Divinity: Original Sin Pre-Release Thread

[LundB]

Is there any chance of pledging for the game via Paypal or something? I don't particularly feel compelled to use kickstarter any longer after the whole Susan Wilson shitshow.

I think they're going to be setting up a PayPal button once the original 400K funding goal is reached. That's KS policy. So, should be in a couple of days.

Who is Susan Wilson?

That millionaire lady who wanted 900-odd dollars to send her girl to rpg camp, for the glory of feminism or something.
Basically, a kickstarter where someone asking for money had a face like this-

tl;dr: scam-shitstorm-femnazism and all that.

I really don't get why anyone should be butthurt over that. Anyone who contributed to giving some kid over $23k to go to an $839 camp and buy a laptop in the first place is a dumbass and deserves to lose that money. Dumbfucks get poorer, their cause isn't furthered at all, and some upper-middle class family gets a free mortgage payment thanks to their retardation.

Lo and behold, I readied an update
With stories untold and steady image rate
But I shall wait till the counter hits the 366
For the agony of man is what gives me my kicks!

The update song doth not be used!
Its evil tunes do not amuse!
Playing it dirty is what you do?
Then I shall raise that number to three seven two!

Nice little update, i didn't see the righteousness/contempt/empathy thing going that way.

 

[Zep Zepo]

Nice. Love that update.

@Larian,

How hard is it to have to go back and recode things to meet stretch goals? Being a programmer myself, I can't imagine having to go back and plug all that stuff in. It has to be a nightmare.

8282 backers, that is simply criminal.

So, the codex fundraiser of this thing, how does that shit work, can i still get the game or what?

For coders, it's doable. It's more work for the designers.

Nice update. Now all we need is a grappling mechanics super stretch goal.

Grappling slimes ahoy!

hasn't even reached its 400k price tag when Lord British almost doubled his asking price with a shitty NWN persistent world clone.

Throwing dwarves is where it's at.

We'll have to make a deal with Larian for that. Maybe we can do it here.

Will we get a cool icon under our forum avatar? If so, I propose "Anti-RatTailer".

Poke some famous youtube guys and poke more of the press!

I twitted Spoony yesterday about this nice game inspired by Ultima VII, but he ignored me (so far).

So much text. I wouldn't mind if not for the fact I'll probably be translating this update to potato, like the previous ones. Oh well, the price of fighting for . *sigh*

 

[General Maxson]

I think TotalBiscuit should have an WTF is Divinity: Original Sin. He seems to boost kickstarters a lot.

 

[Diablo169]

Hes already covered it about 9 months ago, his video is the second hit you get on Youtube when you search for the game. It would be great if he agreed to do another video but I don't know how likely that is.

They should send him alpha/demo, and he should do WTF is, 'cause that video ain't it. Hopefully he can play it a bit, and comment. He will probably do it then.

Some codex staff will let you know Swen. Crooked Bee?

 

[ForkTong]

Simple. We promise to try and raise a certain amount. You promise to namedrop us (the Codex) significantly in the game.

"Simple." That's how it usually starts.

Honestly, I'm not sure we should request any additional incentive(s) for our Divinity: OS fundraiser. It's already at $780/$1000 without even being featured on the front page! It's p. obvious it's gonna reach its goal anyway.

(Well, maybe if DU wants smth like that... Then he could arrange it himself. I've grown lazy.)

BusyBee has turned into LazyBee?

Just kidding.

 

[made]

Well, you could increase the goal some. Torment was like 5k.
