Similarly one may ask, what is so good about Divinity Original Sin 2?
Divinity: Original Sin 2 is, by all accounts, a very good game. It holds a steady 93% average score on Metacritic and has attracted critical superlatives up to and including PCGamesN's own review, which credits its creators with having “shaped a genre moulded by nostalgia into genuinely new forms.”
Also, does Divinity 2 continue the story? Hardly, it takes place a thousand years after the first game. There are a couple of vague references to events that occur in the first game but that's about it. Playing the first one might give you an idea of the gameplay/universe, but it is by no means required if you want to play DOS2.
Herein, does Divinity Original Sin get better?
User Info: SoulTrapper. Turn up the difficulty. If that doesn't do it, than the game isn't for you. It doesn't get any better after Cyseal.
Is Divinity 2 open world?
Skyrim's charm comes precisely from its completely open-world experience, which lets players roam around freely. In Divinity: Original Sin 2, the game tries to guide players a bit more. Each Act takes place in a new map, which technically can be explored freely.
