Divinity Original Sin 2 Is A Perfectly Balanced Game With No Exploits - TELEKINESIS ONLY CHALLENGE 

"It's DnD, but for people even more antisocial than regular DnD players" Now you are speaking my language!

"So technically, this is self-defense" *Proceeds to launch a chest witht the weight of a neutron star at someone 5 meters away armed with 2 knives*

Man... This REALLY puts into perspective how absolutely SHITE telekinesis in Skyrim is...

normally the weight of objects moved through telekinesis bears down directly on the users mind, this however wasn't a problem for Boni-wan who had no mind.

He wasn't lying when he said "If you strike me down I'll become more powerful than you can imagine"

"local lich murders entire town with his pet mimic"

"it's dnd for people even more antisocial than regular dnd players" ...I feel called out

Everyone is smiling and laughing until an enemy has a damage reflection and one shots you

Friendly reminder that if you’re holding a knife, your glorious golden chest of doom can benefit from guaranteed backstab criticals!

Murders entire town, laughing all the while... accidentally kills one dog as collateral damage, "I'm sorry little one" and a single tear.

For the unknowingly folks: Barrelmancer is a legit play style in DOS2

I just watched a guy put boxes inside boxes for 34 mins and laughed the whole time

Later: "How did you survive the raging mass murderer Lovrik?!" "I sold him some tea..."

That feeling when your 60 hours in this game just got called a tutorial.

When he said "If you strike me down I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine." he really wasn't kidding!

It would be hilarious if the game balanced this by having other characters that also used telekinesis and could use your chest against you

I'm casting my vote for... option A - more Divinity Original Sin 2!

I like to think that spiff has hidden himself inside the stock images and it's our job to find him.

Just wanted to say that after watching your vid, me and my friend decided to buy the game and do a playthrough of it together. We just finished the game now, 85 hours in, it is by far the most fun we've ever had in any rpg we've played. Thanks, Spiff.

"It's only 10 weight but unlike all items in the game it has no health but also has weight and can be moved around meaning IT IS A WEAPON"

Spiffing Brit: *uploads a video* The game studio that made that game: there's a great disturbance in the force.. someone has destroyed the very balance of my game..

The devs not only have known about this since the first game, but they're also adding that feature in the board game. Imagine what a crazy ride baldur's gate 3 is gonna be.

"What's so scary about this golden chest?" "Well you see, it weighs as much as your mom." *Critical Hit*

Congratulations, you basically made a character that could fit right into any Terry Pratchett story.

Spiff: Names the character Boni- Wan Kenobi. Me: A suprise to be sure but a welcomed one.

"Boni-Wan Kenobi... I wonder if he's related to Old Bone."

Well, I might as well add a few things to this: 1: Lone wolf allows you one companion (that can also have Lone Wolf) 2: You can use said companion as a storage for moving the chest around without lobbing it everywhere, since inventory is shared(make sure you put it in your inventory before dropping it on the ground, as dropping an item from one character's inventory makes that character try to drop it). 3: you should consider getting chameleon skin for the same reason you'd use play dead(Poly also lets you get more wit, 2 because lone wolf, which translates to more crit chance). 4: First chapter, in the tutorial ship, after the big bang, you can find Deathfog barrels, if you're fast enough you can pick 2 up with any character safely(you'll need either very high strength, or get uncomfortably close with telekinesis, if you can't manage to pick up 2, using an undead will let you pick up one safely. Deathfog is great to cheese a certain fight with a certain hammer ... for a certain hammer.... early on. 5: for those not using the skip chapter 1 mod, there are multiple ornate chests that should have similar functionality as the gold chest in and/or near fort joy. two come to mind, both accessed by teleporting them to you, first one is near where you meet Fane, in the small secret area that has the vines to go to the turtles, follow the wall the vines are attached to and you'll find a rainbow if you look at the cliff-side, a chest is at its bottom, second one in the frog area, behind where the shock frog spawns. 6: You can almost instantly escape fort joy in the beginning by simply getting close to the ladder behind the necromancy vendor (near the arena) and having 2 characters, first you kill one character, second you use res scroll with the other and, since for SOME reason devs thought res scrolls should work like teleports and not revive you in place, teleport your dead character to over next to the ladder, the rest is one lockpick (or a generous application of weaponry to door) and some sneaking around unmoving enemies. *warning: setting foot outside fort joy instantly marks all magisters present in fort joy as aggressive* 7:You can have a character that is talking to an NPC teleported away by another char, and the NPC will walk up to the person they were talking to and try to continue the conversation, useful to change conversation outcomes before a fight starts (when you know "end" will trigger a fight you're not ready for), or get a pesky merchant out of town for some good ol' fashion thiefin' 8: Combine nails with any shoes to add the enchant: immunity to slipping. 9: Game allows for multiple instances of itself to run, allowing you to create a "multiplayer" game on LAN, connect to yourself and trigger character creation for 2 characters instead of 1 at the start of the game. Do note that this kind of character creation makes two MAIN characters, not recruited characters (that sometimes ask to step in on conversations)

