Though the situation may change with the release of Baldur’s Gate 3 , the closest one can get to having a full-fledged Dungeons & Dragons session on console is by playing **Divinity: Original Sin 2 ** . It is not just that it is a turn-based fantasy game – those are by no means uncommon on the latest console generation; Original Sin II fully captures some of the more niche and enjoyable traits from table-top RPG experiences. It adopts such staple TTRPG features as a broad range of abilities , endlessly customizable armor and attire, and a tone that carefully walks the line between high fantasy epic and goofball comedy (the natural endpoint for every Dungeons & Dragons campaign). It is especially impressive that the console port holds up against the PC original , maintaining the complexity with a suitably streamlined control structure. Digital D&D is a difficult goal by any measure, but Original Sin 2 manages to nail the feeling and fun, building on it with an incredible range of customization opti

When divvying out Attribute points, it is wise to initially prioritize Finesse and Constitution. Finesse is the governing ability of the Scoundrel skill tree, the central core abilities that make the Rogue effective, as well as boosting the damage on the lighter Finesse-based weapons that are best suited to the class. Constitution will be especially helpful to offset the lesser protection offered by light armor – while it should not be the key stat for the class, having a solid health pool to fall back on can buy the character enough time to get out of danger. Wits is also worth dropping a few points into to amplify the already impressive critical damage of the Rogues, as well as ensuring an early initiative positioning to keep mobile. Strength, while not exceptionally relevant, can be helpful to beef up for some expanded carry capacity and the ability to get some heavier weapons.

Some, though, prefer to mix it up, to strike from the shadows, and leap back into the dark as soon as the damage is done, keeping the enemy ever on their toes. This is the art of the rogue, the stealthy, sharp striker class that excels at both damage dealing and unmatched mobility. This guide aims to help players create their perfect backstabber, giving the tips and tricks for playing a rogue in Divinity: Original Sin
