When I first booted up Divinity: Original Sin 2 at the behest of a good friend who had also done so, I didn't know that I'd spend the next nearly 100 hours of play time exploring one of the richest worlds in RPGs. I didn't know that I'd bear witness to a mad woman slaughter a ship full of my captors. I didn't know that I could go from annoyance towards a certain red lizard, to admiration. I didn't know that the phrase, "I'LL KILL YOUR SHINING LIGHTS" would invoke so much terror in me. I didn't know that turtles and rats could fall in love. I didn't know that living ships could manifest intimate bed chambers within themselves. I didn't know that I'd fall in love with Rivellon, Lohse, Beast, The Red Prince, and the other eccentric cast of characters that make up the narrative brilliance that is found in this game.

I didn't know a lot of things that I do now, and that experience of finding all the cool encounters, interactions, items, characters, and locations is what makes this game so special. If you like stellar characters, don't mind dynamic and addictive turn based combat, and are searching for a game that respects your ingenuity as a role player, I'm happy to say that your search is over.
