A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition

I had bought this on GOG a couple years ago and had intended on getting back to it, it has taken me a few hours to wrap my head around what this game actually is as I was trying to complete all the quest for the first main area Fort Joy, but after watching Divinity: Original Sin 2 is an RPG Lover's Dream by Ghostcharm it's clicked and I am trying to be more open to not winning every situation as if it was a more genuine adventure.

With a 93/100 on OpenCritic for the original release, PCGamer had this to say;

Playing Divinity: Original Sin 2 is uncannily like playing a tabletop RPG. The way that Larian’s sequel embraces player creativity immediately conjures up memories of days spent sitting around a table, asking the Dungeon Master if I can attempt the last stupid idea that floated into my head. And like a good DM, Original Sin 2 usually answers that question with “Yes, you can attempt it.”

My only regret is that I got it on GOG as it was cheaper, which has made mods less friendly without the Steam Workshop, but it was a lot cheaper at the time and hasn't gone below $15.74 on Steam since.

Does it have a local co-op mode? Like can my SO and I play on the same machine at the same time if we have appropriate controls? Or would we need to get 2 copies and play on our respective machines together?

The Steam version does say it has local co-op, although I've never tried it.

Yes, it has local co-op.
