Beyond using this feature to keep from weirding out the NPCs you come across, you can use this mechanic to manipulate relationships and interactions that can be swayed by different races.Ī downfall of the Undead is the fact that healing spells and potions will actually hurt your character but this segues into a couple unique benefits. The Face Ripper is a tool that you gain early in the game and when you use it and wear the face of a specific race, you will be perceived in the world as that race. Thankfully, you’ll gain the ability to rip the faces off of deceased elves, dwarves, humans, or lizards. With that said, it’s no surprise that NPCs will react and respond to you differently if they see that you’re an undead being just meandering around like everything is fine. Divinity’s world is dynamic and perceptive, ever aware of your character’s appearance and actions. There’s a reason you’ll have to go through an additional prompt if you choose to play the game with an undead lead character. Be Cautious When Choosing An Undead Character If you decide to make an undead Elf battlemage adept at thievery, it won’t be difficult at all to shape one of the characters you encounter into something that addresses your weaknesses in exploration or combat.
Knowing all this, create whatever you desire at the beginning of your experience. While some characters may end up not getting along with each other, this freedom to mold their class and abilities gives you the opportunity to develop a well-balanced team filled with the personalities you love. In Original Sin 2, the characters your recruit in-game give you a handful of dialogue choices once they decide to join you and you can shape them any way that you wish.
