Upon initially hearing the news, I wondered what kind of cuts were necessary to get it running on the platform, like if it would be another Doom situation. So color me surprised when Larian Studios announced the release of Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition for Nintendo Switch last week. I'm glad someone wants them, but they've cut too much. They're a technical achievement, but games like Doom or Wolfenstein 2 are a bridge too far in visual compromise. Again, for this one to work, you’ll need to install another mod too - in this case, Helaene - Shared Library, which is required to run all of creator Helaene’s class mods.I'm not willing to give up all the visual fidelity though, and the Switch can only do so much.
Weirdly, you can even impale your enemies with wooden stakes, which must feel pretty cathartic for your average bloodsucker. Just make sure you grab OdinCore - Mod Services too and set it to load first - this package is required to run the Spectre, as well as creator Odinblade’s many other excellent class mods.Īnd if that’s not sinister enough for you, why not try the Vampire? This class’s gorily creative spells will turn you into a walking horror movie, letting you summon swarms of bats, hypnotise foes, vomit up torrents of cursed blood, and more. And it even introduces a new weapon type to the game, scythes, for the complete Grim Reaper experience. If you fancy a walk on the dark side, it’s the perfect pick - when your main source of damage is stacking ‘Agony’ on foes, you know you’re not one of the goodies. One of our favourites is the Spectre, a soul-draining wizard who cripples foes with dark curses and damage-over-time effects.
These can really make your latest playthrough feel fresh, by introducing a suite of custom spells, abilities, and mechanics to either dedicate your character to, or mix and match with other builds.
One of the coolest things mods can add to the game is whole new classes.
