We actually haven't played Divinity Original Sin in a really long time, but a friend's been playing it and we ended up talking a bit about it.~ It's a really cool western high fantasy game with fun mechanics and character building. =D I don't know if we'll ever go back to it, even though we enjoyed it so much because it's really OCD enabling. @_@ There are just sooooo many barrels, crates, and pockets to look into, and oh so many side quests (that actually lead places) to be curious about. I know there're a LOT of games with this kind of stuff, but in THIS game, you can find really important stuff somewhat often in mundane places, like character skill upgrade items! At least I think so, it's been a few years. '_' But yeah, there's just soo much you can explore and choices you can make.
The game can also be pretty hard on the consequences of your actions too. XD The game doesn't have permadeath, but it was REALLY rare to find a way to res someone, it's not just a "sleep at the inn" kind of thing. >.> Once, we had a party of three, and we had hearsay that there was treasure buried in the front yard of a house in town. So, we got our trusty shovel and started digging. The spot in the yard we were digging exploded and KILLED two of our characters. lol I don't think we had a choice but to reload our file because going through the game with only one character just wasn't an option. ^^ There were a few times too where we pickpocketed or picked up something off the floor or table by accident and was seen by a town NPC. If that happens, pretty much the WHOLE house or town can aggro onto you. XD The villagers are no pushovers either. @_@
Fun times. lol We had to reload the game so many times. We also had multiple save files just because we were really curious what would happen if we made a different dialogue choice. It's such an interesting game. We still haven't even checked out part two yet, which from what we've heard is supposed to be better and deeper than the first one in every way? >.>
