Divinity Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition

If I go to the tab on their character sheets with their "personality traits", ie. romantic, obedient, altruistic, etc. it is just blank now.

 

That is extremely weird, I have played many times with people in co-op where we were both lone wolf, and it never affected dialogue. Sounds like either a bug, an interface error that requires a reload, or dual dialogues turned off in options. Probably a bug if you have eliminated other possibilities.

 

Yeah, I double checked just now and dial dialogs was still enabled.

Both my starting characters were long wolfs. I will try it again right now.

 

That or picked loyal AI?

 

If you just started the game, you wouldn't have any dialogue traits because they haven't established themselves yet. Apologies if I'm misunderstanding, and that still sounds like a bug if dialogues aren't triggering.

Loyal AI should still have dialogue traits.

 

Must have just been a bug. I started over with two new characters, all I changed was a talent on each one to pick up lone wolf. I ran in real quick to get the book from the jumper's corpse, read it, and got the conversation which then worked.

No biggie! Still, I wonder if starting over with two lone wolves is a good idea or if I will get steam rolled later.

 

I get that, for some reason I was playing - and at first I hadn't noticed that I wasn't getting the conversation exclamation points. It was either a bug or a user error.

All good now.

 

Two lone wolves is the highest difficulty toggle outside of chipping it up to Hard--maybe even harder than that. You can ameliorate it with Glass Cannon which is a brokenly good trait that I hope gets either changed or removed, but it will be considerably harder than one lone wolf or even a full party.

 

Incidentally, not sure if this was posted yet, if it was, ignore.

Good video review. Usually hate youtube stuff, but this is that rare combination of breezy and entertaining and factual.

 

I was wondering where Shamino and Dupre were when I took that screenshot. No fucking shit, I'm not going to to play serpent isle for 15 hours so I can find a dungeon with a camouflaged 4x4x pixel gray button on a gray wall just so I can post a picture of it here

It's hard to browse any kind of gaming related site, forum or video that's not very obscure these days because you can guarantee that you'll feel pissed for the rest of the day and/or spend 2-4 hours educating morons for nothing. Fuck this decade

 

You've been exposed, you phony.

 

I had to restart my lonewolf combo, double man-at-arms and no elemental damage can only get you so far. Had to use everything in my inventory in every fight past lvl 5, and then scour the town to restock on potions and scrolls before venturing forth...
Ill leave that level of difficulty for a second playthrough.

 

Some clothes I stole didn't even have an icon and sold for 1 coin only!At this rate I'm not leaving Cyseal anytime soon.

 

I remember on my first game-start (I'm calling it this since I've restarted like 3 times before venturing far beyond any of the gates) looking around at all the shit in town and thinking that playing a thief would be incredibly fun. More games should pay this much attention to mechanics and item placement.

 

Fucking game. As soon as you think its gonna be a breeze, shit get fucking brutal. Hello F8, my favorite button on the keyboard.

 

I wish I felt this way. Invisibility not breaking on theft + spells breaking down all doors/chests 4eva made me wish thieves were better.

Off topic, but in terms of theoretical game design, I have a hard time imagining thieving "done right" in an RPG that allows multiple archetypes. How do you allow a thief to accrue massively more wealth without that unbalancing the game? So it's mostly fine here that everyone can steal if they want to try.

 

Get laid.

Or test if Kinect works on naked bodies. I heard it had some problems, you need to test it properly with friends.

 

Now that my dlc bonuses are showing up... is the Golden Grail used for anything or just phatty ducats?

 

Remember rule #1 in SW engineering: If you must ask, then no.

 

Probably some balance of expensive items having known ownership (e.g. paintings, have to find specialized art fence who can move the painting to private collector even if you don't model it past the fence) and diminishing returns for merchants--e.g. do I as a merchant REALLY need that 99th teacup even if its only one gold and my resale price is 5 gold?

 

It would've indeed been better if the prices matched the NPCs interest in the said loot. I actually compared the offers across several NPCs before selling my loot for the first time.

 

It makes armor golden colored.

 

But it's inconvenient and tedious if I can't sell all the rat guts and goblin skulls I've picked up to the nearest jeweler or blacksmith.

 

The trial-and-error puzzle at the Chamber of Burden is extremely disappointing. Why would they think anyone wanted this? I used the barrel and the book on the appropriate switches, but what do I need for the other two?

 

I found

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

the doctor's hidden hut in the north east

and my characters said they need to confront him, but he isn't in town. I'd assume but there's no mention of his fleeing or ability to report him to the guard captain. Was there supposed to be?

Also I couldn't find the dog after killing the wolves for him, and I'm pretty sure he survived. Where did he go?
