What is the difference?

[RatBag]

I just got both DOS 1 and 2 on sale not played the games before - Is their much difference between classic and enhanced ? - Just matter of interest that all

Thank you

Play enhanced. The enhanced editions of both games are basically like big patches, so you will get a better experience playing the enhanced versions for both.

*Edit* For divinity original sin 2 it's called definitive instead of enhanced, but in your library it won't show as definitive but that's the only version of 2 that you can play.

Yup, there are tons and tons of differences.

I don't agree with AllOutWar76's post, because it makes it sound like the EE of DOS 1 is inherently & objectively better than the Classic. That is not necessarily the case though, as not all of the changes in the EE are good.

Many of the traps/puzzles in the EE have been made a lot more annoying, for example.

And they also changed tons of the skills, and some people may prefer the Classic versions of them.

I personally am not an expert on the Classic version though as I've never played it, so I can't really fully speak to what all the differences are.

But I do know that when I was playing through the EE and finding solutions to the puzzles/traps on youtube videos that didn't work in the EE version because the devs had nerfed those solutions...I sure wished that they hadn't have made those parts of the game worse in the EE.

In other words, I'd gladly swap in the original puzzles/traps from the Classic version in place of the EE's (IMO vastly worse) replacement versions if I was given the choice (but the game doesn't offer any choice like that).
