With a controller, that's more difficult, so Larian found an elegant solution. On PC, you're using a mouse, so you can click directly on objects to select them. The studio added things like a visual indicator and list of interactable objects. This was actually already present in the base version of Divinity: Original Sin 2, with Larian learning a great deal from the release of Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition on consoles.

According to the developer, experience and gold gain has been boosted to prevent a vicious ramp in difficulty leading into the third act of the story campaign. There's a new tutorial at the beginning of the game, adding a new deck on the starting ship so players have more time to learn the game's mechanics before being pushed out into Fort Joy. Larian also smoothed out the game's pacing a bit in terms of difficulty. You can switch difficulty at any point in the game. If you want to engage more with the excellent story and dialog in Original Sin 2, Story Mode is the option for you. Fleeing in Story Mode is now free instead of being a skill check and Resurrection no longer requires a scroll. Story Mode makes the fights easier overall, so you can focus on Larian's writing. Story Mode drastically scales back on the combat encounters the base game offered a great deal of choice in terms how you approach combat encounters, but this also means there are a thousand ways to fail. There's a new difficulty mode below Explorer Mode, which was previously the easiest mode in the game. First up, the studio sanded off some of the rougher edges of the PC release. Larian Studios has made a host of changes to the Definitive Edition, but let's just cover the ones that matter to new players. If you've never played either, you're in for a treat.

If you played the first game on consoles, guess what? Original Sin 2 is a much better game than the original. If you've played Divinity: Original Sin 2 on PC, you're in luck: the Definitive Edition tweaks are all coming to the PC in a free update. *Editor-in-Chief shakes head* Oh, I have to keep going? Fine. It's been great setting you folks straight. So should you pick up Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition? Hell yes, it was one of the best computer role-playing games released last year and if you haven't played it, you need to. It's not a full remaster, but Larian is making sure the game ships to console players in the best state possible.

Larian Studios has gone back and optimized the game's graphics, improved the interface for controller play, added a new difficulty mode, and even tightened up the story content in the final act of the game. Tomorrow, Divinity: Original Sin 2 will come to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 with the all-new Definitive Edition release.
