This also seemed to be a definitive 'break' point in the sense that my party was disbanded, though I could choose to have them re-join or convene with others. Still, it was nice to be able to debrief with the characters we've met along the way so far on our adventure and achievements.
After such an eventful encounter on my last foray into Divinity - Original Sin 2, I'm lulling on the game a bit since I went from a huge battle and story dump to being stuck on a boat.