He did it. The madman actually weaponised a bag of holding. Every DM fears the day when a player realised that an item with infinite carry space can maaaaaaaaaybe be exploited

For everyone trying this, in fort joy, near Migo on the beach, there's a hidden cave, in there is a healthless ornate chest. So you can start this much earlier on. Before getting to driftwood.

“What kinda build do you play?” “YeetPS”

According to my calculations, the chest, when first loaded with bagpacks, has the density of a pure uranium cube (one of the densest metals) and towards the end comes close to the density of the center of the sun (about 150 times the density of water, by comparing with the water barrel). Not quite the density of neutron star/black hole, but quite stupidly dense nonetheless. BTW all kinds of things happens at this density, including nuclear fusion. That means the chest should be a big radiating ball of plasma at this point and it should burn everything around it (and maybe also explode) in a radius a few kilometers. No wonder it does so much damage.

“I’m going to skip the tutorial” *skips the entirety of fort joy and all of the reaper’s eye content*

Barrelmancy, the favoured game mode of Reanu Keeves.

A Human (undead) Conjuror with an indestructible, violent, infinite capacity piece of Luggage... Congratulations, Spiff, you've just turned Divinity into Discworld.

Spiff killing 100s of NPCs: maniacal laughter Spiff kills 1 doggo: Oh no what have I done

This is actually super efficient. I mean, if you get a spell that lets you move infinite mass, you can apply infinite force. So, as an adventurer, you get to indulge your hoarding instincts and have them directly aid you in your damage as you utterly obliterate enemies under the unfathomable weight of your condensed pile of valuables and rubbish.

"TELEKINESIS ONLY CHALLENGE" **throws grenade with hand**

"Who goes there?!" "Oh, it's just a courier delivering a chest..." "Wait, what's he doin-"

Recently bought the game, and tried out this strat. A few things, it's still majorly OP, and two, you don't need a chest, the backpack you start out with works just as well, the hitbox doesn't seem to grow just because the chest is used over the backpack.

*Clicks on new Spiff vid* "Local Undead Jedi yeets black hole at every NPC" Me- Seems legit

Actually, there is another chest that is in the tutorial level. The chest surrounded by screaming heads has no health so if you start early you can add in all of the barrels around Fort Joy. Furthermore, with Lone Wolf you can have ONE additional party member. This is helpful as you can have them sit on the Lady Vengeance and hold onto the chest- simply having them send it to your character without needing to drag it around everywhere. Hi, I've played way too much Divinity lol

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

Watched this. Played like this through the game on the hardest difficulty. Realized you can BACKSTAB CRIT if you have knife in your hand while throwing the box around. It was stupid. We proceeded to use the 100lb portrait of Alexander to fight him. It was a Dorian Gray situation, with a twist. Absolutely fantastic. Also, I should note that there are like 3 immortal chests floating around Fort Joy.

It’d be hilarious if when you attempted to pick up the chest and put it in your inventory, your spine just snaps in half from attempting to carry a singularity in your pocket

DM: "Alright, so what you wanna play as." Me: "A telekinetic undead..." DM: "Ah-huh." Me: "...with a pet black hole." DM: "Ah-huh... wait, holup, with a what!?"

