Not really interested in min/maxing, I’d prefer to play the game naturally and just have fun with the characters and their abilities.
But I’d prefer not to have to restart fights several times because I’m getting stomped on. If it’s just a small hump I’m going through, I’ll stick with it. However if it’s only going to get worse because I spread myself too thin, maybe I should go back.
Playing on classic, btw.

^ Are they increasing party size or will Sir Lora be shut out once the definitive companions are chosen? Does the little guy come in at a certain point and leaves after, without any choice from the player? On the whole, this is pretty good. DOS 2 would be like a new game given that they're rewriting some parts and changing Act 3. Two good stuff to look forward to in August, this and the DLC for POE Deadfire.

Okay, the squirrel is riding an undead cat(?) called oak and wants to prevent the coming of the Great Acorn? What kind of drugs are they doing at Larian and can I have some? Also, the whole thing reminds me of his little guy here:

Sir Lora doesn't participate in combat, so I get the impression he's more like a mascot than a full-blown companion, though he does have his own storyline. So I figure you'd be able to have him on top of your four regular party members.

Quick question . I have yet to play this but now very intrigued
Saw a YouTube comment that parties should concentrate on magic or melee not both?
Without huge spoilers what are mistakes you made that you wish you hadn’t when it comes to building characters?
Does this play dramatically different from day baldurs gate type games?

Without huge spoilers what are mistakes you made that you wish you hadn’t when it comes to building characters? Does this play dramatically different from day baldurs gate type games? Played at release so memory is fuzzy but I had a mix of mage and melee and didn't have much issues on lower difficulty. There's a couple of spells you want to have , like teleport because it's so useful, but you can get items with spells. Combat, for me, was easier than Baldur's gate. But the end game puzzles and quests almost gave me an aneurysm. The worst about combat is it can drag, the end game battle took me several hours. If you're not a good player like me, some invocation are a godsend. Unless they were nerfed, there was a critter you can invoke and buff with blood spells that was dope. Also resurrection and healing scrolls are great. I also had an archer who could vanish and move around and rez/heal, and an invoquer who could play dead, invoke , play dead.

Each individual character should probably focus on one or the other, but an overall balanced party is probably best. In addition, certain types of spells work together for combos: water and Air (lightning), fire and poison, etc. You should probably have at least one character adept at Water magic, since that's where the best healing spells are. Teleportation abilities are darn near a "must have" since positioning is very important and enemies WILL try to outflank you and go after your squishier characters.

Yeah geomancy is probably one of his skills. Pyromancy is an obvious choice to go with it, but kinda on the nose.
Other recommendations I've seen have been Witchcraft and Summoning. Last time I played Ifan as an Inquisitor so dabbled a bit with Witchcraft, but never delved too deeply into it, and never really tried the Summoning skills...

Okay, so I need some advice seeing as I will soon finally be able to discuss the game with you: What kind of build/character should I go for? I'm a bit temped to play as an Inquisitor because well... you know. But I'm not sure it's for me. In the first one I liked playing an archer a lot, but I try to not make similar characters in a row. I really like magic, but my friend is probably going to play a pure mage. I heal a lot in other games, so don't really want something too focused on that.
Any ideas?

If I choose to start as say a Wizard, how much am I "locked" into this role? Let's say I discover we need something tankier, can I specialize myself more as a battle-mage instead?

If I choose to start as say a Wizard, how much am I "locked" into this role? Let's say I discover we need something tankier, can I specialize myself more as a battle-mage instead? You aren't. The game doesn't have a class system per-se, you are only soft-capped by the amount of XP you can get in the game, and by the maximum amount of points you can put into any single skill or attribute. Many builds rely on your character being good at a number of things, and builds that mix magic and melee are quite common. I'm so torn! I kinda love the idea of being an inquisitor, but I'm not sure their playstyle suits me - but if I still have similar freedom to choose like I had in DOS 1 then it wouldn't really be an issue. I would have loved to go pure mage, but my friend always does and it wouldn't be smart to have two of use locked into it. I'm tempted by the build of a battle-mage, but I'm not super-hyped about their aesthetics. And my heart is kinda longing to play a bow-archer (played crossbow archer last one). I can't decide between dwarf or elf - I love the body-eating thing, but they creep me out at the same time!

Another question, I'm going to be playing with my friend - if I get the game before him, can I make my character in advance somehow? He's boring and mostly use defaults, but I take hours customizing...

@tzeenchianapostrophe can we both make our custom characters separately and then have him join my game? He won't get access to the full game until tomorrow, just the first part, so we thought we both could make our characters in preparation.
