The Homestead in Divinity: Original Sin

At a certain point in the story, you will visit the Homestead and gain access to new game play options.

For instance, you will discover chests to which you can send items from anywhere in the world.

You may also discover than you can give your character a complete makeover.

Once you visit the Homestead, any companion that you dismiss will end up in the Hall of Heroes, which is one of the first rooms you’ll unlock there.
