Rub the dog's belly to receive a key. Feed this dead man's head to the elf, to gain new knowledge. Help the burning pig. 10 Booply Bears out of 10. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[UPDATE]: Today, I finished the game in Classic (Normal) difficulty mode. I'll try to make it short.

I really, really like this game. It is the strongest RPG in a very long time. I played the RPG of this level (I mean, pure RPG) when I was a kid. I am talking about games like Neverwinter Nights and Lionheart.

I also really enjoyed the story(-ies) and the characters (perhaps even more than the other elements of the game). The fact that they added the voice acting made this game even more fantastic, from the perspective of storytelling. The text is written really good and is highly enjoyable. The "Narrator" is a brilliant detail. I wish to thank the person who proposed to add the voiced narrator to the game, because this really adds to the immersion.

The combat system is not so glorious after some point. Closer to the final part of the game it became kind of boring. But not enough boring to drop the game, anyway) I was driven to play it, most of the time, by the story.

Although, there are some moments that feeled kind of weak written (or weird?). E.g. the Beast sidequest ending (I won't spoil it here, don't worry). It felt kind of weak. On the other hand, Lohse's quest ending was much, much stronger.

There also were some really frustrating moments (e.g. Cursed Covenants and the tiny tiny bits of Cursed fire, stuck in some isolated little spaces), but most of them bears technical character, so they will be most likely patched or you just can forgive it, because the game is still awesome.

So, to summarise, I can definitely recommend this game. Despite some minor flaws (nothing is perfect in this world, anyways), Divine Divinity: Original Sin 2 is one of the greatest RPGs of all times and for me, it was the time, well spent.

Thank you, devs! I wish you good fortune in your future projects.