“The tutorial is 4-5 hours long” *stares at the 15 hours I put into it*

I love how slowly you reveal your strategy. Every new layer has me wheezing.

I recommend having 1 other person on your party, I chose Sabille because she cool. The lone wolf perk still works as long as you are not moving together. (basically just unconnected portraits in the top left) This means you can transport your heavy chest into the inventory of the teammate not doing anything the entire game (preferable on the ship) and then when you need it just teleport it back to your inventory before combat. it makes running around very easy. Also here is one of those chests in the "tutorial" island in the underground fighting arena. You can only get it there so you have to go in the fight (some how get to the enemy side, or use telekinesis to bring it to you) and put it on your character. If you you don't have it on your character when the fight ends you can't go back and get it. There is unlimited inventory in these chests even if it looks like there isn't, once you fill it up you get a scroll bar (so no need to put stuff in stuff if you don't feel like it) All elemental barrels weigh a lot (60 i think) so always pick those up. I ended up 1 shoting the final boss on the hardest difficulty (where if you die once you have to start over) Edit: Lone wolf just works even if they follow you, however you don't want them to die as they will probably be naked (since you don't care about them), and you are performing barrelmancy as your go to weapon.

Normally I'm just like "fair enough" to your exploits, but this one... man, this one got me This is insane

"He wants to take revenge on humans because they sold Star Wars to Disney" > When the anime villain has a good point

"Skeleton Soldier Effectively Exploits the Dungeon" My favorite new manga series.

Smells worse over here, Than a dozen rotten eggs, Dropped in a vat of vinegar. But I do hope Bree is holding up after all that death.

"Telekinesis only challenge" "Challenge" I do not think it means what you think it means.

The fact that this chest effectively SCALES the further into the game you get slays me. Spiff, you glorious Brit, you amaze me XD

So basically you turned a multi-million dollar game with endless gameplay possibilities into... checkers. :D

The greatest thing is that barrelmancy is literally one of the most important techniques to master if you want to speedrun the game.

*slaps chest* "you can fit so many barrels in this bad boy"

That chest is actually a survivor of the "Boston tea tragedy". Enraged by the injustice committed it transformed into a golden chest full of tea to take revenge, that's why it's so excessively strong. >:D

i like how your character still "levels up" like every other one, by getting more backpacks in the chest

letting a powerful chest, with interdimensional storage that travels alongside you, dispose of all your enemies? *heavy Rincewind noises*

“DND 5e is a perfectly balanced game with NO EXPLOITS” when God King Spiff?

The Spiffing Brit: I am become chest, destroyer of worlds. ... dude.

Revisiting this video to mention some things that went overlooked in here: - Technically, you can already do this as soon as you start the game because Backpacks also have no health whatsoever. It also has the advantage that Backpacks have infinite slots. However, it's harder to aim with them (especially when the enemy is an Elf) because of their small size, let alone hitting multiple enemies at the same time. - By holding ALT, you can check an object's weight without adding it to your inventory. - Be VERY careful of enemies with Retribution, especially in Honour Mode. You can easily one-shot yourself. Consider spending points on Necromancy (the life steal compensates damage taken, as well as Living on the Edge for major cases) and on Comeback Kid as there usually won't be more than one enemy with Retribution per fight. - When the game says "Can't see!", what is actually telling you is that there's something in-between the Chest and the target, instead of in-between you and the target.

Undying wizard with a deadly chest? Should have called him Rincewind

"You wear a mask, or you'll get killed by everyone" Still applies to this day.

"The Dark side is a pa-" *WHUMP* "Did...did master just kill the chancellor?" "Well, you see Ani..." *PLAYS DEAD* "..OH NO, THE CHANCELLOR IS DEAD!"

I remembered this comic where a character is collecting legendary weapons and putting them in a bag, and at one point, someone asked him, "Why collect so many weapons if you're not going to use them?" Then the character responded by smashing him with the bag that says, "Loot sack of legendary weapons" or something like that.

