Swen Vincke may be in Croatia, but that hasn't stopped Larian from delivering the Divinity: Original Sin 2 Kickstarter update they promised, summarizing their visit to PAX East last week. The accompanying video demonstrates the game's new combat features in a PvP match between Swen Vincke and a diminutive underling, followed by a look at the impressions of PAX East's visitors. It's nothing we don't know about already at this point, but it's nice to get a detailed visual look at it. Here's the video and text:



What the PAXers saw:
  • New combat mechanics, including ultra-powerful Source skills powered by Source Points-- which you can obtain through fair or truly foul means.
  • Height gameplay, including added damage and range bonuses when attacking from on high (flying Margaret, anyone?).
  • New surface interactions in which you can Bless and Curse existing surfaces in order to help or hurt your fellow combatants.
  • A brand new armor system featuring Magical and Physical armor.
The update also reports that the Summoning Master skill tree has won February's skill vote. Democracy fails again!

That game looks like loads of fun. Can't wait to play it. Here's to hoping they don't muck it up! :incline:

So now it's official. You're Swen "The Greedy" Vincke's cocksucking plant bitch sent here to fight the good fight against the monstruous Brian Fargo.

Go grind your axe somewhere else, you dumb bitch. Not everyone on the net gives a shit about your pointless e-drama.

EDIT: And when that Fargo faggot manages to make a good game, I'll give him the praise he deserves. But considering he buried Interplay with his idiocy, I'm not holding my breath.

From the short travel distance and massive arc on the arrow at @5:34 it looks like it's being lobbed by a limp-wristed weakling rather than shot from a bow.

Great video! I am reasonably hyped for this game.

I am optimistic about the combat. But at the end of the day, for me it will all come down to how coherent and satisfying a full playthrough in single mode will feel. I can only hope.
