What are some other games that offer the freedom to use ridiculous strategies that I should consider playing?
I'm going to continue this run for sure, but I also like to take breaks from games and come back to them so having some other options would be nice!
Divinity is in a class of its own, if ya find more games like it I'd love to see um
There are fun ways to exploit systems in the elder scrolls and Fallout games
I would look into Morrowind and Oblivion. Those are some games with some ridiculous stuff you can do with magic, potions, etc.
If you want a more niche option look at a game like Darkest Dungeon, and perhaps you could take a look at the new DD 2 although I don't know if it has the same cheese as the first game.
The dishonored series is also fun, using bottles to fight and cheesing enemies with rat swarms and other powers. Dishonored 2 is incredibly fun when you play a "plague build" that summons tons of blood flies when you essentially do anything.
@@amygirl9500 true but the guy died when he moved
Not exactly ridiculous strategies, but the game itself is super weird and funny. Disco Elysium. I would suggest playing that in your own time. Baldur’s Gate 3 is also amazing. Definitely close to Divinity. Still in Early Access, but a lot to do.
I am.. Even more impressed that the game takes that into account
Killing guys you aren't supposed to be able to do.
Actually is rewarded by them not spawning later
THat is amazing
Eh, kinda, yeah.
I killed every single person on the original ship that got you to Fort Hope, "accidentally" shooting the children too who were talking to Lohse.
The children pretended that it didn't happen, and asked me to go below deck to save the people (they're all dead) which I did, killing Voidwoken.
I got to the island and they were all alive. Even commented on me not going back down to save them, since the children decided to tell them that I was a coward.
But other than that, yeah continuity's pretty damn good in the game.
It's always fun to see new strategies for pickpocketing. If anyone wants to pickpocket someone, but doesn't want to use the gift bag and isn't confident they can pickpocket under time pressure, there's a third method that gives you as much time as you want.
First, initiate conversation with a vendor. Then, swap to another character. Teleport away the character in conversation with the vendor. The vendor will run over to the teleported character to chastise them for teleporting away mid-conversation. Talk to them while they're away from their post and they'll stay there as long as you like. This lets you move them to a more secluded area where you can sneak without invisibility.
Oooh that's a fun one, I had no idea that worked! Nice tip :)
you could also lock in the other npcs that watches the area in dialog. they will turn to the character initiating dialog
@@bullzebubi used this strat to pick pocketet all friendly NPCs in all maps. Sometimes i moved a few boxes in the way to block line of sight from one npc.
Or, slaughter the entire town. Yknow, like a sociopath. RIP citizens of driftwood.
watching these vids make me realise how little i actually experimented around. makes me want to play the game again and mess around myself.
It's been really fun to just experiment, I highly recommend it! When I play with friends I don't do this kinda stuff because it kinda throws off the role playing vibe of the game if your enemies never stand a chance in any fight
@@Fracture.Gaming watching these vid's has been boosting my hopes for BG3 just thinking of all the crazy fun they can add to that game too.
The carpet/indestructible crate blocking is super effective. Saved my in many fights.
He never saw it coming, lmao
@@Fracture.Gaming never sew it coming
@@zdogadnytsya lmao A++++
Fracture: "it might not surprise you to know Fane was carrying a idol of rebirth"
Me: "saw that coming"
Fracture: "it might also not surprise you to know Fane has a SECOND idol of rebirth"
Me: "nani!?!"
If only I had a third one...
The GOAT has returned to bless us with divinity once more
This might be the first time somebody has called me the GOAT, thanks so much :D
People really like goats these days, which is fair, goats are cool 🐐
i don’t have pet pal so i have to turn on subtitles
They way I pickpocketed driftwood merchants was using terrain transmute on a puddle of poison created by poison dart and teleporting the poison beneath the non-merchants with eyes everywhere. It takes a couple of mins to kill each one as they walk out of the poison but you just keep teleporting it under them and they eventually die. It also puts an end to that insufferable "it smells worse in here than a dozen rotten eggs dropped in a vat of vinegar" lol. Then the usual split party and distract other merchants whilst you pickpocket the remaining one trick.