Spiff: *kills all of the NPCs guarding a random prisoner tied up to a post* Also Spiff: *runs away, leaving the prisoner tied up*

I was actually disappointed when he didn't pick up the "Hothead" trait, casually missing 10% more crit chance and accuracy... Spiff you are getting old my friend

"We killed him in three hits, and one of those was a miss."

This is probably one of my favorite exploits you've done. Just imagine a dude running around throwing a giant chest into people, like a homicidal Jedi.

I literally bought, installed, and started playing this game specifically cause I saw this video.

I gotta say, I started playing divinity a little while back and I really wanna see more perfectly balanced gameplay of it, so I gotta vote A

I want more Divinity: Original Sin 2 and Crusader Kings 3.

OMG, it still works! What’s even better is that using your backpack instead of gold chest would make the whole game so fun starting from the very beginning! Lol, love u so much!

when finding legendary items on the guy you just trash compactor'd to death is a mere welcome surprise, because you came into the room to steal all his barrels, actually...

Spiff: *murders everyone in sight* Also Spiff: "This man sells tea! I must protect this precious soul!"

Imagine giving your DND party a murder mystery, and they find out the murder weapon is a chest, so OF COURSE they chase after the mimic causing this, only to find 100 stat Bony-Wan Kenobi and get immediately TPKd and thats what they get for burning down my ghost airship I spent 6 hours crafting without even setting foot on it. Pricks.

A "special" chest like this can be found in fort joy, near Fane recruiting location but you need teleportation to get it out, not sure if 2 or 3 Telekinesis will be enough to get it from where it is.

"Whats the most difficult enemy you've ever fought?" A knight A god A chest " a chest? Oh you mean a Mimic?" No, unfortunately no

I would appreciate a "DnD Is A Perfectly Balanced GameWith No Exploits" One-Shot with some of your friends

When you give your players a bag of holding and they use it to throw the equivalent of a neutron star at your boss...

It’s actually a solid solid solid game. I had to look up guides for some quests but it’s so fun and each quest can be tackled differently.

This reminds me of a dwarf fortress story, where an adventurer was lugging around a platinum coffin, beating people to death with it, and putting the corpses into the coffin to make it even heavier before moving on. Dozens of corpses packed in there. Brutal lol.

I'd like to cast my vote for more Crusader Kings 3, dearest Spiff.

"That is one chonky chest." -The Spiffing Brit's Guide To Seduction

Spiff the type to play coffeelock in 5e! Well done, let chaos reign!

Spiff: I CAN KILL ANYTHING! Also Spiff: Sorry for killing you, doggo! :( *_Professionals have STANDARDS!_*

This is like a Rincewind and the Luggage role play

You just reminded me that I need to give this game a try, thanks :>

It's not quite a solo film, but your efforts single-handedly gave us the Obi-Wan Kenobi TV show

0:38 DnD Is A Perfectly Balanced Game With No Exploits. Hmmm... I do like the sound of that.

In this video Spiff invents “the luggage” using a wizard not named Rincewind CK3

When he said skip the tutorial. I thought he meant only the actual tutorial on the boat. Not all of act 1. xD

Well, looks like this video aged really well. We finally have confirmation of an Obi-Wan Kenobi TV series with Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen as Obi-Wan and Darth Vader. You did it Spiff 🧡 Also, thank you comments for letting me know that this exploit still works. Saves me so much time. I love this game, but damn, it takes way too much time and as an adult, I no longer have even half the free time I used to.

Me playing Divinity: Okay..if I measure the distance..try to anticipate the next three turns..plan out my AP I might make this work.. Boni-Wan Kenobi drinking tea like a lad: Barrel goes YEET **Edit** Sheesh. So many fine tea drinking folks here giving me these likes!

17:32 love how he said hed free them, but just left them dangling after murdering the guards

We got now the 4 Knights of the Perfectly Balanced Apocalypse: Boni-Wan Kenobi Hodd Toward Reanu Keeves Seymour Clevarge.
