Enemies don't know you're a skeleton until you're in combat then all of a sudden everyone turns Mercy from overwatch and heals you to death

[@ProxyGateTactician]

That was always strange to me. They should have to find out naturally by poisoning you and forgetting you're immune the same way I did when fighting undead

[@m-seb]

That's because they all have an unusually high loremaster skill that lets them know your actual attributes, which is complete bullshit. I've seen a few mods made specifically to fix that.

[@RevyaAeinsett]

​@@m-sebThe classic approach to difficulty of just allowing the AI to know everything it needs to to always make the optimal choice _and_ allowing it to make said optimal choice 100% of the time. Like an RTS AI ignoring fog of war and making decisions based on information a human player couldn't have in that situation.

What I love is how Zaleskar says he's proud of his heritage because he wears an open-faced helmet. But in the game's coding ANY headwear conceals your identity as an undead, even a hat that doesn't even cover the top of your skull, let alone your face. So by the rules of the world, if a thin piece of cloth on your head is enough to make people forget undead are a thing, then they helped Zaleskar not knowing he was undead, because they're idiots. Not his fault the sanctuary can't see through his open-faced helmet.

[@ProxyGateTactician]

😂 maybe he didn’t realize he was hiding his own face by that logic then. He just thought wow these guys like me even tho I’m showing my face

A DoS2 video in this day and age? Well, color me surprised! I love this! Re: Vredeman being Braccus Rex though, it really wasn't that big of a "surprise". His lore was scattered and always mentioned all around Fort Joy area (the purging wands, undead priestess at Amadia's sanctuary, the different points of interest, soul jar visions, and Withermoore's story to name a few). And then, there's Tarquin's job of reviving Braccus Rex, the logs in Dallis's diary, and Vredeman unleashing Meteor Shower turn 1 during the Lady Vengeancr fight is a nice callback to DoS1's Braccus Rex unleashing Meteor turn 1 as well. Some magisters (I forgot where) have also pointed out that Dallis began to change for the worse ever since Vredeman became her advisor, although it's unclear if it's because Fane's Daughter replaced the real Dallis or if it was Braccus's influence. Still, it was made a point that Braccus Rex is just THAT manipulative, devious, and sinister that I wouldn't put it past him to be the one pulling all the strings all along as to how Dallis was always one step ahead of you. It all comes to a head when you're doing the Anathema questline, at the end of which Tarquin reveals that it's for killing the Source King himself (which is something that we saw coming at that point). As for Vredeman choosing to "let loose" at that exact point in time, this doesn't have an in-lore explanation but my theory is he was only pretending to be controlled so he can get as close to Lucian's Tomb as possible. His plan of using Bishop Alexander to get close to godhood under the guise of "training" him was a bust after all. He was probably hoping for the 2 sides to face-off at the end so he can sieze all the source for himself. However, as the last part of his plans didn't seem to be going his way, he had no choice to but finally reveal his power in a last attempt to regaining his former glory. I don't know if you played DoS1, but as someone who did, it was a treat learning more and more about Braccus Rex and finally getting the chance to fight him at his "full power" (only once though. Going through all the sworn and the Kraken ain't as fun the 2nd time beyond) because the fight in 1 didn't really do him justice. The one thing that's still a headscratcher to me though is how he's connected to the God King. I didn't peg him to be the type to be sworn, after all, and I don't quite remember if there was any mention of him being sword.

[@ProxyGateTactician]

I hadn't played DOS1 so it's interesting the stuff I missed about him. Most of the commenters who mention it was hinting at him had played DOS1 from what I'm seeing now. As someone who started on that game it felt pretty lame that he was this random guy who suddenly broke slavery to be a boss. I still love the game's combat, side quests, and characters, but that last boss was always weird to me. Never knew why the god king was with Braccus, and I'm pretty sure even if you're still allied with the god king you still fight those guys don't you?

[@chuchubag]

@@ProxyGateTactician Being honest, the reveal that Vredeman was B.Rex at the end didn't hit the landing right, just because there wasn't a lot of focus put onto him and it felt forced to have a "phase 2" fight. It was the only thing that feels off if you haven't played DoS1, and yup, it sucks. Even if you have seen the hints about B. Rex, it just hits different if you're a DoS1 player so I can see where you're coming from. As for fighting him even when allied with the God King, I'm ashamed to say that I haven't done the God King route yet as we almost always kill Sallow Man (don't remember if you can still be sworn even if he's dead). I'm also not sure what happens if you ally with Adramahliik and fight him. I don't remember if the demon grants assistance in that fight.

