Divinity: Original Sin 2 Early Access Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Iznaliu]

He's gone, the balance prevailed! Not a single cheese remains!

Somebody needs to order some new ones.

Suddenly it's... out of Early Access?: http://store.steampowered.com/app/435150/Divinity_Original_Sin_2/

Probably a mistake? I wonder if Steam allows them to revert it back. (Shadowrun Chronicles devs did the same mistake, and couldn't revert it back IIRC.)

16:38 - Infinitron: oy you appear to have accidentally released your game out of Early Access
16:39 - DeathKnight: wut

 

[SausageInYourFace]

WTF, what a disaster, I pity the guy responsible for this.

"I am sorry I pressed the wrong button, Sven.."

 

[Lacrymas]

Still in EA on GOG. Does that mean they've accidentally uploaded the whole game on Steam, lolol?

 

[Infinitron]

No, the game itself hasn't been updated.

Somebody was messing around an hour ago: https://steamdb.info/app/435150/history/

 

[LESS T_T]

Looks like it happened while the person responsible adding Local Co-op and Shared/Split Screen categories.

Well, I guess now they have to do what Shadowrun Chronicles devs had to!:

Wrong release date

Hi folks,

unfortunately there seems to be a glitch in the system showing the wrong information that Divinity Original Sin 2 has been already released.

Just to clarify: Our release is still on September the 14th.

We hope this issue will be resolved soon and apologize for the inconvenience this migh have caused.

[Infinitron]

They messed that up too. New update: http://steamcommunity.com/games/435150/announcements/detail/1453955033095974635

Still in Early Access

Stress!

STILL IN EARLY ACCESS. The eagerly anticipated sequel to the award-winning RPG. Gather your party. Master deep, tactical combat. Play with up to 4 friends - but know that only one of you will have the chance to become a God...

Well, given how calm people were about release dates on Grimoire's Steam forums, I'm sure this won't cause any issues or commotion whatsoever on the Steam DOS 2 board.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 to Feature Full English Voice Acting, Over 74,000 Lines of Voiced Dialogue

GHENT, Belgium - Aug. 25, 2017 - Larian Studios has announced that Divinity: Original Sin 2, the highly anticipated RPG launching on Steam on September 14, will feature a full roster of voice acting content and talent, with more than 1 million words and over 74,000 lines of voiced dialogue.

For more details, please see a new update to the game’s Kickstarter page, as well as a new Kickstarter update video at https://youtu.be/DWCpzzG8dtE.

Voice acting talent in Divinity: Original Sin 2 includes veterans from the games industry and beyond:

• Harry Hadden-Paton as the Red Prince, a haughty but heroic lizard noble exiled from his own empire.
• Alix Wilton Regan as Sebille, an elven assassin seeking vengeance against the Master who once enslaved her.
• Tamaryn Payne as Lohse, a star musician possessed by an unwelcome - and powerful - visitor.
• Chris Finney as Ifan ben-Mezd, a mercenary ex-soldier on the run from a haunted past.
• Alec Newman as Beast, a rebel-turned-pirate who must save his people from their reckless and tyrannical queen.
• Christopher Bonwell as the undead whose origin story will soon be revealed.

Not only are the game’s main origin characters fully voiced, Divinity: Original Sin 2 also features around 1200 different characters and creatures, voiced by a full cast of around 80 actors. The full extent of the game’s voiced content cannot possibly be discovered in one playthrough - players who want to hear every NPC’s story and every origin story interaction will require many playthroughs.
Fans of the Divinity series may remember Harry Hadden Paton, who voiced Edmund in Divinity: Dragon Commander, as well as the Male Inquisitor in Dragon Age: Inquisition. Alix Wilton Regan has also leant her voice talents to Divinity: Dragon Commander and the original Divinity: Original Sin, as well as a Mass Effect 3, the Dragon Age series, and Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide. The voice of Alec Newman will also be recognizable - he has voiced characters in many popular games, including Dragon Age II, Killzone 3, The Witcher 2 and 3, several Assassin’s Creed games, and also several games in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 is a fantasy RPG featuring deep turn-based combat and a branching, epic story that begs to be replayed. Backed by 40,000 fans on Kickstarter and with 94% player rating on Steam, the game is a direct sequel to the award winning and critically acclaimed Divinity: Original Sin, which achieved a Metacritic score of 94 out of 100. Divinity: Original Sin 2 will launch on September 14, 2017, for $44.99 on Steam.

They did it, but not as excessive:

 

[Infinitron]

I guess this is our beginning-of-week surprise?

 

[SausageInYourFace]

Nice trailer. Could have picked better quotes, perhaps.

"Its good." Okay?

 

[imweasel]

Look, a skellie.

 

[Infinitron]

Hey LESS T_T you were wrong, they re-enabled the Early Access: http://store.steampowered.com/app/435150/Divinity_Original_Sin_2/

 

[Trodat]

That skeleton looks amazing. I hope they have some DLC or expansions planned. It would be a shame if they didn't.

 

[Kev Inkline]

So he had two boar heads tied to his shoulders when he was alive...weird

Was in Early Access for me 30 minutes ago.

I was just going to say that I hope those aren't a part of his/her model, they are pretty kitschy.

 

[SausageInYourFace]

With the reveal of the skellie, who seems to be a mage, can anybody summarize the companions and their classes for me? It seems they changed it a few times, so information on the net is not consistent and I don't know whats the latest info. Is it true you can completely respec the companions?

I highly doubt it. Every armor piece in the game has different visual set for each race. During character creation, the armor set changes depending on what class preset you choose. So I am guessing that what you see is whatever the undead version of the enchanter's starting set looks like.

Regardless of what the default companion skill build out is, you can change it when you first meet them and add them to your party.
