![]() The first thing you'll do when you start up a new game is choose who you'll play as these character options come down to Sebille a female Elf, The Red Prince a male Lizard, Ifan ben-Mezd a male human, Lohse a female human, Beast a Male Dwarf, Fane a Human Male Undead (the use of human and undead is to say he is an undead that has the body of a human, undead can transform into the other races as well) and finally a custom blank slate character.Įach of them has their own unique backgrounds, stories, history and interactions with the world and it's inhabitants. Abilities that inflict damage over multiple turns or buffs that buff over several turns.Ĭharacter Creation Selecting a Character Hotbar = The bar at the bottom of your screen that has all the skills and items on it.Caster = The character using an ability, also can refer to mage characters.Tank = Character whose main focus is to absorb damage.Anything using this term is relating to damage taken or dealt. If you are new to RPGs or games in general really, here are some terms you may see used and what they mean if you don't know. 4 Combat and using the environment to your advantage.With these tips and pointers in mind, you should be well equipped to deal with most of what Cyseal can throw at you and get a decent start in Divinity: Original Sin. I definitely didn’t waste about an hour trying to find him. ![]() This Bit Took Me Far Too Long: Finally, when you’re looking for legionnaires after the quest “Arhu’s Failed Experiment,” they’re (well, he) is in the prison. Make use of handy barrels and try to distract or bottleneck the enemy by using summoned help (the Giant Spider summon in the Geomancer/Earth skill-set is a good one.) Remember, you can cast spells out of combat, so it’s possible to get some “free” hits in before you initiate. What are the biggest threats to your group, and how can they be nullified? Original Sin gives you plenty of options for stunning, freezing or knocking down foes. Set Everything on Fire: Combat in this game is about controlling the environment and exploiting enemy weakness. Try to fight guys at your level if you can, especially while you get used to combat’s finer (or dirtier) tricks. Two levels and you may as well flee, unless you have iron-clad tactics. If you find yourself going up against a group just one level higher, you’re in trouble. Level differences mean a lot in Original Sin. Tactical Retreat: It’s fine to run away from a fight and come back later. Out in the West you’ll find level 3 undead enemies that you should be able to cope with. Leaving by the other routes is like doing the Graveyard first. This game is kind of like Dark Souls in that it is just about possible to deviate from the “intended” path, but the North-West-ish gate in Cyseal is the Undead Burg equivalent. If you find yourself on an orc-infested beach, you went the wrong way. Make sure it’s the gate in town and not the harbour one. Head out of the West (or North-West-ish) gate. Sallying Forth: When you’re level 3 (or near enough) and have a party of four, you’re ready to leave town. This helps when looking for smaller objects like keys. Hold ALT to highlight stuff of interest in the nearby area. NPCs can be easily distracted by talking to them with one of your party members (making them face away from whatever you want to nab,) giving you the perfect window of opportunity. You’ll make a decent amount of cash from selling (or bartering) these to various vendors. If you’re low on money steal plates, steal goblets and steal artwork. Put aside any moral disagreements you may have and claim that five-fingered discount everywhere. The Secret Ingredient is Crime: Speaking of stealing, do this all the time. You can leave by moving one of the paintings to reveal a door switch. ![]() This place is full of artwork to steal and sell, plus a bit of other loot. Grave Tidings: If you need some level two enemies to beat up for some added experience, there’s a hidden tunnel in the graveyard (dig up the biggest mound of dirt with the nearby shovel.) Go south in this tunnel where the road forks (north will lead you to a bucket and a well outside of town,) and you’ll emerge out inside the abandoned Cyseal general store.
