See, there’s a second part to the puzzle that the game doesn’t make obvious to you – The Divinity 2 Engine (hence forth referred to as Editor). Kinda wanted broken furniture for this ruined house level, but I guess I can settle for scattering blood everywhere. So if you have this sweeping campaign idea with new, well, everythings’, then you’re a bit out of luck. You also cannot create new monsters or characters, you can only use the ones provided.
You cannot create new maps, you can only use the selection provided. In addition to all this, the GM mode is very limited in what you can create. Only a GM can launch a GM mode game, therefore one will always be present. GM mode is not for solo adventures, and in fact the Game Master is not even optional. GM stands for Game Master, and the GM mode is for when you want a highly curated adventure, much like a tradition tabletop game. So let us start off with what GM mode is and isn’t. What to do, however, once your done with the campaign? Well, how about run your own game for a group of friends? Enter the GM mode, which enables you to do precisely that! So Divinity: Original Sin 2 is mighty fine game.
