We quickly found opportunities for get-rich-quick schemes, too. It’s rarely just a group of angry chaps in Divinity, is it? Anyway, it was all fun and games as we shot through the first game’s opening like the Legolas Twins, easily downing level 1 Cursed Lieutenants on the beaches outside Cyseal and congratulating each other for well-timed and well-judged attacks.
Honestly, we didn’t realise quite how challenging the combat was going to be, and how important a well-balanced party is when you’re beset by sentient gargoyles and poisonous gases. Our first mistake was to both choose archer builds at the beginning of Original Sin. It’s just that we choose never to speak about it. And we’ll always treasure those 100-odd hours, too.
