A little while after Divinity: Original Sin 2 released, the developers decided to add gift bags to the game. These gift bags alter the game and allow players to enjoy the game with little enhancements. Some of these enhancements are rather small while some of them change the way the game players.

If players are getting tired of playing the game, try using the Combat Randomizer gift bag to get a fresh combat experience. Using these gift bags will prevent players from getting trophies so players looking to get all the trophies might want to avoid them.

Updated July 6th, 2021, By Aden Carter: Even though Divinity 2 has not received any updates, players are still finding ways to enjoy this classic RPG, such as with DLC that has since been released. The gift bag system implements new ways to play the game that keep it feeling fresh. Every gift bag can be used in a single playthrough to make the game better than it is originally. Gift bags can even be enjoyed while playing online with friends. With this in mind, this piece has been updated to include more detail on what makes these gift bags great.

12 Animal Empathy

  • Allows players to talk to animals without the Pet Pal Talent

During normal gameplay, players will need to spend a talent point on the Pet Pal talent to be able to talk to animals. This is a useful talent because animals offer useful information about puzzles. With the Animal Empathy gift bag, players will be able to talk to animals without spending that talent point. Players who still want to get the Pet Pal talent will get the maximum positive attitude with all the animals they talk to.  It’s easy to see why players started using the gift bags.

11 Fort Joy Magic Mirror

  • Adds a magic mirror to Fort Joy and the Lady Vengeance
  • Magic Mirror lets players change their character’s aspects

One of the worst things about creating a character is deciding to change them later on, only to have to start over. This can easily be solved by using the Magic Mirror in the Fort Joy Arena. It can be used to change anything about a player’s character, from looks to stats. Even players who decide to change their character late in the game will have access to a second mirror on the Lady Vengeance.

10 From The Ashes/Source Meditation

  • Bedrolls now revive allies who died
  • Bedrolls now restore source points

From The Ashes enhances a player’s bedroll, making it far better than it ever was before. Now, whenever a player has a member of their party die, they can use their bedroll to bring them back to life. Of course, this perk only works outside of combat. Imagine how great it will be to not have to go to extra lengths just to revive teammates. Source Meditation is another gift bag that alters the bedroll, allowing it to restore source points.

9 Spirit Vision

  • Spirit Vision skill stays active after use

After players leave Fort Joy, they will begin to come across spirits. Some of these spirits will offer quests and give players information. They are an important part of the game, which players won’t want to miss out on.

Spirit Vision makes it so the Spirit Vision skill stays active once players use it. The only downside to this gift bag is that Spirit Vision will need to be reactivated in order to use it. It will also need to be used whenever Spirit Vision is needed to solve a puzzle.

8 Hagglers

  • Allows players to share their bartering skill with other members of the party

Traditionally, players will designate one member of their party to handle the money and make purchases. The reason for this is an individual’s Bartering skill only applies to that character. With the Hagglers gift bag, the Bartering skill works for every character. Level up one character’s Bartering skill and allow every character to reap the rewards for it. No more forgetting about who the haggler is in the group.

7 Sourcerous Sundries

  • Creates new shopkeepers that can upgrade player equipment

Players can appreciate the Sourcerous Sundries gift bag since it adds new vendors to the game in each of the major hubs. In other words, players will find the new vendors in Fort Joy, Driftwood, The Lady Vengeance, and Arx. These vendors sell new materials that players can use to upgrade the equipment that they find. It is a little pricey, so players should remember to bring plenty of gold with them. Players should also keep in mind that the equipment can only be upgraded to their current level.

6 Endless Runner

  • Fleetfoot remains active after use

The original way to play the game is such a bore. Players are stuck walking throughout the game, and it makes it feel like it drags on. The Endless Runner gift bag adds the Fleetfoot ability to the player’s hotbar immediately. Using this ability allows the player to move at a faster pace. It also doesn’t need to be reactivated, since it automatically reactivates after each battle. Never worry about walking to a destination ever again.

5 Improved Organization

  • Automatically organizes player inventory

Inventory management is such a pain. Items get scattered throughout the player’s inventory and can end up getting mixed up and become hard to find. The Improved Organization gift fills the player’s inventory with bags for each type of item in the game.

What makes this even better is that each item a player picks up automatically gets organized. No more confusing inventory screens, and no more wondering where every item is located.

4 Divine Talents

  • Adds new talents for players to use

The same talents can get kind of old when creating a new character. The Divine Talents gift bag gives new talents for players to mess around with. These talents include Soulcatcher, Sadist, Master Thief, Magical Cycles, Indomitable, Haymaker, Greedy Soul, and Gladiator. Each of these new talents offers new ways to play a player’s favorite character. Some are able to steal Source, and some can even turn allies who die into zombies that gain bonuses from Summoning.

3 Pet Power

  • Allows Summoners to infuse all of their summons

Tired of the same old stuff with the Summoner class? Looking to spice things up a bit? The Pet Power gift bag exists to enhance the Summoner class; specifically, the summons themselves. In the base game, a Summoner can only cast infusion on their Incarnate. While this is great if a player wants to stick with their Incarnate above all else, it’s disappointing for all the other summons. What about the Bone Widow, for example? Take this bag to let the Summoner of the party infuse power into all of their pets.

2 Crafter’s Kit

  • Adds additional crafting recipes

Divinity: Original sin 2 offers tons of items that players can craft on their journey, but wouldn’t it be fun to add a little more? The Crafter’s Kit gift bag lets crafty players create more items than ever before. This gift bag is great for players who don’t want to buy all their gear. After all, why bother buying something strong when it can be crafted?

1 8 Action Points

  • Increases the maximum number of action points to 8

This gift bag is self-explanatory, giving players and allies eight action points in combat. This is a great way to give players an extra edge in combat if they are struggling. Of course, players will still start with only four action points in a turn, but they can save up to eight instead of six. If players decide to take the Lone Wolf, that eight-point total will go up to ten points.
