The best part about these Origin characters is that each of them have their own distinct back-stories and objectives. You can play as a custom made character, or one of the Origin characters who have their own motives and goals. The ending is also impacted by many of these seemingly subtle decisions. The paths and consequences vary and different characters react to them in their own way. In every act, you can ally yourself with one of the many factions or try to fight it out on your own. Just like it’s predecessor, player choice is an important part of Divinity Original Sin II. A marksman will generally have weaker magical defenses, while a mage will have a strong guard against magic but will be weak against physical damage. You can’t have a mage with bulky armor, or a knight (a front-line fighter) with fragile defenses. The same goes for magical abilities, and spells like teleport, burn, freeze poison will only cause the desired effect after the magical defenses have been taken care of.Īll these factors make the class system quite relevant. Similarly, skills like knocked down will only affect characters after their physical armor has been worn out. Magic damage and physical damage have separate defenses that need to be eroded before the characters start loosing their health. The World of Divinity Original Sin II: RivellonĬombat was also perfected in Divinity Original Sin II, making it possibly the best turn-based system. In this post, seeing as it’s coming to current-gen consoles in the coming days, I would like to discuss Divinity Original Sin II and why it’s one of the best RPGs ever. Most RPG fans prefer games with darker themes like Dragon Age and The Witcher 3, while the rest opt for JRPGs having colorful visuals and light-hearted stories. Gamers also tend to have varied tastes which makes it even harder to rate games. Secondly, having childish, cliched settings and lastly, the absence of a localized English version for some. Firstly, being limited to only one or two consoles (for Zelda that would be the Nintendos). The reason for the relatively smaller fan-base of JRPGs can be attributed to multiple reasons.

JRPGs have a niche but vocal audience, many of whom tend to be reviewers and critics. In my opinion, one such game is Larian studios’ Divinity Original Sin II. While it may be one of the finest Eastern adventure games, there are quite a few Western RPGs that can give it a run for it’s money. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is often hailed as one of the best Japanese games (if not the best game) of this generation.