[@jagondal8378]

Fun Fact: Braccus Rex doesn't cast Meteor Shower on turn 1 if he doesn't survive round 1. Use warp/teleport to stack everyone, then drop an AoE source spell with splash damage like Pyroclasm or the upgrade of Blood Rain. Just make sure Dallas doesn't die first as it automatically triggers phase 2. I had already beaten the game once or twice like that before seeing the extended fight in a YT video lol

That Braccus Rex reveal at the end really only works if you played DOS 1. Which is notable because DOS 2 was the first game Larian made that TRULY exploded in popularity BG3 is effectively Larian's first chance to make a game with the budget that matches their talent, and in that regard it becomes obvious just how talented and passionate their teams are.

[@ProxyGateTactician]

I’ve read that a lot yeah. I loved every moment of DoS2 except for that boss fight tbh so I’m not gonna complain too much. BG3 really was great but I miss Divinity combat so I can’t wait for whatever they’re making next

[@somedudewithakeyboard5388]

@@ProxyGateTactician I really do like Divinity's combat. THough admittedly, BG3 has a TON more options when it comes to buildcrafting, whereas DOS 2 mostly just boils down to "Armor shred then CC" I do think that if/when DOS3 (or whatever the next Divinity game is called) Larian will be able to finally perfect the Divinity combat system. In all honesty, my biggest hope for DOS3 is that they finally get a concrete settlement on the worldbuilding. Divinity has a wonderful world, and I particularly LOVE the Ancient Empire and its History. Given that in like, 90% of the endings, the Ancient Empire remains the strongest force in Revellon, I can only really see it playing a massive role in the invasion from Nemesis that DOS2 pretty blatantly alludes to

The game is meant to be silly and whimsical and make no sense is how I always felt. Braccus is talked about a lot during act 1, and a bit by Tarquin, but he felt like a character who didn’t belong as the boss. (Probably because I didn’t play dos1)

I'm pretty sure I ate their souls in my playthroughs just because of how insufferable they are, but they still kept coming back in the last fight. I might be misremembering though cuz I always make it a point to try and one-shot Vredeman during phase 1 because the Braccus fight is a slog to go through.

[@dragonirradiant3188]

even if you consume their source after killing them, they are still resurrected for that fight. knowing the other divinity games' lore explains many of the stranger lore points (such as dragon knights, among which Dallis is one of the only few remaining), but those four getting resurrected even after their source had been consumed was frustrating

[@EFJ56]

Maybe my game was broken? I played as Fane and if I died, once I got him back up, it would auto-remove his headgear and no one seemed to care. It was disappointing they made such a big deal about him being undead when no one treated him differently than the other characters. Good to know the game does account for this, just not in my playthrough unfortunately.

Random KZbinr: beat divinity 2 for undead Random Russian: doing SOLO NO DAMAGE RUN FOR MAX DIFFICULTY for undead

[@ProxyGateTactician]

lol fair enough. I care more about trying to find something interesting rather than impossible

[@MEnUequals2]

>be me couple years ago >choosing skeleton cause cool looking >spawns, looks around and takes the ladder >immidiate combat and dies -"this game is impossible" >quits and havnt played it till then.

[@irithylldragon]

i do love that in order to be 'masked' you have to make sure you have a head covering on, when in reality we're all aware that you could be *completely* naked with undead nature fully exposed, but the *moment* you put a bucket on your head everybody's all "oh yeah that's bucket-head bob he's just a funny guy"

[@DocDictator]

Woa, Divinity 2 videos? divinity 2 challenges? yes, here is a like and here is a share, more please.

[@ProxyGateTactician]

I always found it weird how few there were for that game. It deserves more for sure. Thanks for checking it out

[@boxofmadness2511]

why didnt you hire two skeleton hirelings? i feel like only using two characters is bit of an unnecesary handicap, unless you are using the lonewolf perk (i dont remember the actual name, but basically the perk that lets two characters get twice as many of everything)

[@Shadowtepller333]

Thank god someone else talked about the same intro for DOS2 and BG3..there are SO MANY similarities between the two games it's kinda stupid lol

[@utgabek9059]

Your vids are super fun for someone who’s new to RPGs! I’m in act 3 of BG3 rn and your vids are helping me build interest in other play throughs there and in other games like DOS2. Keep it up!

[@doctorfrost3]

"a fort full of unfriendly fucks" Lol had me dieing

[@kennnnnnnnnnnnnnn]

You still havent explained how you have HP being undead

[@Spyko-]

man, I picked up DOSII recently and I'm waiting to get the time to start a game, so I can't watch this video yet 'cause spoilers :c I'll be sure to come back when I've finished at least one playthrough

[@ProxyGateTactician]

It’s a great game! Hope you enjoy it

[@jimmyrustles358]

The final fight of DOS2 was definitely disappointing. Fucking Braccus Rex ruins everything.

