Part 1 - GameRefinery" />Upon starting the game, players may choose to select pre-built characters with their own story in Divinity Original Sin 2, or they can build a custom character. If the player chooses the latter, they may select from Human, Lizard, Elf, Dwarf, or Undead as a race. Race selection has unique combat benefits in the form of Talents and Skills, and also affects conversions with NPCs. All custom characters' races come with Dome of Protect<br><br> <br>The sheer number of options can be daunting to any new player of Divinity Original Sin 2.

There is no perfect way to make a party.

These characters include Beast, a dwarf who led a failed rebellion against the queen, Fane, an undead human who woke up with the world he knew long gone, Ifan ben-Mezd, a human who was a crusader who lost his faith and has become a Lone Wolf mercenary, Lohse, a star chanteuse whose body is now host to a mysterious entity who makes its presence known at inopportune times, The Red Prince, a brilliant warrior general who was exiled for cavorting with demons, and Sebille, an elf slave turned assassin who hunts her former master. While certain classes make more sense for these character's history, the player is free to change their build into whichever one they wish to play as. The Origin characters can also be recruited into the player's party, and their presence will activate origin events the player can engage in specific situations and they also open up certain dialog options. When recruiting them, changing their class is worked into the dialog so the player has a lot of customization options in their party. The player can also split up the party if they want to have someone do some sneaking around alone or divide the party into two groups of two, which is easily done by moving the portraits of the character in the upper left hand corner.<br><br>The player is free to create a custom original character to fit their own design as was the case in its predecessor, but the option of selection a premade character with an origin story is available. These characters come with their own unique background that are closely linked to the main narrative. Origin story characters not selected by the player can still be encountered as NPCs and possible join the character's party. The origin story will be an evolving element of the character that is shaped through completion of origin story quests. The specific origin stories will influence how the inhabitant of Rivellon react to the player and will provide additional dialog options. There are currently four origin stories available in the Early Access with the plan to add more as the game continues to develop. To give an example of what makes origin stories unique, the character Lohse has an entity that communicates with her, something akin to demonic possession mixed with schizophrenia. It is possible for Lohse to enter a state of temporary insanity if she fails to win a challenge against this thing that dwells within her.<br><br> <br>Crafting in Divinity Original Sin 2 is a fascinating feature in that some players can go most of the <a href="http://Ausnznet.com/m/getpic.aspx?url=http://Tamilachat.org/community/profile/joellenstiner8/">SLG Game updates</a> without knowing it even exists. The knowledge that is indeed in the game, and understanding how to use crafting can make getting through the game a little easier.
