Is the undead race in the beta yet? or is that release only.

Release only.

 

[Lahey]

It's almost as if design by committee is a bad idea!

The public can't be trusted.

Oh, no.

 

[Iznaliu]

Is "cheese" a euphemism?

 

[buru5]

I liked the guy who said "Haver of the beautifully shaped shoulders!"

They should bring him back.

So basically a signed $100 Kickstarter package in exchange for 35-40 hours of temp QA work, which translates to $2.5 - 2.85/hr. Smooth, Swen, very smooth.

 

[anvi]

Seriously, world is full of fucking morons. Beta test our game, for free, and you have to come to us. Your reward will be playing a gimpy broken version of the game you could just play properly in a couple of months.

Wasn't some QA work unpaid?

Doing real VR support this time?

 

[Cyberarmy]

Waste of time and money...

 

[anvi]

+1

 

[Iznaliu]

It could get them more attention, which means more sales.

 

[LESS T_T]

Well, if they're funded by Oculus like inXile it would be less waste of money. Then again, I think Dragon Commander is more suitable for VR, in many ways.

 

[Jezal_k23]

This might have been asked already, but given how much emphasis they're putting on coop (even more than in DOS cause 4 players), is this still satisfying to play on your own?

 

[Konjad]

It certainly seems multiplayer focused.

 

[JasonNH]

No less than the first game.

 

[Grotesque]

I heard that the dialogues in this game are as just as flavourless as the railroaded answers in Fallout 4

 

[Jedi Exile]

The demo doesn't have much dialogues, but they certainly have flavour. Especially if you pick trait which allows you to talk to animals.

For any of you aspiring modders of the game:

Larian is looking for help from modders!

Larian Studios is looking for seasoned modders to test out our pre-release version of the editor!

We'd like to work out the final kinks in our improved D:OS2 editor. For this reason, we are looking for seasoned modders, who have preferably already used the previous version. We would be immensely grateful and hope this will help provide a smooth launch for the modding community!

Preferred qualifications:

• Having made popular mods for D:OS or D:OS EE is a plus
• Having worked with other game editors
• Having created popular mods for other games
• Experience with other scripting languages
• Experience with the steam workshop
• Have to be available for about one week this summer
  Exact timing can be discussed (somewhere between 24/07 and 21/08)

What we are offering:

• Travel and lodging costs paid for by us (to our studio in Gent, Belgium)
• Signed collector's edition of D:OS2, hoodie, name in the credits

If interested, send a mail to modding@larian.com with the following information:

• Name
• Age
• larian forum handle / steam forum handle (if applicable)
• your experience with modding
• When you are available

Most likely for the European bros as I don't think they'll be keen on flying people from all over the continent.

July 14, 2017

• Available for at least three weeks this summer
  
  
• Exact timing to be discussed (somewhere between 24/07 and 21/08)

What we are offering:

• Temporary paid contract during the summer
  
  
• Travel and lodging costs near our studio in Gent, Belgium. Paid by us for the duration of the contract

If you are interested, send a mail to loca@larian.com with the following information:

• Age
  
  
• Motivational letter
  
  
• When you are available

We are looking forward to hearing from you!

Odd that they are looking for 'lingustics' students, I don't think it means what they think it means. Then again, maybe my own command of language is imperfect here but I consider lingustics a specific subset of studying a language and one I don't think would help them much for correcting translations, so they are probably simply looking for people with 'a background in languages', or, more simply, people who study English (and are native Germans).

 

[Fry]

Yeah, academic linguistics has zero to do with translation. It's the study of language development.

I think they meant to say "language student".

 

[Raghar]

Perhaps they wanted someone who can speak German really well. WTF they mean by student? 9/10 of them would do pretty sloppy work. They'd need a German bookworm, preferably long term unemployed.

 

[Lacrymas]

In my country the study of language the way they describe it is "philology". I know in English the meaning is kinda different, but that's what we call it. To teach German, for example, you need a degree in German philology.
