More On: Divinity: Original Sin 2

First of all, I didn't even know Divinity: Original Sin 2 was on the Switch. I guess I missed Randy's post from September announcing that it was. The game released with free upgrades on the handheld console like a run/walk toggle and the Speak With Animals perk for all players, and the good times haven't ended there. These good times namely being Gift Bags, little bundles of freebies for all players. Well Gift Bag 3, Order & Magic, is now released - not just for Switch but for all platforms including PS4, Xbox One and PC - and in it you will find a slew of new features:

  • Pet Power - greatly enhances the summoning class and its infusion spells. With this feature, you can cast infusion spells on all available summons, not just your own Incarnate. Each summons receives different skills depending on the base elemental infusion type.
  • Combat Randomiser - When entering combat, one or more random enemies will receive one of the new special statuses created specially for this feature. Think you know how a particular fight is going to go down? Not any more! This will change everything you thought you knew about combat, with each battle presenting a fresh new challenge.
  • Nine Lives (Black Cat+) - Transforms the Black Cat into a follower. Once rescued, a whistle will appear in your inventory. You can use this if your cat gets lost or if you want to change who it follows.
  • Improved Organisation - Find a collection of special bags that allow you to better (and automatically) organise your inventory.
  • Sourcerous Sundries - In each major hub, you can now find a mysterious vendor selling exotic and potent artifacts. These artifacts can upgrade a character’s gear with immense power, bringing them up to the players' current level.
  • Hagglers - Tired of forgetting to switch to your 'haggling' character when talking to traders? Now the reputation and skill of your whole party can help you wrangle the best prices!

All contents of this Gift Bag are compatible with prior Gift Bags and accessible via the in-game menu. You can independently enable or disable any of the features you desire. Do note that once enabled, Gift Bag features will roll over between your saves on PC and Switch if you have cloud save enabled.