During my honor mode run I used some cheesy strategies myself. My personal favorite was how I killed Adramahlihk. I gathered every oil barrel, poison barrel, and normal un-elemental barrel in the game leading up too it and filled every normal barrel I could with oil from the oil pump in act 2. Put them all in a chest and dropped it at his feet, left one character outside the fight and detonated it. Was one of the most fun and satisfying things I've ever done in a video game. Especially since my first every play though that demon bastard killed me probably 50-60 times before I beat him.
ooooh that sounds amazing. I actually had no idea you could load barrels into a chest and blow them all up like that! I might have to borrow that idea.... the special delivery execution
@@Fracture.Gaming oh go for it, its a special feeling when you detonate that first chest.
17:24 this voidwoken is actually not a part of the following ambush. You can kill it for additional exp but you need to be precise because it won't start the fight.
Oooh interesting. I wonder if this voidwoken is a specific one that appears in the tunnels below, or if it is a completely bonus voidwoken that you can get for exp only if you're quick enough
Your approach to the last fight was unexpected, you lern something new every day. Nice vid all in all, can’t wait for the next.
Also I can’t believe you called out some pour npc for being annoying, while sparing „smells worse then a dozen rotten eggs“
Well maybe a certain smelly NPC is gonna die in the next video, who knows? ;)
@@Fracture.Gaming can’t wait
I watched the first video and found your channel last week. Very cool
You're cool
I did yesterday and was already waiting for this part 2
@@fricopolenta7863 Oof, now you have to wait until ???? when I finish Driftwood's part 2 video
@@Fracture.Gaming I'm waiting to see some Terrain Swap shenanigans. I remember oneshotting everything with lava in Act III.
What pure perfection have I just stumbled across. I must watch the previous episode.
Nice vídeos!
Keep the good work, really loving watching this series.
Thanks! This one took longer than I had hoped to finish, but I'll definitely be continuing the series!
This is really good content. I was hoping you'd do a part 2 and you actually did. Thank you, this was greatly entertaining and I am hoping you'll continue with this! Great work, well executed, wasn't dragged out too long and was great throughout. Well done! :)
Thanks so much!! I'm just getting started with UA-cam, but its been really fun so far, and I'll definitely continue this run to AT LEAST the end of act 2. After that no promises because I've never played ANY of act 3 or 4 and don't know ANYTHING about them (I avoid spoilers) so going into it in honor mode sounds terrifying
Absolutely love these videos so far and can’t wait to see how it progresses! The potion strat is hilarious and funnily enough is one of the only exploits I used in my own honour mode playthrough I did (except with soul mate on an undead target). Speaking of, that was on the flaming witch in this act, which I’m excited to see how you handle cause that fight is always a pain in the butt for me. It’ll be nice to see her get bullied a bit lol.
My goal is for her to be dead before she has a chance to realize she's been bullied
Great series! Can't wait to see some of the later game fights.
Me too, literally have never made it to late game, lol
Yooooo I was waiting for this video so much, nice
Thanks!!
been waiting this video. Truly amazing and smart
Thanks!!
I've been waiting for this!
I'm happy to hear it :)
this is truly insane ! it must have taken a long time to find all these strategies. I always loved this game, but you are making it even better ( and funnier lol )
I'm glad you liked it! It's been fun coming up with wacky strategies
This is fantastic! Like i said before, I'm doing my first honor run so this is super helpful.
I use all the dirty tricks :D plus you can get some amazing tips I didn't think to use from other people's comments too!
Been waiting for this video, another banger, i hope this one brings the same or more success the first did for you bro, keep it up
Thanks! I'm glad so many people have been enjoying these videos :)
Yaaas this was amazing, thank you!!!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)
Yooo been looking forward to this video, keep up the great work mate
Thanks so much, will do :D
Driftwood part 2?
Really looking forward to see you come up with even more ridiculous strategies
It'll happen, probably will take longer than you'd like though tbh :/ I'm still experimenting around on UA-cam and have a "i played 100 days" video I'm finishing up before I start filming for divinity driftwood part 2
I am actually pleasantly surprised with these videos.