[@rustyjones7908]

1:30 dat wiggle tho...

[@maizakame689]

I wonder if the butler was mishap was caused because you were undead *and* a lizor. Does that nullify his racism to the undead?

[@The_butler_did_it1194]

God i love dos 2. Glad bg3 has moved people back to one of my favs. 1500 hours, still playing. Grwat modding pillars too! Fane main for life.

[@TalithShotgun]

What's my excuse you ask? Well. I also have brain damage. Took 3 tries, but I have, laudibly, beaten away the brain cancer with my patented 'fuck off' stick; with circumstantial bonuses from 2 craniotomies, and a fusion special attack of chemo pills and 6 weeks daily radiation. The only casualty was my hair.... Pretty good excuse I'd say. And no, I don't want/need well wishes or a pity party. This is intended to shift my suffering those few years ago, I to some opportunistic dark humor. I wish I hadn't gone through that shit. But it's a great way to kill a vibe, and I do enjoy this odd power I have attained.

[@ProxyGateTactician]

Glad to hear you made it man. My father didn’t survive it 2 years ago. Own that as much as you want and kill any vibes you earned it.

[@frenchfry214]

I’m a new player; I have one character with 7 health potions and the other characters have almost none, how do I only share a couple among my team and not all 7 to one person?

[@Glitch47278]

"Solved a really boring puzzle that doesn't even belong in this game" is the realest shit I've ever heard, absolutely hate that section of the game.

[@jessblues848]

BRB gotta best DOS2 real quick so i can watch my fave KZbinr

[@jayrobitaille2402]

BGIII SPOILER (click "read more" at the bottom if you OK seeing a BGIII spoiler) 14:16 BGIII also has two puzzles involving paintings, but at least using them differently: 1. One of the puzzles in Ansur's lair 2. There is a button behind a painting to get into the murder Tribunal.

[@jayrobitaille2402]

@@Sletchman Never did that one tbh. That is one of the only quests in Act 3 I have never done in multiple runs through the game, along with the one involving Gale's Cat, the clown parts quest and the hag quest.

[@HPFireYT]

My friend’s partner recommended we try this game a few years back, which is how I learned this type of game could turn me into an unmoving rock that only played DOS2. I should finish this game…

[@NoForksGiven]

I knew you could fire the ballista because I was messing around with them once but it never occured to me to use them during the one time you fight on the boat

[@serotonin.scavenger]

Ngl, skelly lizard hips are sexy

[@Name-oy2dl]

You totally do have a chance against the guards if the other prisoners are fighting with you. I kill them all every playthrough, it’s easy even on honour mode. One or two of the other prisoners might die, but any origin companions will be alive in fort joy even if they die on the ship and none of the others ever show up again. I usually kill all but one origin companion on the ship. It grants no xp but you get their stuff 👍

[@ProxyGateTactician]

I always do it in regular runs using the cheese strat where you aggro them all then run into the room and it insta kills them but in a run like this it felt out of place to do such a thing

[@tavastian3288]

you know, the same intro is not twice in a row.. its thrice as divinity 1 also starts you off fresh on a beach :D

[@JaangoFett]

Awww got me wanting to replay this great game! Silly story and all lol. The combat just felt so good for casters!

[@ProxyGateTactician]

The combat in DoS2 is sooo fun. Combining surfaces etc is very satisfying and teleporting

[@JuanDiegoCorreaQuintero-ss1pd]

What do you mean silly story?

[@campingcake]

Always made me mad how my friends would never touch divinity 2 but immediately jumped on BG3. I refuse to play that game divinity 2 just feels more alive and soulful.

[@shadowpeople2645]

as much as i love bg3 you could feel dos2 they had no restraints on everything more fleshed out

[@Half-LightZ13]

I just watched 14 minutes of this video thinking it was BG3 and thinking "wow, I don't remember any of this at all". Lol...god I'm dumb.

[@ProxyGateTactician]

Hahaha

[@Mangix974]

Imagine the game is clever than you at the point you need to search for the meaning of some words that even natives never heard about😮

[@costar456]

oh sweet tactician, Larian has done 3 games that start you out on a beach. it's in dos1, dos2, and bg3

[@psykopyro]

You sneaked passed the 2nd encounter. Covering your face and body, therefore masking you. Challenge failed, video disliked, removed from recommends.

[@ProxyGateTactician]

:( dang
