Divinity: Original Sin 2 Ending (Finished on Tactician Difficulty!)
0Here's just a quick video to celebrate the moment when I finally beat Divinity: Original Sin 2. (For the sake of brevity, the ending cutscenes are not included in their entirety.).
It was my first playthrough, and I somehow managed to finish the campaign on the game's highest difficulty mode, "Tactician". Despite some terrible character development choices, I never even used the respec feature. It wasn't exactly a smooth ride - many hour-long battles had to be restarted due to poor planning and tactics - but having made it all the way to the end is undoubtedly my greatest gaming achievement since the "no powers/no kills/never been seen" playthrough of Dishonored 2 way back in 2017.
My protracted adventures in D:OS2 started during a four week vacation in the summer of 2020 (several years after the game's initial release), and I spent roughly 120 hours with Larian's massive RPG at that point. I got as far as the Nameless Isle, but then put my playthrough on hold and didn't get back to it until now.
After roughly 65+ hours of additional game time (made possible due to another summer vacation, appropriately enough), I finally saw the credits roll on what is probably my favorite CRPG of the last 10 years or so. And the full version of Baldur's Gate 3 is finally being released two weeks from now, so I guess there will be some more Larian-themed gaming in my near future...
