video!
thats the idea, glad I could help ^^
discount on steam until 11 may 2019, the lowest disc for this game as i know
Thank you nice subscriber. I bought the game last month, spent 78 hours on it. And I'm still at act1. It's really challenging to beat specially Becuz I'm playing the game at tactician difficulty.
Just bought it along with way of the samurai 4 ^^