First time seeing your channel
Really expected everything to just be exploiting Barrels or walls. But these are all clever, unique, and hilarious exploits
Thanks! Glad you liked it :)
Woo this is what i have been waiting for
Woohoo :D
These are awesome keep ‘em coming ❤❤❤
I will! Although I'll admit that I get burnt out if I play the same game too much so I've been spacing the run out, sorry :P
please do more dude! im amazed by the options you have unlocked for me to win this game on honour mode :O
I have one video I'll hopefully finish editing today, and then I'm going to start working on the rest of act 2 for Divinity!
Having just discovered your channel through your first Divinity video, I'm happy to see another already
Yay, although don’t hold your breath waiting for the next one, I have a few projects I’m working on first :/ I’ll get there though!
@@Fracture.Gaming I did marathon your Hogwarts Legacy videos so I definitely enjoy your style more than any one game you play. Looking forward to whatever else you got in store for us
What an amazing video. Learned so many fancy tricks in this one. 5Head gameplay right here.
glad you liked it :)
your videos are very entertaining and well structured :)
Thank you! I work hard on them so that’s nice to hear :)
Well, I'll never look at Malady the same way again.
Yeah those parts all clumped together were too good...
i watched the last one of these and started another playthrough of this ^^ this game has so many different flavours of cheese its so fun to try and find as many as possible.
I think whenever I finish this run, I might try adding a bunch of custom classes with mods and do the run again with all the crazy modded classes people have made!
The mod support Larian Studios have is amazing and I wish it was the norm for developers to support their modders fully.
I've been waiting for this, let's go!
I used to teleport NPCs away which will put them into dialog with one character and then pickpocket them with a different one. Though this decreases your reputation with them and you can only do this so often before the entire town wants to murder you.
Without the gift bag, that gives way more time to pickpocket than the blessed smoke trick!
Very cool. I spent many hours in this game, but I see a lot for the first time. I hope to see the rest of the passage in the same spirit.
I'll definitely finish act 2 out, after that no promises. I've never played any of act 3 or 4 and have avoided spoilers for them too, so going into it for the first time in honor mode sounds scary
Ive played this game so many times and yet I feel like theirs *still* so much to discover about it. Best RPG of all time hands down
it really is so good. Ima wait for full release on Baldur's Gate 3, but I really hope it meets or exceeds Divinity... that would just be amazing
This series is too good, keep doing it :)
I'm committed to finishing act 2 for sure! After that I'll need to think about it because my group of friends hasn't started act 3 yet and I wanna go into it blind w/ them
I remember the last vid, happy to see another upload. It's wild ad hoc some of your tactics are and how you still pull through in the fights. You clearly know the game mechanics well, and DOS2 is a complex game. Looking forward to the next one m8
Thanks! Yeah I really like testing game mechanics to learn how everything works, and Divinity is cool because it'll still surprise me all the time!
Great video!
Thanks!
First video was awesome and made me subscribe immediately. Second one lived up to the first
Yay! So happy to hear that :)
I'd love to see the rest of the game like this, if such a thing is even possible.
I'm not ashamed to admit I have 15 pages of word document ideas for cheesing fights
I've completed the game a couple of times but didn't know the first voidwoken fight in the cave was winnable. I thought the bugs just infinitely crawl out of the ground until all your party members are obducted.
This is the first time I've beaten them, lol. Infinite bugs would have been a fun challenge too though, just to see how many I could take out before running out of steam.
@@Fracture.Gaming I think I managed to kill some of the voidwoken but a new one always crawled out. At least that's what I presume has happened, because each time one party member is enwebbed, one voidwoken vanishes underground with it. And I don't recall one of my party members staying in the upper part of the cave after the fight. On the other hand, if they did spawned indefinitely, someone would surely exploit it as an xp farm by now.
@@SereglothIV Honestly that was my first thought... infinite exp. They'd have to make it so only the first 4 give exp if it was infinite
Holy shit, this vídeo cured my sadness !!!
Awesome my dude !!!
Haha thanks so much! I told my wife about your comment and she loved it so much she said I should frame it, lol
@@Fracture.Gaming I would be honored !!!
Big Hug for your family my friend !!
Brilliant, as we expected.
You're too kind
Wow. What a great video. What a cool guy. Never played the game but don't care. Fracture is the best.
Oh my, how very kind of you to say! Even though I probably bankrupted the economy of Driftwood with all my pickpocketing. Not very good for the local financial markets.
Yes!!! I just watched the first one! This is going to be so sick!
