Parent Pro-Tip

Divinity: Original Sin 2 is a complex and mature game. Consider playing it alongside your child, especially for younger teens, to discuss the ethical dilemmas and mature themes presented. Utilize the natural stopping points between quests and combat encounters to encourage breaks and manage screen time. The game's co-op mode can be a great way to bond, but be mindful of who your child is playing with online if they are not playing with friends or family.
