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

[Kem0sabe]

Can we integrate mods into the main campaign? say new items, abilities, etc.

Or maybe get rid of this pathetic, overacted "emotion" animations of the npc´s.

 

[grotsnik]

I think they said there'd be a moddable copy of the campaign. So you can just freely bollocks around with it without running the risk of messing up anything important.

'feels like a modern Baldur's Gate'. Although if it helps the game sell...

No, it will not. "It looks like Skyrim" would help ALOT more.

Fix'd.

 

[felipepepe]

"Feels like Half-Life 3 mixed with Elder Scrolls 6 and the multiplayer element of Halo 5."

 

[Kem0sabe]

If only saves were compatible with the release version, i would start playing know, figure they wont change much of the start of the game.

'feels like a modern Baldur's Gate'. Although if it helps the game sell...

No, it will not. "It looks like BG:EE" would help ALOT more.

Fix'd.

Truly fix'd.

Hey,

I have no imagination, so I need help from some of you esteemed people? with input on these:

Divinity: Original Sin Personal Dual Dialogue

Please write the dialogue you would like to have with your partner in the game. If you play in co-op, your friend will also see this message.

Divinity: Original Sin Design An Item Combo

Please describe an item combination. Describe the ingredients (item A and item B) and what item it creates when you combine these two (item C). Also describe what the use is of this resulting item. Please try not to create uses that are too elaborate. Please keep your items within the fantasy realm. Item combinations can be two items that can be picked up and combined, or one item that can be picked up and one heavy, unmovable item (like an oven). Your item combination will be in the final game for everyone to find out.

don't make them to crazy, I want them to fit the lore

Blade + Rock = Dull Blade.

 

[Kem0sabe]

Lube + NPC = Sodomy

Here's a suggestion. Tried to make it as tame and non-Codexian as possible for mass consumption:

Spoiler

- Good morrow to you, oh wicked wench of the West.

- Skip the fantasy crap, lets get it on.

- I guess this is the bit where I cut you down and slice your ears off to keep as a trophy.

- You can try, although I've been going to those self defense classes with a butch lesbian so good luck with that.

- You know, I don't really like attacking women. But the plot demands it and who am I to quibble with the creatives?

- You'll get over it. Think of me as that nasty bitch from GOT.

- Wait a minute, what happened to the bikini armour?

- SJW's, they like to defend us delicate flowers.

- I thought Larian were bros.

- They need to to consider the huge numbers of teenage girls who play RPGs and don't like looking at bikinis. And Roguey.

- Very well, it pains my heart to do this, but prepare.... [aargh].

- Too slow old man. The trick with potential rapists is to castrate them when they least expect it.

krist2 here are two dual dialogue entries from that competition we held some time ago - see if you like any one of them:

Spoiler

Dual Dialogue

- Metro

"Have you ever had this feeling you were meant to be someone else?"
"Yeah… sometimes when I'm alone at night…"
"You want to be a dragon?!?!"
"What?! No, I was going to say a man (woman, depends on gender). You want to be a dragon?! You're sick!"

- Awakened Yeti

A: Where are all the children at?

B: Why do you ask?

A: Because I want to murder all of them!

B: Wait.. what?

A: I'm trying to get immersed in this shit!

B: And that requires murdering all the children?

A: Basically, yeh.

 

[Jaesun]

Man... I have not been excited to play a cRPG is a long long time. I cannot fucking wait to play this.

 

[pakoito]

Question for ForkTong or Stabbey: are player factions allowed in the editor? What would happen if I wanted to make a campaign with two (three, four) opposing player controlled parties?

Also, is there any chance for a cheat mode where one player could play as an spectator capable of spawning enemies, hence becoming a GM-driven game like you could do in Vampire:TM - Redemption?

 

[Black]

Fucking hell, can't find any decent dagger, meanwhile the game keeps throwing HUGE 2h swords at me.

 

[LeJosh]

The urge to play now is too much.

I had already got to the end of the murder mystery and then the beta situation killed my save.

I just know that if I play now the release candidate won't be compatible. 7 days, man.

I'm tempted :D

Hey,

I have no imagination, so I need help from some of you esteemed people? with input on these:

Obsidian Larian is not if they're still allowing people to submit these when it's supposed to be out in a week.

Of course they're not even content-locked (re: companions) so they're not even releasing a content-complete beta. It's a rebranded Early Access game you can complete.

Seriously, Roguey, try harder.

No, it will not. "It looks like DOTA2 done right" would help ALOT more.

Fix'd.

Truly fix'd.

How about now?

 

[Roguey]

There's nothing inaccurate about my post.

Fact: Obsidian had a hard deadline when it came to adding new content in their game.

Fact: D:OS is not content complete because they're still actively working on finishing new companions and the quests attached to them.

Fact: There are some early access games that are completable from start to finish but aren't finished, and D:OS is in this boat, only they're removing the EA part for a sales-boost (and because selling physical copies of an EA game would be too funny)

 

[Crispy]

And yet, somehow, I can't shake the feeling that D:OS is going to be a much better, more polished, and professional game than PoE will be.

I guess we'll see, huh Roguey?

 

[Roguey]

I really don't know how they'll compare content-wise, but Larian's systems are garbage. Case in point from previous page:

Fucking hell, can't find any decent dagger, meanwhile the game keeps throwing HUGE 2h swords at me.

Incidentally

One of those is mine.

 

[Crispy]

Too numerous large swords vs. impossible arches: which is worse and why?

 

[Roguey]

The one that has an impact on gameplay of course.
