Divinity Original Sin 2 - Leaving Reaper's Coast at Last

 The crew is finally headed to the next chapter far stronger than when they arrived. Their roles and character are also much more defined. Like it's a role playing game. I think I'm getting it. Joking aside, I have spent a lot of my time poring over party stats and abilities, carefully equipping them with complementary gear. I am even categorizing items stored on the Lady Vengeance by stuffing them into individual back packs. That's tedious. The results so far: My main character is a chatty, empathetic and visionary shadowblade elf with disgusting eating habits. She dual wields magic daggers.

It's a welcome change from "please search for that missing person who's probably dead" or "I need you to fetch me something is really the gist of this time consuming story". Favourite location:  San Francisco. Yeah the whole thing.  Favourite NPC interactions:  Occasionally a gang war erupts right where the player needs to start a mission. It changes the whole scenario. Loved that. I sometimes stopped to gawk at multi-car p
