Divinity: Original Sin Pre-Release Thread

I'm confused. Are NPC schedules going to be scripted or systemic behaviour? I thought it was the latter?

Systemic, but this video was demonstrating that the "Stealing" system takes into account different things like "can you be seen", "are they the owner", "is the NPC a merchant", "How much do they like you", "have you been caught stealing before". Systemic means that all those checks will be automatically made, so the programmers won't have to write those scripts each time for every NPC.

It's a bit more work for the NPC schedules, but once there's a system up for that, then it'll be comparatively easier to just plug in storefront into the 'destination' field in "NPC.onwakeup(destination)" than to write the onwakeup() function for every individual NPC.

So the quality of the item counts when stealing? Not having the town turn against you for stealing an apple

 

[Jashiin]

so ForkTong, when moving items in a shop you will get a warning and that's fine.. but will they clean it up ? Or is it possible to throw all shop items to the floor and will they lay there for the rest of the game ?

managed to get my paypal in before the cut off date.

Will it have ultima underworld like 'dislike' indicators instead of just numbers like DD? Because i much prefer 'peaceful' 'stressed' 'upset' 'hostile' to that numeric crap that you'd only use to calculate how far you could push it if you were a tremendous dork with the stealing formula in front of you.

 

[Smashing Axe]

I hope there'll be some benefits to a low reputation, it shouldn't be all negative like it was in DD. Low reputation could help with acceptance in the criminal underworld, and make people more likely to hire you to go on quests of a questionable moral nature.

I hope Monday brings in the final "Stretch Goal Progress" graphs.

 

[Mangoose]

You should see my bass player. Second one from the right.

 

[Arkeus]

You all look so pleased with yourselves.

 

[Zed]

well it's a much better band photo than "pre-murder stare-down."
this is more like... "we'll buy you a beer! but it may be drugged and there might be rape."

 

[Infinitron]

lol token asian guy

 

[Jack Dandy]

"What direction should I be looking at?"

 

[Smashing Axe]

He kind of looks like JarlFrank without the beard.

ForkTong I think an Asian dude photobombed your long-haired european photoshoot. It's very subtle, I can see why you might not have noticed.

 

[taxalot]

I often ask myself why do asian guys keep acting so superior all the time ; sometimes, it's just because they are !

There is also an old lady with a fake 'stache.

I was immediately reminded of my favourite photo of one of my favourite bands (Clawfinger), which I can't find right now, but here's another pretty good one:

[ForkTong]

He wasn't a real knight to start with, was he.

 

[Mangoose]

Spoiler

Nope, Sturm went to join the Solamnic Knights at first, but left during his trials because he didn't like the Knights' preoccupation with themselves, realizing that his companions were doing more to help the world than the Knights. Right before the above battle, finally, he was knighted.

I, myself, didn't make the cut. My samples were promising, but my English isn't fluent. Maybe in the future. Maybe.
