Instead of being limited to being human, Divinity: Original Sin II gives the player the option to also be an elf, dwarf, lizard, or undead, though that last one which is personally the most interesting option is not presently available in the Early Access build. There are also optional origin stories that the player can use for their character, four are currently available but more will be included in the final release.

The game is a near-perfect execution of a top-down, D&D-style RPG with turn-based combat. Though its predecessor was great, this game is excellent. But it remains new to many people and there are some key updates for the Definitive Edition worth noting before you dive i

This is actually something that people consider to be an issue when it comes to this character, but there's no denying that even Beast's simple and straightforward story ends up being a joy to uncover because of the incredibly strong writing present in Divinity: Original Sin 2 .
