Let's say I just found there is lets play and just trying to find a way how to save it on HD without advertising. Now I should probably finish Div OS before I'd read it, because I'd have strong problem to accept mere Larian like writing and story.

Go back and play Divinity OS. I just talked about more high end work of art.

Also Larian. IMPROVE THE FUCK YOUR WRITING.

Halfway through Cyseal on second run, still enjoying it. The game is not a particularly replayable one in the sense that there is not that much variety in character building and even less in the reactivity / order of exploration, but I think it's still worth 2 or 3 plays in the same way DivDiv was.

Yeah, I do wish somebody would tell Sven that whoever's been writing all this stuff since DD, well, they suck.

Overall I think the quality of the writing in D:OS is the worst they've ever had, though. It's way too wordy for its own good, I usually fast forward through most of the dialogues after just briefly scanning the texts for important bits, and it also has a few bits that are dumb. All that definitely wasn't the case for me in DivDiv and DKS, especially since those two had a much bigger emphasis on humour and parody throughout the dialogues.



But ultimately I don't give a shit.

the writing isn't Good but it's charming, silly and has heart. Could do with a bit more native-speaker polish like DKS had, and isn't as good overall as it or Dragon Commander, but it works perfectly well for what it is.

Hi guys !

I got a question about the end game

Do any of you guys have a clue about how to get further in the source temple? I'm kinda stuck there, when I got inside.. at the big doors with skulls on them :)

What class combos are you guys enjoying so far?

And what quest did you enjoy the most so far? :)

The story itself could actually be pretty good, in a slightly different delivery. Think Malazan/Black Company kind of dark humour. But obviously then it wouldn't be a Divinity game any more.

Seems i have hit a problem with unlocking rooms at the end of time and progression in the source temple.

to progress within the source temple and finish the game, you need to get 12 inert stones, unlocking the rooms at the end of time. But even tho i have collected 9 of them, i only have 6 rooms unlock, all the others never opened. So i'm stuck with no way to go forward.

Do I need to collect the inert stones? I am just unlocking stuffies ASAP (with blood stones..using them on the spot)...

Problem is that these books have more talented writing than anyone who works in video games possesses.

Each time you find a Starstone or use a Bloodstone, The button that teleports you glows and you can unlock stuff. There are 15 Star and Bloodstones AFAIK.

I didn't find any use to Inert stones.

There is a broken Bridge you could jump or teleport there and unlock the door that's almost blocked by rocks and teleport the new discovered room, Also a room that resembles a cell with Lava you could jump or teleport to,
main thing I think you need to do to advance, is thru the candles puzzle

Publishers think people are on vacation in summer, and are swimming, or trying to catch exotic diseases in Thailand.

At least over where I live everyone go to Thailand in winter.
Why not Canards, or Greece? It's much closer and Greek food is edible.

now that is where they go in the summer
