About Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition
Divinity: Original Sin 2 – Definitive Edition drops players into Rivellon after the Divine’s death, with the Void looming. The narrative asks players to choose a race and, if desired, one of six origin characters, each carrying unique back‑stories and quests that shape how NPCs respond.
The game blends deep, turn‑based combat with an interactive world where height, elemental combos, and over 200 skills matter. Up to four players can join via drop‑in/drop‑out co‑op, split‑screen, or online PvP, while Game Master Mode and a Steam Workshop level editor let creators add their own stories.
01 / THE GUIDE
Origin Characters and Races
Players may select one of six origin characters, each with a personal background and dedicated quest line. Choosing an origin influences dialogue, reputation, and the availability of certain story events, making each play‑through distinct.
Beyond origins, the character creator offers five selectable races—Human, Lizard, Elf, Dwarf, or Undead. The chosen race also affects how the world reacts, but the game does not permit the creation of races beyond these listed options.
- Try a different origin in a new save to compare quest variations.
- Observe NPC greetings after changing your race to spot subtle dialogue shifts.

Turn‑Based Tactical Combat
Combat proceeds in turn‑based rounds, encouraging players to combine elemental spells, use height for range advantages, and manipulate the environment as a weapon. Over 200 skills across 12 schools provide extensive customization.
The AI 2.0 system is described as particularly devious, rewarding players who master environmental interactions and strategic positioning to overcome intelligent enemy behavior.
- Experiment with fire‑plus‑oil combos for area damage.
- Place characters on higher tiles to extend attack reach.

Co‑op and PvP Options
The title supports up to four players in cooperative or competitive modes. Drop‑in/drop‑out co‑op works online or via local split‑screen, and full controller support is included for both play styles.
Online and shared/split‑screen PvP are also available, and Steam features such as Remote Play Together and Remote Play on TV extend multiplayer to additional devices.
- Use split‑screen for couch co‑op sessions.
- Test AI tactics against human opponents in PvP for fresh challenges.

Players can also download fan‑made campaigns and mods from the Steam Workshop, adding new quests, mechanics, or visual tweaks to the game world.
