Classes

Divinity Original Sin 2 Change Armor Appearance

Character creation in D:OS can be a fairly long and involved process if you choose. When you first start a new game, you are tasked to create your first two characters, both in appearance and starting skills.

Your characters can be assigned a class from a list of eleven Preset Classes, but these classes are merely presets to the myriad of skills, talents, and spells you can assign. If you're a veteran of role-playing games or desire control, you can customize every aspect of your characters. Abilities, Talents, and Skills all have prerequisites, thus introducing the balance. However, if you are customizing, the class you choose is actually meaningless. All that matters is whether you're applying points to the areas that work for your playstyle.

It is in your best interest to create your first two characters in such a way that they complement each other. Naturally you can go with the basic route of a melee fighter backed up with a healer, or a wizard who does massive damage backed by a sneaky rogue who backstabs everyone. The possibilities are endless.

However, the possibilities also mean you can theoretically break your game before it begins. For example, you could pour all your starting Ability points into Two-Handed Weapons, but then only run around with a dagger and a shield. The preset classes can help you avoid those mistakes, though each can still be further customized.

As you level up, the same rules apply, so you can theoretically end up with a high-level character that plays against the type of what you started with. A character's starting perks are just that: what he or she starts with, not necessarily what he or she will need to be or do as the campaign goes along.

Regardless of whether you use a preset class or customize, you will start off with the following perks:

• 5 Attribute Points
• 5 Ability Points
• 2 Talents
• 3 Starting Skills

Again, all skills and talents have prerequisites, so you may want to fill in your attributes and abilities first when starting from scratch.
