What to study

Original Sin 2's combat screen is built around one question, what can this character still do, and what is that enemy? The answer is layered. Across the top runs the whole fight as a strip of fifteen portraits in turn order, the active character pulled larger and named. Hovering an enemy opens a compact readout in the top centre: its name (POSSESSED BATTLEMAGE), three numbers that are really three defences, physical armour, magic armour (164/164) and vitality (372/372), its level, and its live statuses as labelled icons: Floating, Possessed, Hasted for 2 more turns. At the bottom, the current character's turn is a row of pips: action points are spent as dots, one green pip still lit above the armour/health bar, with END TURN parked at its right end and a YOUR TURN banner confirming whose move it is. Under everything sits the freeform hotbar, skills, potions and items in numbered slots the player arranged, with letter keys (I K G M L) opening the game's other panels. Frame at about 0:40 in the Trailer video (Steam), pipeline candidate v0_0011 at 39.9s.
