Are there environmental or spell interactions?

[DarkChaoX]

So i have played this game for a bit but not a huge amount yet. Does anyone know if there are any sort of environmental or spell interactions like flame+ice or oil on ground + fire etc? Similar to what DOS2 does?
Was curious as to be honest i really prefer the classes and the characters you can make in this compared to it.

nope

In fact, there is ONE such interaction, there is a column in the Tower of Estrod you can push over on your enemies. BTW, if you hit your own characters, you get an (ironic) achievement for it.

I have that achievement.

AFAIK, that's Uncle Owl kinda mocking the use of such things in other games.

As for me, like you, I like them, seems like a neat feature for BG3. Be cool to have exploding barrels next to archers you can ignite by hitting the barrels. But nope.

A lot of people like talking about how this is a "tactical" game. Well, they definitely are not big into one thing I see as defining that - how to use the environment to your advantage. Let alone utilize elements of it.

The environment plays zero role in Crusade battles, too. OK, other than a tree or rock you might have to go around. <rolleyes>

Big N.O

Thank god, no. That was the worst part of divinity games.

Maybe only through elemental barrage mythic ability, if you could count it as DOS equivalent

This is not a quality game as Divinity: Original Sin

Wrong. This game is based of already existing rule while D:OS created their own

Pathfinder has rules for environmental interactions, including the damage for dropping objects on enemies.

Yeah, can't blame "the rules" for not doing this one.

Nu-huh. Praise Torag.

There is some ground based stuff(Web, Grease, Pit etc), but nothing extensive. And no spell / elemrnt interaction. Thank Asmodeus for that! Otherwise everything else would become in service of environment / element interaction.

Nah, it can't be as cool as DOS2

Unfortunately even things that are actually canon interactions in tabletop (Like web + any fire) don't work here.
