I adore all of the updates and (most of) the changes. By no means do they spoil the experience as a whole, but they do pull the player out of the otherwise beautifully crafted game world.Įnhanced Edition brings a breath of fresh air into the Original Sin experience in a great way. There are also a few other oddly specific bugs which the majority of players would never encounter, but are nevertheless discouraging if you stumble upon them. While many have been fixed, there are still a couple that can cause items to disappear if you suddenly fail to meet their equip requirements, or the infuriating issue with successfully stolen items sometimes not appearing in your bags (which is particularly irksome as I tend to play a thief-style character). My real grievances, though, are with the lingering bugs in the inventory system (which I suspect stem from its reworking of the RNG thing). But it is what it is, and Larian have changed their game to better reflect their vision, so I can hardly fault them for it-even if I disagree with the sentiment. In a single-player/ small-scale co-op game, abuse of a mechanic like this doesn’t upset the community affect anyone beyond your local game, so taking it away from the players who take advantage of it (whether for personal gain, or to offset the difficulty of the new Tactician mode, or even just crummy luck) only serves to drive those players away, while offering no benefit to the rest of the player base. Players who attempt this will now be granted a single re-roll on the RNG seed for a container, at which point the new roll is locked in, never to be changed again. But what I don’t understand is why Larian felt the need to remove it entirely in Enhanced Edition. I’m not big on the notion of “save scumming”-the process of saving before an RNG roll (such as looting) with the intent of loading again if the result isn’t favourable. Though there are a couple I find perplexing. Certainly, many of the changes are not only welcomed, but brilliant-most of them, in fact, are. By most accounts, the Enhanced Edition is an equally great success a logical next step in the interim before a proper sequel. ![]() Mixing together refreshingly innovative, yet familiar, gameplay elements, social battles, and co-op gameplay into a narrative that’s as vibrant and interesting as the world that frames it, Original Sin was a truly deserved follow-up to the once-great Divinity franchise, and a beacon of success in a sea of Kickstarter revivals. Sadly, some new bugs (and a few old ones) prevent D:OS – EE from reaching its true potential.ĭivinity: Original Sin is one of my favourite RPGs in recent memory. With a gargantuan list of changes and enhancements, including new mechanics, voice overs, items, spells, and an entirely new difficulty meant to challenge even the best min/maxers, it has the potential to launch the game to all-new heights. Coincidentally, this coincides with the game’s console launch. ![]() ![]() Divinity: Original Sin – Enhanced Edition is a free update to the original game that developer Larian Studios considers to be a whole new game, more than just an updated version of the existing product.
