Divinity: Original Sin Beta Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO THE NEW THREAD]

[Sensuki]

I have an i7 870 and a HD7970 and I get 90 fps solid-ish, which isn't bad. Double what I get in Wasteland 2 and Grim Dawn.

 

[Perkel]

That bloke has some seriously ridiculously huge forearms and shoulders.

Yeah it is imo one of the problems in DOS with art. Thief like character looks ridiculous

So, some important stuff from Larian regarding claiming your rewards in Wave 1:

Divinity: Original Sin is going to release on June 30th and that means we’re getting ready for fulfilling all rewards. If you haven’t done so already, we’d like to ask you to fill in your account details on the Larian Vault by Tuesday, June 24.

Important information about your rewards

If you’re entitled to physical rewards, you need to fill in the physical address to which you’d like us to ship your rewards.

For those of you who had a T-shirt in their tier, you can now choose size and gender on the Larian Vault.

For everybody who’s ordered a physical edition of the game - Standard or Collector’s - you may choose to receive a non-Steam DVD INSTEAD of a DVD which requires you to use Steam to play the game.

We’ll only print these DVD’s once the game has gone live (as we’re still working on it) meaning that we’ll only be able to send these DVD’s a few weeks after release.

For the avoidance of doubt, choosing the non-Steam DVD option doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to play the game on release, as all backers with physical goods in their tiers will receive a digital download code on the digital platform of their choice (Either Steam or GOG).

Please be aware that the Steam version is the version that currently has the best support for multiplayer, and is also the version that will be updated the quickest.

So, for those that haven't sent me any account info yet - when sending me your requests, please check if you can set up sizes etc on the site directly. If not, I guess you have to tell me whether you're XS or XXS in a PM as well as the type of a disk that you want if you plan to get physical.

And yeah - I will be sending out the list latest on Tuesday, and more likely some time late afternoon/evening/night Monday so they have time to fill in all the info to your accounts and ship stuff out. So, hurry up. If you don't make it by the evening (EU evening) of Monday, you'll likely be getting Wave 2 physicals.

 

[Turjan]

So this is only for physical rewards at this point, I take it?

I'll probably have to make second Vault account for my key.

 

[Angthoron]

Yeah, I'd imagine that for keys only the urgency isn't quite as great.

 

[Zeriel]

Though now I'm curious what % the promancers make up of the total amount of backers of these Kickstarted RPG's. There sure seem to be a lot of them.

Or they're just vocal. Keep in mind in any community, the people who post in forums/comment sections represent about 1% (at most) of the actual people.

 

[Disgruntled]

Is the dlc worth buying?

Got the base game with the sale, might pick up the extras for a discount if its worth it.

 

[pakoito]

It's just cosmetics and soundtracks and stuff.

 

[Hobo Elf]

I've been playing a bit with the character creation and I love it. It's simple and fast paced, but it also gives you a great amount of diversity and depth to make exactly the kind of character you want. Played the game just a teency weency bit as well and everything I saw was so good. This game shames SRR by doing everything it did so much better. I can see this game having a strong mod community.

I am quite interested in this game but still unsure due some rumors I heard that Larian is forced to cut some content for the game to appease certain very vocal interest groups.
Probably going to wait until all the reviews start coming up before I hand over my dosh.
Very interested in this game since it is among the few turn-based games that look quite polished this year.

Do explain.

 

[Loriac]

Possibly a reference to the cutting of the day/night cycles?

Other than that, I'm not aware of anything major being cut.

 

[Jack Dandy]

He's talking about the whole bikini armor thing that they took off the cover art after SJWs did their usual whining and bitching.
I remember one of Lar's artists was quite against that, and I can definitely understand him.

I myself don't understand why Swen thought it was important to listen to some idiots on Twitter..
But, what's done is done, and I don't think it's enough to put the entire game down because of it.

Ah, so something that will have a profound impact on the gameplay then...

 

[Jack Dandy]

Yeah, that stays the same, and there's still bikini armor and stuff like that in the game itself. None of that was removed.

But- I still wonder why Swen thought that was a good decision to make. ForkTong , would you clear that up?

 

[Infinitron]

Because they didn't want Kotaku and RPS launching a hate campaign against them, duh.

 

[Jack Dandy]

Nah, these sort of sites usually only do that when you give them ammo- ie: if you bother replying to SJWs and give them some words that they can twist into clickbaiting headlines.

But, I digress:
What's done is done. I can assure FuriousGamer87 that the game is already in fucking tip-top shape and is looking to be one of the best RPGs in years. If you let this sort of relatively inconsequential thing bother you, it's honestly your loss.

That depends. The ingame stuff seems meh, but i'd get it for the sonundtrack and design documents. The developer's diaries book included in the Divinity anthology was a great read.

Allah be praised. Someone over there has backbone.

What makes you think it was SJW and not more conservative forces? Have you not heard of the slut walk? Women have a right to wear sexy clothing, don't you know?

I think this calls for a femen protest at Larian HQ.

Absolutely. Chainsaws and boobs!

 

[Angthoron]

Does anyone have contact to Villain of the Story? He got banned for his shenanigans with mass-PMs, but he's got a $25 pledge with his name on it and is ENTITLED to a copy of a game to rub in his face for coming out SO MUCH SOONER than that game he mass-spammed about.

Funny thing - my GF (who is as hyped for D:OS as I am) said that the version with bikini armor was better.
