I'm guessing it's either the tutorial level or one of the random caves that are placed in an inaccessible part of the map

It's the cave with the frogs.

Total party kills or just a couple deaths here and there mixed in?

Dorito overdose

 

[Cnaiur]

The OST theme they are still playing is pretty good and BG-esque.

Sep 30

And two years later maybe a release lol. I am really getting annoyed at all that EA marketing shit. Finish the game and few months before release just hype the shit out of it lol. Most people here have a good chance of dying before the game's release. We already lost a few waiting for the EA lol. Poor DraQueen got run over by a horny baboon tribe while visiting afrika.

I hate that I find myself in a situation where I need to ask this but...

Is this real or shopped?

 

[Bara]

So as I couldn't watch the live stream today was it just discussion with no gameplay?

Real.

Stream wasn't exactly as informative as I'd hoped, most of it was indeed just stuff we'd already been told in the past. I guess it was to be expected since it mainly just was to announce the EA date but I was still hoping for something more.
Some things I don't think have been mentioned before were:

• Familiars can go anywhere (except through doors) and can enter combat without placing the party or summoner in combat if they aren't around
• Speak with Dead can, supposedly, be used on all corpses. Not sure if this includes bodies left behind after combat or if it's only for the pre-placed ones in the game world.
• Early Access starts on the 30th of September

Anything else that was covered during the stream?

They did show some gameplay. Dice rolls a la Disco Elysium for skill checks.

The main thing I am wondering is the price of the game on September 30th? Will it just be standard $59.99?

We live in 2020,nobody can shop a better meme than reality at this point,mate.

 

[Spectacle]

That should be a Sleight of Hand roll and not straight Dexterity! Is this supposed to be D&D or just some random popamole system!?

Based on the early access FAQ posted on the previous page it appears the EA will have the same price as the full game.

Early Access FAQ updated on Steam page:

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?
“We are creating our most ambitious RPG yet, and pricing won’t change during development of the game, into release. We hope that by purchasing the game early, you’re on board for the Early Access journey, and we thrive from your feedback, letters, and discussion around our games. Our community is incredibly important to us, and we value each and every one of you who opt into the Early Access journey.”

Also they removed PvP related categories.

I'm guessing that is $59.99 because of WOTC. D:OS2 released at $39.99, right?

FWIW the previous roll (which he failed resulting in the scene in the image) said it was an intimidation check when he briefly hovered his cursor over it even though the chat line itself just stated it was a [CHARISMA] check. Might be the same case here?
