Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition

I played DOS2 before playing this. I love the combat system and I must say I prefer the combat system to DOS2. DOS2 definitely has some better qualities like high ground mechanics and quality of life features but many times combat devolves into trying to break physical/magical armour. I feel like it reduced the creativity in applying spells. I wish spells could crit like in DOS2 though. I like the crafting system, i think it's better than DOS2. You need the giftbag to take full advantage of DOS2 but this game works well even without any mod. I would have liked a city map like in DOS2 though, Cyseal barely qualifies as a town. Furthermore, i feel like the action points are a bit over the top compared to DOS2 (spells requiring 11 action points is just ridiculous). However, I like the fact that you can increase your action points with attributes like speed and perception, I really wanted something like that in DOS2 although I liked the executioner talent. In my opinion, the fact that spells require a lot of action points makes the elemental affinity talent basically useless. It's pointless to stand on harmful surfaces just to cast 11 AP spells for 10AP, it basically makes no difference and you take pointless damage. Elemental affinity makes more sense in DOS2. The glass cannon talent is more useable here than in DOS2. Moreover, Larian needs to make up their mind concerning Source and wizards lol. Spells that required source in DOS2 do not require source here. I didnt like wasting 2ap to cast apotheosis just to use ultimate spells in DOS2. I'm kinda indifferent to damage being based on weapons though. Finally, I really dislike how some spells are just not available and you basically have to reload a bunch of times just to get spells like Divine Light, Infect and Barrage (to a lesser extent). Elemental spellbooks are fine since you can craft them but Scoundrel, Marksman and man-at-arms skillbooks depend on luck. It's extremely annoying and it makes respecing not even worth the effort. I also don't like the fact that you can't respec until quite late into the game. A respec spot at cyseal would have been ideal. I also don't like the fact that respec makes you forget your skills, ties back into the annoyance of trying to get the skills back especially for warriors and rangers.
