Divinity Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition

[DraQ]

because then you’re going boldly where nobody has been before.

I would say D:OS already did that with its environment design and how elements affect each other. At least I have not seen anything similar in any mid to large size game.

Bioshock? Magicka?

Didn't play Bioshock, don't remember people talking about any special innovations. Magicka is cool and probably a good example but it has less of everything than D:OS.

Many games (and mods) both new and ancient have had elements (heh) of this sort of interactivity, but save for stuff like Dorf Fortress none made it such an all-encompassing part of the core gameplay.

Behead those who whine about the cyseal market banter

One of the best things about the game, IMO. Wacky banter and dialogues is what makes Divinity Divinity.

I don't mind the banter itself but it's bad if it's just the same few lines repeating over and over with high frequency.

BG had the right idea by usually having 'em only say something if you click on 'em.

Though I admit I have a fondness for "So I kicked 'em in the head till 'e was dead!" the "arrow in the knee" of its time.

 

[Ausdoerrt]

Well, maybe the frequency could be toned down. Or perhaps they could have more one-liners - maybe they will in EE. Then again, the lines are hilarious, and I actually tend to repeat them out loud when walking though the marketplace. Is it just me?

"Heavenly herring, delicious codfish, yours for a scrap-o-gold each!"


P.S. What troubles me more is that the cheese-bro doesn't actually sell cheese.

I think he does if you grab the red handed cheese on the table, he'll offer to sell it to you. That's how the script is supposed to work anyway.

You gotta understand them. They're mostly basement-dwellers whose most prominent social achievement was their 8yo party, which mom imposed onto them. After, they refused to even have b.day parties, let alone go outside, let alone walk through a packed marketplace.

Please, do keep shouting in my ear!

No I do that too but mostly in Bioware games during romance. I got it from my mother who tends to talk to the tv.

Started replaying D:OS today ( again lol hope this attempt at replaying lasts longer than 2 hrs) and i found this epic loot very early in the game ! :D

Spoiler

It is safe to assume that this will let me hear NPC banter from further away !
Jokes aside rolled a Shadowblade(Scoundrel,Aerothurge,Witchcraft,Sneaking) Lonewolf with two henchmen tank pc with rascal AI and jahan , setting AI for sidekick improves gameplay a lot , gameplay seems way better when i dont need to read almost anything and i know where trait conversations are and i only manage them for main char , damn Cyseal is amazing starting location (if you can ignore the banter ofc ), most important is not to stand in 1 place too long so banter doesnt get repetitive , want to replay this before EE because on first playtrough i didnt have patience to finish and witness how bad the ending was lol , combat is still amazing and very interesting ( how long this will last is another question ) , also playing with different setup than last time so everything feels new

We caught up with Larian Studios' Swen Vincke to learn more about the work with the Enhanced Edition of Divinity: Original Sin and the fact that the studio may pull off a first - delivering a game on time!

"We're really happy that we got the chance to do [the Enhanced Edition]," says Vincke. "When you compare what's in the Enhanced Edition now to the original version of Original Sin, which was already a lot of fun, it's a completely different game. There's so much stuff that we've been able to polish. It's fully voice recorded now. The skills look flashier, feel more rewarding. You have a whole bunch of extra skills for the classes that couldn't really be explored that well in the previous game. Rogues can do more stuff. Warriors can do more stuff. Rangers can do more stuff. So it just feels like a more complete, let's put it that way."

"Then we've also been able to touch up the story in the weaker parts that we thought. We've improved quest that we though weren't as cool. We've improved the dialogues. We had generic dialogues in the past to save on the cost of it. Now we've made them all unique."

Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition will not only hit the new-gen consoles PS4 and Xbox One, but for anyone who owns the PC game it will be a free update when it launches. Much like Wasteland 2: Director's Cut.

"Currently we're targeting end of October [for release], says Vincke. It's already very far advanced, all the content is there, all the voice recordings are finally finished took us six months."

Hitting the release date "would be a first for Larian" said Vincke, but he clearly didn't want to jinx it adding "we'll see" at the end.

 

[Atchodas]

Rangers can do more stuff

Lol couldnt rangers already do everything with use of special arrows .. :D there are like 20 different ones lol

also i hope this class X can do more now doesnt force you to focus on 1 school only or something .. hybrid builds were the best ones in D:OS

Swen Vincke is such a nice guy, compared to for example Fargo he doesn't come off as pretentious while still making a niche game.

How exactly does Fargo come off as "pretentious"?

Maybe pretentious is the wrong word but I don't think he's as humble as Vincke

 

[ArchAngel]

End of October is very close to 10th November when F4 comes out. They don't want to compete vs F4

Well, he is the motherfucking Brian Fargo of "Brian Fargo Presents"!

 

[Atchodas]

Bah , they should tried to release these EE's and DC's in summer , such a stale time now for crpgs , and ofc autumn will have a new release every week

 

[Cyberarmy]

From their facebook page;
"Larian Studios is coming to Gamescom! If you are going to be next week in Cologne - please make sure to visit our stand: Deep Silver Booth Focus Home booth at HALL 9 B-021. We will have playable DOS Enhanced Edition for you! To make you more interested check out few fresh DOS EE pictures!"

[Abu Antar]

Enhanced DOS is cool but I really would like them to reveal their next project.

Deep Silver Booth

Huh? Not Focus Home booth?

 

[Infinitron]

Huh? Not Focus Home booth?

Talked to ForkTong, it's a mistake.

Maybe whoever posted that has been reading Wasteland 2 press releases? O_o

 

[LESS T_T]

Or maybe whoever posted that has been thinking about their super secret crowdfunding project with Deep Silver.

Spoiler

No. Please, no.

 

[Frozen]

Maybe its a little thing but I would like the most if they made more portraits in EE so it would fit the character you create.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Amazon is showing October 27 as the release date. Would make sense, I guess.
