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

Its quite mind refreshing not to have every single important thing or item flashing at you, or shining icons hovering over or in front every-single fucking thing.
Or the game telling you where to go, what you see - and what to do!

Play OS to refresh you brains people!

 

If it's at the end of the map, chances are you could just use one of the waypoints.
But I don't see a contradiction there. Seems like a small tweak to additionally make them run when clicking far away, or doing a, say, double-click.

 

Well, explored map... like other side of city for example. Bad choice of words probably, point still stands.

It seems like an animation "issue" to me, they start walking, then go running. If you keep clicking close to you, they never get that far. But the real question would be; why would anyone do that constantly to get everywhere?

 

They do run when you click far away. And the camera doesnt snap back onto them as additional plus.

Sometimes they get stuck but most of the time they run just fine.

 

Exactly, the trick is just not to constantly click close to your chars. Keep the button pressed and lead them or click fewer times further away.

 

Isn't it a GOOD thing then that if you click close to yourself they go there with walking speed?

: Does not see issue :

 

Wait... the complaint was that if you click close...then they walk there?

for fuck sake...


This is getting just... too much. Sorry guise but, im going to order an asteroid bombardment as soon as possible.
The gene pool has become too polluted. This...this cant go on.

Sorry!


:dials 888-GOD-ALMIGHTY:

cmonn you fucker...answer!!!

wake up!

 

Heh, I've actually not told yet what I thought of DS.

I like it very much so-far... especially due to the high conversation vs. combat ratio so far. Hopefully they can keep that up and not turn into total fightslogs later in the game like so many other RPG's.
The combat is TB (still hate that), but that's not the worst part about it. The AI is horrible, everything's broken and targeting a nightmare. Hopefully they get all that resolved soon. Although I don't mind rofl-stomping through 12 orcs since they all decide to end their turns for no good reason constantly, makes TB go a lot faster
But yeah, if talking about flawed gem, it's definitely super-flawed in it's current state. Of course beta has part to do with it, but some systems that are working as intended (repair) are still horrible by design.

And I can't be the only who finds it difficult to pick talents since with most the con is bigger than the pro. Only the con-less seem worth taking, which immediately closes out about 80% of them. Can't be the way it's supposed to be.

So yeah, it's fun to play, and so very very refreshing in the modern RPG world to have good old style again, but it definitely needs these few extra months of polishing. And hope they don't make the game less appealing to appease some Steam Forum whine-babies...

 

The slow movement is also the only way to go through ice surfaces without tripping. This probably has other uses. I find that, often, when you ask yourself why something works that way in Original Sin, there usually is a good reason.

 

Of course, the infinitron retard has not played this beta either.

So, he is praising and apologizing super stupid W2 - although he doesnt know anything about it himself, and he is trying to create some criticisms (or support those made by some players) about OS without playing it himself.

codex doesnt scale to those levels, EH?

 

Your Dex also plays a role in checking whether you slip on ice or not, if I recall correctly.

 

felipepepe can you come here and shit on the game like you did in the wasteland 2 thread please. I'm having a hard time not launching the beta.

 

Do not play, it has Cloud's sword.

 

Sorry, I co-oped it last night with my brother, and we had a hell of a time, laughing a lot while doing derpy stuff and facing some really challenging combat. Also, the game is gorgeous.

BUT, it has a lot of minor bugs and glitches, so after we died horribly we decided to wait patiently for the full release before playing again. And I recommend you do the same.

Also, the rock/paper/scissors minigame is kind of fun in co-op, the flaw really is that is too long, you need like 4 victories to win the argument.

 

The interesting thing is that candles have a "Burning" status applied to them when they're, well, burning. I tried shooting them in hope that that would destroy them and apply the burning effect to the ground they were on. No such luck.

If you're alraedy past that point, there's also a shovel stuck in the dirt in the graveyard in Cyseal.

 

This is as valid a complain as that about clunky combat at the beginning of Gothic/Gothic 2/Risen.
Improve your dialogue skills and you will be able to win faster = more points per victory.

 

yup,

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

next to a suspiciously big grave mound (you actually need perception to see it)

I havent personally threatened you so far, but keep this up and... i dont know.

:just joking (not): emote

 

there's also a shovel in esmeraldas cellar or whatever her name was... in fact there are shovels and pitchforks (which can be used for digging as well, according to their tooltip) pretty much everywhere.

 

MOBAs are a blight. You might not realize it, but you have been defiled. It's still not too late, though. Turn around and see the light.

 

Hey!

 

I don't know... I think clicking on ice would very well determine that...

It's like walking into a big pool of poison and saying "It should not matter where I click on this terrain, even if I click on this big pile of poison. Why am I poisoned?"
If you dislike it, melt the ice...

Also, I know sometimes it's good to sacrifice realism and looks for a better gameplay (Knights of the Old Republic I spacesuit vs II spacesuit anyone?) but here, it's not the case.

EDIT:
Still on the walking speed, it seems wanting to change the RPG to fit his DOTA gamestyle, rather than adapt. Which is how we got crappy RPG's in the first place (we don't want to talk, adapt the game to suit us! and ! and quest marks were born.)
I hardly wish for this great step backwards to go forwards to the age of RPG-ultra-lite just to fit some DOTA-player(s).
