This mode is intended for players who want to focus on the dialogue and spend less time in combat. This includes new areas to explore as well as new voice acted characters.Ī new, more casual, difficulty called Story Mode has also been added to game.
To alleviate this, Larian have added a new deck to tutorial ship to gradually introduce players to the many mechanics present in the game.
The tutorial section in the original threw a lot of information and game mechanics at players at the same time and this ended up overwhelming a lot of people. Some fights have also been reworked and they are adding new fights to the game as well. They have focused on fixing the pacing of the late game revamping the goal and XP curves from Act 2 onwards and rebalancing the armour in all fights. In a new video on their YouTube channel, the team explains how they spent a lot of time collecting data and reading on forums looking for issues with the game. They previously talked about the changes coming to the UI as well as a massive rework of the often confusing journal system. However, the developers at Larian Interactive are not content to rest on their laurels and have been putting in some serious work for the upcoming Definitive Edition of the game. Divinity Original Sin 2 launched to universal acclaim in September of 2017.
