Divinity: Original Sin 2 Patch Notes - Hotfix

Two years after their successful Kickstarter campaign, Divinity series creators Larian Studios have finally released their epic new RPG - Divinity: Original Sin 2. It's excellent, you can check out gameplay of us playing it if you like, and even better Larian have kicked their bug-fixing up a gear so we should be seeing regular patches for the game, maybe even with new content too.

And as usual you can count on your friends at GameWatcher to keep you up-to-date with all the latest Patch Notes on the game.

We recently updated our 'Best of PC RPGs' list - Divinity: Original Sin 2 made the cut!

A year after its crowdfunding success, Christian interviewed Larian about Divinity: Original Sin 2

Divinity: Original Sin 2 is a co-op RPG with turn-based combat and a focus on the elements. Getting a character wet will make them resistant to fire but more vulnerable to electricity attacks, that type of thing. This even goes for stepping in a puddle - get a few enemies in there and you can zap them all. Divinity's also about total freedom to do what you want, from killing everyone in a village (and even killing their ghosts) or stealing everything that's not nailed down. Quests can all be accomplished many different ways, no character is essential except your own, and it's funny too. Regularly so. We highly recommend it.

Without further ado, let's get on with the Patch Notes for Divinity: Original Sin 2!
