The Divinity: Original Sin 2 Kickstarter campaign reached one million dollars of funding a short while ago, prompting Swen Vincke to publish a celebratory update direct from the Larian booth at PAX Prime:



By the Seven! It’s crazy enough that we blasted through our original goal of $500,000 in just 12 hours, but now we’ve hit $1,000,000 on just Day 5? Unbelievable! The support we’ve received from you all has just been amazing. Thank you so much to each and every one of our backers: you’re helping this dream become a reality, and we’re very, very excited to work with you over the coming months to make this game something truly special.

Introducing: Racial Skills

Crossing the seven figure mark means that we will now be introducing Racial Skills to each Origin! Choosing a lizard over a dwarf will no longer be an aesthetic choice: now it will come with a range of skills, talents, and abilities that will reflect each race’s background, strengths, and place in the world. The history of your race will now directly affect how you fight, converse, and move through Rivellon. It’ll change how you deal with NPCs and friends alike, and will add a brand new layer of complexity and tactics to combat and your experience, letting you shape and mould your characters into the people (or lizards) that you want them to be.

Next stop: Undead Origins!

Those poor cosplayers.

Swen rides currently on the wings of success. A man with millions in his pocket and joy for his own work has always much charisma, like a good looking woman in her 20ies.

My God, that booth is filled with a bunch of disgustingly overweight people. :lol:

Considering most gamers spend hours on their ass and probably have a job where they spend the day on their asses and most are too lazy to cook healthy food... It's no surprise.

I find it funny how Swen moves his head a lot when talking. :)

I wonder if they hit 1.5 will they add additional stretch goals?
If they reach it extremely fast maybe, but I'd hate to see them have too many stretch goals and half-ass most of them just to get them out of the door. (*cough* PoE *cough )

Imo the ones they have now are perfect but maybe they'll surprise us.

I'm guessing 2mil is doable. 3mil is fantasy. 2,5mil if the campaign will include YT celebs.

They will.

To quote the most recent relevant post:
The 1.5mil stretch goals are being kept under wraps for the moment. And we do have a plan of scheduled updates, but since the KS campaign has moved so much faster than we imagined, we ended up having to shuffle it around a lot. It's currently being editing, but we are working on more updates, which will give you a little more detail on the game and on the world that we're creating.

Anyway, I'm still shocked this KS is doing so well. A couple of weeks ago I had the feeling that starting the KS campaign before the Enhanced Edition of the first game comes out would be a terrible idea, but I guess I was completely wrong.

Since he likes to read the Codex every once in a while, I thought I'd give him something else to quote when he talks to Codex representatives the next time.
Fuck if you continue to search for hidden meaning in my post, then you might learn to decipher them. Nice one.

Given the fact that the projections are way too conservative (day 8 now, where's that final days surge nearly every kickstarter has for example?), this will make over 3,5 millions easily.

And thanks to the big spenders they still make about 45$ per pledge, so giving away a game that's a pretty safe investment for less than the 50 or so bucks they could get from all the hyped players of the first game doesn't look so stupid anymore, since they also get free backer feedback and early access has the stench of inaptitude all over it.
