Some RPGs make you feel godly by battling big bosses or making heady choices. In Divinity: Original Sin, it's about discovering how you affect the world. I realized the power at my disposal when I used my mage's rain spell to douse the flames afflicting a boat in the starting town of Cyseal. Piff, down went the flames and up went the cheering arms of the rescued sailors. No yellow question marks or blathering NPCs bid me do it; it simply seemed like a good idea at the time. And praise the sun, it was. That's the kind of rewarding experimentation that lies at the heart of Divinity: Original Sin. Discovering how its many complex pieces interact with each other and how its complex and amazing spell system can be used to your advantage is what keeps it going for the majority of its outstanding 60-ish hours of questing.

I played the second one and fell in love with the game. I thought ''why dont i play this one too'', oh boy. It felt harder that the second for some reason. Also the lack of indicators for the quests and the general QOL that was present in the second game is apparent. It's still a good game but i don't know if i will ever finish it. I would rather replay the sequel or BG3 instead.

Divinity: Original Sin – Enhanced Edition is a tactical role-playing game that revitalizes the classic CRPG formula with depth, freedom, and smart writing. It combines strategic turn-based combat, meaningful player choice, and cooperative gameplay to create one of the most complete role-playing experiences of its generation.
The story follows two Source Hunters investigating a mysterious murder in the city of Cyseal, gradually uncovering a plot that threatens the fabric of reality. The narrative is layered with humor, moral ambiguity, and philosophical undertones. Dialogue choices matter, influencing character relationships, quests, and even combat outcomes.
Gameplay is defined by its interactivity. Almost every object, surface, and environmental element can be manipulated. Fire spreads, water conducts electricity, and poison ignites. Combat becomes a puzzle where creative thinking often wins over brute force. This system rewards experimentation, not repetition.
Character creation and progression are flexible. Players can customize skills, attributes, and abilities without being locked into rigid classes. Cooperative play enhances this freedom—two players can explore, argue over choices, or separate to pursue different objectives simultaneously. The resulting dynamics make co-op feel organic rather than forced.
Visually, the Enhanced Edition improves textures, lighting, and interface clarity while keeping the game’s distinct hand-painted fantasy style. The redesigned UI and full voice acting make exploration and dialogue more immersive. Every conversation and environment feels alive and reactive.
The writing maintains a balance between wit and seriousness. Quests often carry multiple solutions, and morality is never simple. Whether you’re solving a murder, arguing with a talking shell, or deciding the fate of an entire village, the game constantly invites critical thinking and reflection.
In essence, Divinity: Original Sin – Enhanced Edition is a masterclass in player agency and tactical depth. It’s challenging, rewarding, and endlessly replayable. Every decision feels personal, every victory earned through intellect and creativity. It stands as one of the finest examples of modern role-playing design rooted in classic principles.

Couldn't get anyone to play this game with me because turn based RPGs weren't the wave to ride back then. Finally got a friend IRL that would come over and split screen and we almost beat it before they moved away. Solid turn based RPG experience and good memories.

A great game, and a massive success for DND style RPG's. but at this point I recommend playing the Enhanced Edition.

This is better than enhanced edition. Wands are overpowered in enhanced edition and destroy the balance of the game. As a hardcore player, the enhanced edition also added some unfair things that a person seeing it for the first time could not be prepared for - deaths that arent your fault dont rly exist in classic. also in the enhanced edition theres so many shops you can just gear up by shopping too easily. i wouldnt play enhanced edition again, and would recommend this game to everyone its absolutely amazing to play blind with a friend. masterpiece.
