Divinity: Original Sin - Jahan

Description

Been playing Divinity: Original Sin with wez for the last little while. gotta say, I really like it. for those who don't want to read my rant on how great this game is, the dude I painted is Jahan, some booky wizardy mage. Cool dude. Total bro.

Highlights are as follows:

Explode spell: damage in an AOE to yourself and everything else. Yes please! As a wizard I will always take the opportunity to use magic to destroy my life and the lives of everyone around me!

I love Jahan. mostly because he's a wizard and a hypocrite and he hates demons so much I can't buy him a respec from the demon respec NPC. 10/10 flavour.

"hey wez can we deal with the undead problem?"
"wait! i just found a talking head, whoa it wants us to reunite it with it's body! okay, so I need you to come over here and distract these NPCs while I steal this head"

"hey wez, I ran into cultists three levels higher than me, can you come over here and help me fight them?"
"Wait, the cat in the bar has the hots for the mayors cat. we need to go find this diamond collar so she thinks he's rich and they can hook up."

okay. that was all the really cool stuff, now I'm just going to talk about the combat system for a bit.
What really shines in Divnity is the combat system, friendly fire is on, which is always an increase in difficulty I welcome, especially with the veritable mountain of AOE spells. I'm not usually one for turn based games, favoring more action oriented systems like Dark Souls, Kingdoms of Amalur, Dragon Age & The Witcher, but it's actually quite enjoyable, it ditches the cumbersome mana system in favor of an action points thing (like Wakfu, but less complicated) not every class can do everything, so you're forced to diversify, the spells are all pretty unique and do some really interesting things, (the teleport is by far my favorite, makes for some really interesting combat scenerios as well as some awesome out of combat cheesing paths). of course there's still the 'disabling touch attack' in all the schools but everything feels really... good.
ahh, been a while since I enjoyed something this much.
feels good man...
feels good.

Well done!
I'm always happy to see some love for Divinity: Original Sin, because the game's fandom is pretty much nonexistent.

I don't use Jahan that often though, because my one of my heroes is a mage already.
Still, I love the few interactions he has with my heroes, mostly because they argue a lot.
