Divinity Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition

And If I recall wasn't Fallout 3 GOTY once here

DA:O was

Either it was a really shitty year, or more of the voters here, than I realized are retarded. Probably both though.

It was a very dark time.

 

[abnaxus]

Sorry bros I vote Blackguards.

 

[Zorba the Hutt]

Next year will be the real clash of the titans: Underrail and AoD.

 

[Grunker]

Next year [...] AoD.

I just finished the game.

My biggest gripe with it is definitely the random l00t. Killing the death lord for example gives you some cash and some random items that give you +1 loremaster or shit like that. Yeah, thanks.
The combat was fun at the beginning, but later it becomes obvious which spells are good and all encounters play out the same way. I guess that is problem with all games, so that's why I don't mind it too much.
What I do mind however is that it is too easy to savescum. F8 was probably my most used key during the playthrough. F5, cast blind, fail, F8, cast blind, success, YES!, F5, repeat. I am too weak to resist it.

The story was nothing special and near the end, the combination of wacky plot, random loot and boring encounters made me almost quit.

All in all it was a fun game for the 70 or so hours I played but definitely not worth a second playthrough.

 

[RK47]

yes, indeed it was too easy to savescum

 

[Rake]

Now Now Rake you are just butthut at the shitfest that P:E combat is ... as I said it will be, as it should be.

No, i just find you amusing. I agree PoE combat is shit at the moment, and in case you didn't noticed i don't belong to Sawyer's fanboys

We must never forget how the decline and democracy go hand in hand.

It was the year KotC was released, there is simply no excuse for that fucking faggotry.

 

[Chaotic_Heretic]

DA:O over KotC ??

What did the enjoy? The story? The storyfags have corrupted the codex greatly indeed.

Actually, it was mostly hailed for bringing back complex RTwP combat.

We got Thirst(sea's mod) out of it, so.

Complex rtwp

I think this story of high profile projects getting money that should be used on small profile projects smells like socialist butthurt. See the Pathologic remake, it is going to pass the 300.000 dollars range and that is for just a remake of a weird game from a weird ruskie studio. If you even have the slightly positive reputation, just enough to prove you aren't a squatter living on a condo, people will give you money. Larian, InExile, Obsidian or other biggies not using kickstarter won't change that reality a single bit so why not get free promotion, word of mouth and free material for codex butthurt and flaming wars?

On the Codex? Pretty sure it was largely C&C.

 

[Chaotic_Heretic]

Nah I am sure the concerned staff members are retarded.

 

[Mangoose]

I'm very butthurt that D:OS hasn't gotten it's own separate subforum yet.

Discussion about this flash-in-a-pan is kinda dead/dying.

Surely within the next week or two they'll release their big rebalance patch and I'll finally be able to evaluate it and leave this thread and Larian behind forever.

Wait, you're actually going to play it?

 

[Roguey]

Wait, you're actually going to play it?

I did pre-order it through Kickstarter. I also have an extra copy I'll be giving away after I redeem one.

I guess I could give both away and wash my hands of the whole thing, but eh.

 

[RK47]

Yeah after the repeated handjobs you give out, those hands are probably full of little Sawyers by now.

But if you give both away then you don't get to evaluate the game.

 

[Mangoose]

Oh lord this guy has more genius than RK47 :

I'm not really sure where to put this as I'm not sure if it's a cheat or it's a break in the game, but: In trying to find my way through the church barrier I used my high telekinesis to drag the vases on the other side of the barrier up close to it (not through it) where i could actually look inside it. I then put one of the transporting pyramids into it and closed it. Then I activated the other in my inventory and transported across the barrier.

 

[Chaotic_Heretic]

That didn't occur to me at all... Most I used telekinesis is for barrel dropping combos and getting stuff from lava.

Breaking systems si fun as fuck.

Woot! With the delay of PoE , it automatically makes Divinity: Original Sin 2014 RPG of the year.

Ah, funny. Unless, of course, you are talking about the category "most disappointing RPG of the year", in which case you are right, PoE would have been the most likely candidate for 2014.
