Though the situation may change with the release of Baldur's Gate 3 , the closest one can get to having a full-fledged Dungeons & Dragons session on console is by playing **Divinity: Original Sin 2 ** . It is not just that it is a turn-based fantasy game - those are by no means uncommon on the latest console generation; Original Sin II fully captures some of the more niche and enjoyable traits from table-top RPG experiences. It adopts such staple TTRPG features as a broad range of abilities , endlessly customizable armor and attire, and a tone that carefully walks the line between high fantasy epic and goofball comedy (the natural endpoint for every Dungeons & Dragons campaign). It is especially impressive that the console port holds up against the PC original , maintaining the complexity with a suitably streamlined control structure. Digital D&D is a difficult goal by any measure, but Original Sin 2 manages to nail the feeling and fun, building Www.Strategylair.com`s statement on its official blog it with an incredible range of customization opti

Players who want a safe melee choice can rely on the Fighter for their 1H-and-Shield specialization. Thankfully, Fortify and Bouncing Shield give the Fighter decent melee and ranged capabilities . Fortify increases their Physical Armor, while Bouncing Shield enables a shield bash to ricoc

As with every class choice in Original Sin 2 , there is no one correct option for the character race, but some are slightly more beneficial than others. Dwarf characters work very well - the inherent racial boost of +1 to sneaking saves point commitments later for an ability that is nearly necessary for the positioning-heavy rogue playstyle. Elves are also quite effective; though the Loremaster bump is something of a write-off, the Flesh sacrifice skill is incredibly useful and pairs well with the Rogue's Adrenaline skill to either take the edge off the subsequent AP drop or to set up an action-heavy round. While certainly still playable, Human, Lizard, and Undead Rogues do not offer directly beneficial perks for pure rogues, but can be helpful for those wishing to branch out into more direct combat-oriented builds, with humans especially being quite versatile in their capabilit

That customization is key even when working within the game's prebuilt character classes. While it is truly a mix-and-match system, there are ways to maximize abilities to fit an archetype, filling out a valuable role in the party. For some, the best place is on the front lines as an armor-clad knight, for others the back lines as a spell-slinging sorcerer. Some, though, prefer to mix it up, to strike from the shadows, and leap back into the dark as soon as the damage is done, keeping the enemy ever on their toes. This is the art of the rogue, the stealthy, sharp striker class that excels at both damage dealing and unmatched mobility. This guide aims to help players create their perfect backstabber, giving the tips and tricks for playing a rogue in Divinity: Original Sin

Any of these lines would make a great secondary skill line option depending on the playstyle that is wanted. Depending on the race of the character may also change the decision. If the Conjurer wants a third skill line, choosing another element may be the best option. Other Conjurer combinations could be Hydrosophist and Necromancy for a support role, Geomancy and Warfare for a tanking role, Pyrokinetic and Huntsman for a ranged role, or Aerotheurge and Scoundrel for a stealthy r

This class specifically is focused on the necromancer and scoundrel skill lines. These lines are based on intelligence and finesse, and focus on dealing physical damage to their enemies. Due to this, players wanting to pick this class for their main character should focus on these details when building up their charac

The go-to weapon for the rogues is the dagger. The exceptional mobility provided by the class makes them uniquely suited to maneuvering around enemies to get the big pop of extra damage from a backstab. Simply move into the radius behind the chosen enemy (depicted as a triangular field with a dagger icon) and attack as typical. It is important to note that not all abilities benefit from the backstab position - check to make sure that the chosen attack makes use of the boost to ensure that AP and recharge time are not being wasted. Rogues can also be quite effective at a distance, but many scoundrel skills rely on being up close, so it can be wise to just keep a ranged weapon on hand for a tight situat

At higher levels, the Witch’s mastery over Necromancer and Scoundrel should give them an advantage towards both stealthy gameplay and high-risk Vitality plays. The presence of Raise Bone Widow (Necromancer 2) alone should distract enemies long enough for the Witch to attack with Corrupted Blade, Rupture Tendons, or Sawtooth Knife (Scoundrel 2). Should they end up in a tight spot, they can’t be reduced below 1 HP via Living on the Edge and they may have enemies take all their damage with Shackles of Pain (Necromancer