I just finished itI would love to see you finish out the game like this! It's so fun to watch!
Thanks for watching, it makes me happy that people are enjoying these!
Really good video!!😊
Thank you :)
YAY!! New video
YAY, thanks for watching :)
man, some pretty genius strats... i'm impressed
thanks!
You can deal with scarecrows quite easily, by chain-teleporting them to a nearby paladin’s camp.
For the fine work you do and for how much I love the concept of those videos I am fine with such a clickbait thumbnail !
Plus, the tactics that you use are amazing
Ima do a different character with no clothes in every thumbnail I think. Idk how I’m gonna make Fane with no clothes seem appealing though…. Maybe use his mask to shape shift into an elf or something?
I was waiting for this 😊 bless you dude
Bless you too
This content is awesome!
I'm very happy you enjoyed it :D
15:30 dude was probably undead and therefore not affected by deathfog (like Fane)
hope you finish the game!
I'll at least finish act 2. After that I'm undecided because I want my first time playing acts 3 and 4 to be with friends. Trying to get the group back together to clear it out this summer!
When Sebille walked into the terrify aura concealed and didn't run away, it was obvious that she was petrified...
Lol
amazing videos :)
thanks :)
I've played through the game three full times and through acts 1 and 2 even more than that and I never knew Mordus turned into that monster since I have always killed him first. Neat.
2 days ago I watched part 1, checked the channel for part 2, and got sad seeing it had been 2 months and assumed part 2 was not coming. crazy weird timing lmao
Oooh yeah you lucky. My initial youtube video making binge burnt me out a bit, I got too excited about it all and ended up needing a big break. Hopefully I'll pace myself better now though, lol
The Return of the King.
You're too kind 😊
I always pass the persuasion check to spawn voidwoken and then betray The Advocate mid combat, but it would be cool to see you win just by buffing the voidwoken then escaping the fight
I've never even gotten to The Advocate before, but that sounds like a fun strat
You can also craft potion of strong will with fire essence and bottles.
Immune to Terrify for a couple turns
You know, I have a memory of a friend using it and it having no effect against the scarecrow. But I'm realizing just now the reason is because he was running glass cannon. But because of that memory I didn't even consider using it, thanks for the tip!!
Why would glass cannon disable the potion effect?
@@Lukashoffmann94 Because the talent says that you will be affected by statuses regardless of your stats. But I agree it's weird we're not using an armor type it's just an immunity
@@DatCrazyOokamii Does it really work like that?
The talent only mentions your armor not bocking any cc and nothing about general immmunities.
@@Lukashoffmann94 yeah that's why we find it weird. I guess the game considers immunity to damage types differently and immunity to cc is stuck on the same bracket even when it's a potion effect
Now I see why you didn’t cheese the Dallas act 1 fight with deathfog. You were saving it for the driftwood arena!
Gotta bring it out where it isn't expected :)
"Hear ye, hear ye" FUCK I hated this guy! His line was engraved into my mind when I was purchasing stuff there
Yeah that guy brought it on himself
You may already know this, but in case you do not.. for that fight with Dallis on the lady vengeance, you can teleport her and PROBABLY all of the enemies behind one of the mounted ballista on the edge of the ship, and once everyone is in that position, activating the ballista should kill every enemy beside it in one shot. I'm not 100% positive if it's an AoE attack as I've never tried lining up every enemy but I imagine it probably is. Easy way to cheese that fight in only one single turn.
I have seen a youtube video for it, and it looked amazing! I decided to go with popping below deck and coming back up because it was actually one of the first major cheeses I found in Divinity when playing through it for my first time. It felt appropriate to use it in the video for that reason alone.
i have more then 300 hours in this game and never new Mordus could transform, i always focused him first lmao
You have good target prio, lol. I imagine he’d be tough to beat if I didn’t use any dirty tricks. Though chain cc would probably be most of the fight.
@@Fracture.Gaming I always use any kind of combination with low health and death wish it's disgustingly broken. Never fought him "normal" :D
I was suprised too
Oh it's already here! Lucky me 😂
Lucky indeed!
FINNALY LETS GOOOOOO
OH YEAH
Absolute banger!
