Divinity: Original Sin Beta Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO THE NEW THREAD]

Sound glitch happened to me while exploring the starting zone, though it was easily fixed by restarting the game.

Besides I enjoyed what I played quite a lot, so it wasn't much of a problem, loved how much stuff I could try at the tutorial cave (and how combat-light it was!), only real annoyance is that most fonts at the inventory/character screens are reaaaaally small if you play in a laptop, does Larian have plans for letting you increase the size?

 

Again: no amount of environmental interaction justifies being super pissy about the things you listed. I don't really give a shit how you're selling that to yourself.

Have fun though. Watch out for those dungeon maps that don't line up perfectly with the overworld maps. Those are killers.

 

sounds are pretty wonky and disappear for no reason all the time for me. dunno about take all but plenty of stuff doesn't work, like the hide helmet options.

more like number of environmental interactions times objects, either way it makes little sense for candles to light oil in a game where candles burn eternally and cannot be flipped over. braziers should have a low chance to light oil they are hanging over or standing in, but that's it. candles (along with torches, various kinds of braziers as well as the candle-topped skulls) should trigger gas cloud explosions, though, which afaik they don't atm.

 

Just trying to see if i should bother reporting it, since it seemed like something many players will have.
No major complaints so far.

The music is superb. If i didnt opt for that on kickstarter im going to buy it.

 

This game isn't a "flawed" gem. It's a gem gem, no flawed to it.

 

I think your characters walk/run faster when you click further away from them.
Or keep the mouse button pressed while "leading" them - the distance between char and pointer should control speed, iirc.

Some cool things happen when you start to mix certain spells - e.g. the chill spell will make enemies more susceptive to water spells. But if the enemy is already wet, he gets frozen. I'm constantly fighting in the rain now.

What I like less is that they also ditched interruptions (when casting spells in combat).

 

I follow my own set of commandments, and the fist one says "Thou shalt not have any other forums but RPG Codex".

Useful interaction vs usless interaction. Which is better and why? DISCUSS!

Actually, i'm not super pissy about it. Looks like you didn't click the spoiler tag when you read my first post. Not enough handholding?

And it's pretty ironic how you're the only one who's dragging this issue on and on, accusing me of nitpicking. STFU.

They probably could copy + paste a line of code from... a fire arrow?

Okay, you want to tackle this from this angle?

In D:OS you can move objects with your mind! (no lifting animations). You shouldn't expect Skyrim's level of object manipulation. That doesn't mean we shouldn't expect some meaningful interaction, especially when it was promissed.

But fuck it, i don't really care.

 

the arguing game as well as levels including hp and dmg growth are definitely things i would consider flaws...

 

Well, the arguing game is still a test.
If you don't like it or have a better idea, tell them - chances are that they will remove it again if people majorly don't like it.

I would still like to test in in co-op before deciding. Sadly my co-op buddy's parents-in-law came to visit over the weekend (poor guy), so we couldn't play our planned session, and now I'm out of town for the entire week and won't be able to play, anyway.

 

They should replace it with a nicely animated dice roll for both characters ONE dice roll per character. Not 15.

 

i have nothing against interaction, especially the kind that makes sense (like gas clouds igniting from fire sources). your candles make no sense to me though, especially when considering that they are all over the place and would have to autoignite draw oil when in its area of effect, at no additional ap cost. not sure i like that.

 

Bro, are you crazy? That would be SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET.

 

I'm only dragging it on because you keep making silly internet badass replies that make me twitch. Anyway I'll shut up now until the game's released.

 

oils flash point varies tremendously, from -43 C to 323 C, but since average candle flame temp is 1000 C that is moot.

Ok I turned it off after the tutorial. It was insanely difficult to do, but I just have to wait. I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS
I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS I CAN DO THIS

 

no, you can't. you know you want to play. c'mon. it's so easy. just click play on steam.

 

Telekinesis. Throw them onto flammable sources with your mind. that costs APs, right? (havent got it yet) If not then it should.

Just bashed in zombie mage with a guitar.

Ran into undead scorcher... first time i made it rain and he didnt shoot his flamethrower for the whole of the fight. Then i ran into some trap later, died - so had to do that fight again... but this time he used the flamethrower in the rain.
Which one is the bug, exactly?

Such bugs and quirks non withstanding, but this is like a therapy with a massage extra, in a jacuzzi - after W2.

 

Bah, but I already played the entire alpha. I'm afraid I'll be tired of Cyseal if I play anymore before the final release.

 

Anyone know where to buy a shovel at?

 

Look around Cyseal beach, ahead of the liberators of wine, you should find one gratis.

 

You poor thing. Hopefully, playing a proper RPG will cure you of your affliction. It will take time of course, but endure, and in enduring grow stronger.

 

I have no problems with it. Works well, imho.

 

Yes?
Why the heck would you not like placing a waypoint at the end of a map and just see them run there? What good is going right next to me all the time?

It's quite liberating to finally have a RPG again where you don't have to press W all the time.
