Janine Hawkins has nice words to say about Original Sin 2:

https://www.polygon.com/2017/9/15/16316126/divinity-original-sin-2-review
From the very beginning Original Sin 2 feels wonderfully flexible. Players can customize their own characters (down to picking an instrument to highlight their personal soundtrack) or choose from several pre-made origins. Choosing an origin character doesn’t mean sacrificing any chance at customization, though. Players still have complete control over the origin character’s class, abilities and appearance, so there’s wiggle room even if you love a character concept but hate their weapon/hair/cannibalism-related clairvoyance.

Origin characters will become companions if they aren’t picked as the player character, meaning that their stories and the unique interactions they can have aren’t completely locked off. Better still, they offer players the option to influence their class when they do join up, so a party that’s already brimming with magic users can nudge a new companion in a different direction to fill a skill gap. It’s a good idea to take advantage of this, since a more diverse set of skills can ensure a party is ready to deal with anything.

And that’s incredibly valuable. A lot of different things can happen in Divinity: Original Sin 2; it’s an RPG that is overwhelmingly about planning ahead yet still being completely taken by surprise. A seemingly inconsequential conversation with someone can lead to them dropping dead from some unholy and unknown force. An arrow shot astray in a fight can cause an unrelated and cascading loop of fire, poison and electricity to render a nearby area completely impassable. A teleportation glove can lead someone too clever for their own good somewhere they’re absolutely not prepared to be.

This, however, is unfortunate. I had similar issues in the first game and hoped they would be ironed out.
Another notable cost of all this complexity is that it can be hell to stay on top of everything. While the game’s journal keeps track of updates to quests in what should be a very tidy and helpful way, many entries are vague to the point of uselessness. Others require very specific (and sometimes easily missed) triggers to be hit. I have multiple quests open at the moment stuck on steps that I’ve completed with no idea of how to advance them further.

I think the majority of the best original Xbox games are now available on other platforms (which you likely have access to), and where they run much better. If you already have JSRF, I guess there's, like, Panzer Dragoon Orta and the Otogi games? Hulk: Ultimate Destruction?

Oh and Riddick too assuming you didn't buy it before it was pulled from Gog/Steam

I tried to play the original in co-op with a friend, but I wasn't too keen on the story and we spent so long micro-managing our inventory and characters and it took so long to do anything that we never felt like we'd made decent progress after several four hour sessions playing together. This one improve on any of those (plot, pacing, co-op clunkiness)?

Improved story is the big focus on this game. They hired several writers (including Chris Avallone) to create origin stories for a handful of characters you can either control or meet along the way, and their disposition will have some affect on how you approach the game. I'm not sure what micro-managing issues you ran into early in D:OS, though. Was it skill allocation? The opening areas are fairly straight forward so I can't see what else it would be. Micro-managing issues certainly exist, even in EE, but those don't become detrimental until further in.

Where is that? All of our local Yema cakes our local bakeries produces are pretty much clones to each other. =(

Vancouver! It's a place called Aling Mary's. Their pandesal is amazing ($4 for a dozen, we buy 2 a week), and they're the only place I know that imports a specific brand of mee goreng I like.

I'm dismissing the system in hopes the feather ruffling would get yall to step up to the plate!

there's like maybe three games left in the system's library. we've all played our Vita games and had our fill. you're coming in at the tail end of it after all our enthusiasm over playing Spelunky/FEZ/Persona/whatever on a handheld has waned. the Vita is a cool piece of tech and has a great line-up catering to two very specific niches. if that doesn't appeal to you, that's fine.