Keeping it together Bree?
lmao, thanks for watching :D
Oh boy, I hope he'll be able to keep his shining lights intact.
My cheese reserves run deep, and my enthusiasm is endless!
Okay maybe not endless, but I do a good job of taking breaks when I need them so that I only play when I have full enthusiasm :)
@@Fracture.Gaming Good to hear you're not overworking yourself, thanks for making great content.
Spiffing Brit: Game is perfectly balanced!
Never even knew about the blessed smoke. I might need to run another game
yeah it's pretty op honestly, lets you set up perfectly for basically any fight, ambush or not
IT IS HERE
!!! yeah :)
YOOOOOo, the first video was so nice, he had to do it twice
:D
The last video and now this one are really tempting me to get back into DOS2. I made it to Chapter 4 with a friend before we stopped playing... but maybe I'll try a solo run. And maybe try to be a bit more creative instead of trying to rely on regular combat.
Just my opinion, but for solo play I think 2 characters with lone wolf is more enjoyable than 4. Less busy work of hunting down gear and skill books, more fighting and questing.
@@Fracture.Gaming That's a good point. When I did my co-op run, we each had 2 characters, since I found 4 hard to manage on my own. I hadn't though of doing a 2-character solo run, but maybe that'll be a lot more enjoyable.
Braccus Rex meteor is a thing since divinity original sin 1
Keeping it together, Bree?
Never thought of using shackle of pain and a healing potion as an undead to kill something, but now....
I will watch it later ok bro
I love this
yay :)
0:13 I thought you said "Captain Sex Haver" and I was like oh shit I should install this game again.
There's probably a mod for that
NOw i really wonder how the djinn fight is going to be because the mordus fight is the exact method technically
Idk if you watched the next one yet, but the Djinn fight was extremely chaotic :)
Yes, divinity, nice
😄 Glad you liked it!
Cant wait to see how will you deal with Alice Alisceon
Will it be old trick with soulmate and healing potions?
Nope! I’ve actually never fought her before, but I do have a full plan in mind that I THINK should destroy her. If it ends up going according to plan, that fight will only be in the video for like 30-60 seconds…
@@Fracture.Gaming DAMN
Ok(i remember how i spent like 2-3 hours to defeat her)
Alice and the sallow man are the two characters I've always cheesed and will always cheese. I'm excited to see what he will use with Alice, there are so many ways but the fact that he can't use the same exploit twice makes it unpredictable.
There are so many enemies in this chapter, you're going to run out of cheese before long. Maybe chill with the optional encounters
I have most of the remaining fights planned out already :) Plenty of cheese to go around
The guy who wouldn't die in the death fog was probably an undead
I checked his card to look for undead but didn't see it, but maybe the game assumes you can see how clearly undead it is, lol
Never knew Mordus has a second form, i just soulmate him and drink a big ass potion everytime.
I hated that scarecrow fight. I ended up just mass healing them to death after the 5th try.
i would like to play DOS 2 with you :D
The forbidden Kool-Aid!
that Deathfog shit happened to me before, guy jumped in DEAD CENTER OF THE FOG and hit my undead, wtf then he dtook a step and died it was annoyingg
Yeah I was about to lose it.
They took out the carpet 🙏😭🙏😭
What is that yellow looking skill in the 1 slot of your characters? I have looked through the wiki but I can't find which skill it is and its driving me crazy
It’s just basic attack. It attacks with whatever weapon I have equipped.
@@Fracture.Gaming Ah, makes sense, thank you for the quick reply.
hoooray!!!!!!!
huzzah!!!!!!
Do a barrelmancy run dude
I have a probably unrealistic goal of getting the spiffing Brit’s attention to plan a Baldurs Gate 3 collab when it full releases. Maybe some barrelmancy to rival his video would do the trick…
how did you get the spells so early?
Which ones? Some spells I got by combining skill books, otherwise I pickpocketed almost every other skill book my characters have.
This fight does not give experience though as claimed... 4 Relics of rivellon gives little exp if any. The main idea is to get strong gear.
pretty sure red prince is immune to fire damage off the get go as a racial
Not fully immune, just had some extra resistance. I don’t remember how much, maybe 15%?
Infinite money pouch still works, though your now off of fort joy
I actually don't know about this one. Is it a specific pouch or something?
