Divinity: Original Sin 2 Pre-Release Thread

[J_C]

I keep feeling like they've forgotten to give us the alpha/beta access.

I suspect the game won't be released before 2017, so they have time to release the beta.

Anyone know if split-screen co-op will be supported from the get-go now?

Yes, I believe so. Possibly even dual monitor split-screen for four players.

Royalty and the Beast: Meet the Red Prince, heir to the Ancient Empire of the Lizards, and Beast, a dwarf whose life has been ruled by rage and violence - but now is governed by something else entirely...

I guess we have to see at least two more teasers like this.

 

[Infinitron]

Looks like they're timing their PR blitz to launch right after Gamescom.

[Mazisky]

Will they feature the promised day\night cycle in Divinity Original Sin 5?

 

[Grotesque]

Are there no Gamescom news? Do they have a stand there?

 

[Fry]

According to the last KS update, they have a least one guy there giving press demos. Doubt it covers anything we don't already know.

They're there. If you aren't hearing anything, I'd say there's a good chance there's some sort of NDA.

 

[LESS T_T]

I guess the NDA is quite restrictive.

We were invited also to watch a portion of Divinity: Original Sin 2. However, so far, we can not write about it, you know, however, that is very good. As soon as the embargo has settled, I attack you rather extensive article.

 

[Fry]

I'd rather not be attacked by his extensive article.

Apparently GameStar uploaded preview video exclusively for their "Plus" subscribers: http://www.gamestar.de/videos/divinity-original-sin-2-das-beste-rollenspiel-des-jahres,89798.html

At least we can find out Early Access (or alpha or beta or something) is coming in September.

The preview video shows the improvement in the second part. Revision was, among other things, the character creation and the round bout System. Also in the story and dialogues, the developers have put a lot of work. A new addition to the Arena mode is competing in the player to quick matches against each other. In September 2016, the game then takes in Early Access.

Have they shown anything about the Undead race apart from the concept art yet?

Thank you, Bill.

Damn, the lizards are big! They look almost double the size of a normal character.

 

[Daedalos]

Honestly looks like D:OS 1.5, more of the same, not much new stuff. Some of it looks like an elaborate mod for D:OS 1. Eh, not really too excited about this. The UI looks the same almost, the combat speed is still shitty slow, and the writing seems just as bad as D:OS.

Let's hope it has improvements elsewhere.

Still works for me.

 

[Bubbles]

Are we aware of any other public releases of the video?

[V_K]

Who'd have thought.
