Divinity II: Game?

[GuRu Asaki]

So I accidentally bought this to try out on
a System I found Free, wanting to see if it worked...

I thought it was a different Game, but
I got the name wrong... The other Game
was on PlayStation 3 I guess, oO

Anyways, this is a Diablo like Styled Game, right? Is there anything anyone can tell me about this Game?

How is it compared to Diablo 2 / 3?
How are the Custom Characters in it?

Are there a wide range of Character Creation?

What about Weapons?
Is there more then just Swords?

Any help would be great?

I wanted to get Diablo 4, but after I heard
about Studio Changes, I decided against it...

No, 'Divinity 2' is a Diablo-style game (an arpg), this is 'Divinity Original Sin' which is a Baldur's Gate-style crpg. This one has a tongue-in-cheek comedy style and a very deep combat system. The sequel, 'Divinity Original Sin 2' takes place about a thousand years in the future and is not a sequel so you needn't play this one first. 'Divinity Original Sin 2' is the better of the two games, with better writing, better combat, and much better companions, but they are both worth playing.

If you want some good Diablo style games, I'd highly recommend 'Guild Wars 2' which has a ton of content and places to explore in its still being expanded mmo format. If not that game, then that Diablo mobile port is pretty good and you don't notice any dropoff in gameplay to force purchases until the end of the story. 'Lost Ark' is also an excellent arpg which, again, can be played with no in-game purchases well into the endgame.

1.) I only asked about the 2nd Game.

2.) The extra info about the 1st Game,
I thank for Bonus Info added on Top,
so no biggy.

3.) I'm mostly just looking to Game with a few friends in Offline Diablo Style.

4.) Diablo 4, is entirely Online, with a mixed in Support for Offline, however? I scrapped that off my list because I think the New Dev Changes will ruin it.

5.) I've heard of Guild Wars or 2, never played, but I think it's only Online, & I dun have Internet right now.

6.) DLC, Expansion Packs, & MOD's aren't a concern really for me, i'm not hugely invested in Expanding further right now. Kinda doing this all much more cost efficient. Season Passes, Packs, High Costs, & Monthly Fees, are more concerning to me, & very disliked.

7.) Lost Ark, no in-game purchases?
Not sure about that one, well see.

8.) Not a Mobile Phone Fan, wanting to
throw mine away at some point. They
cause too many Problems today.

9.) Divinity II, better of the 2 Games?
-- Hopefully, yur right.
-- I had doubts about it,
---- over the Cover Art.

I was hoping for a bit more Weapon flexing, & change... But i'm guessing Character Class is locked to the Characters, no? Meaning no Clubs, no Bats, no Axes, no Meat Cleavers, no Hatchets, no Boomerangs, no Throwing Stars, no Throwing Knives, no Guns of any kind?

Am I correct about this?

Diablo series/franchise are action RPG style games, which means that they're real-time. Unlike Divinity: Original Sin and Divinity: Original Sin 2, which are BOTH turn-based cRPGs.

In case it's not clear, turn-based means that you and the opponent take turns, kinda like in board games or card games.

But i don't blame you for confusing Divinity II with D:OS 2, it's kinda the devs' fault and the only way it could've been more confusing is if a Spanish guy was referring to it as "D:OS dos".

This game, Divinity: Original Sin, is absolutely nothing whatsoever at all like any Diablo game, period.

I can see how you might get that wrong impression if all you did was watch the trailers, which might give someone new to the game the wrong impression that it is like Diablo (simply because Diablo games feature a similar overhead point of view).

But it's really, really, really not.

Diablo is a button-mashing arcade-style, real-time action game, based primarily on mindlessly spamming buttons constantly.

In very strong contrast, Divinity: Original Sin (also also D:OS part 2) is a turn-based strategy/tactics game, with no arcadey gameplay and no button mashing.

Also, your OP is not clear if you are meaning to talk about Divinity Original Sin and part II, or if you are instead, in contrast to that, talking about another game from the same devs which is literally named Divinity 2, but that is actually a totally different games than Divinity: Original Sin 2, and this board has nothing to do with that game.

If you're looking for a Diablo style game, you could try Nine Parchments or Children of Morta. The playstyle is much more similar, and both support some form of coop.
