Divinity: Original Sin Pre-Release Thread

[Jaesun]

No. DU only sells user info here to Lithuanian Hitmen. And thanks to the latest BRO's who just donated, we are now in the lead.

Update on Codex vs Watch. They are now kicking our ass in funding.

More jews there. It actually makes Codex money worth more when people here give despite not affording to.

More like they hadn't participated in site fund raisers before, so they have some pocket change, while Glorious Codexia has raised around 30K in moneys and is still in process of recovering from Torment KS.

Shitty time by Larian, though, they should've at least not overlapped this much with Torment KS, and let theirs run at least one week into May.

We've got over 12000 backers now . The dungeon grows to three levels.
lso, am I wrong or was there a rather sudden +$5K jump in the pledged amount (558 to 563)?

Agreed. I (too) would've been able to pledge much more had it not been the timiing they chose.

 

[Zeriel]

Maybe the guy who took it away before put it back?

They don't have a fancy realtime system to keep track of the donations though, so it's a bit early to celebrate. It's time VOTS some suicide spammer should risk righteous flogging by DU i say.

You are wrong.

Overview of add-ons and reward tiers

Update #20 · Apr 20, 2013 · comment

No new content in this update. Instead a handy list of add-ons and rewards, as requested by the Weresheep Of Original Sin.
Shipping physical goods

• All physical goods ship free if you are in the US or Europe. If you live in Europe, you need to select US shipping when you pledge. We'll know from your address that you're in Europe, so don't worry.
• If you already added an extra amount to your pledge to cover the shipping cost and live in Europe, you can remove the shipping cost by using the "manage your pledge" button.

Dragon Commander inclusion

• Every tier above 95$ as well as the 95$ digital tier receive a copy of Divinity Dragon Commander. The physical 95$ tier does not get a copy of Divinity Dragon Commander.

• Lower tiers can get a copy Divinity Dragon Commander by adding 40$.

In closing

This video is not getting enough views. Nor is this one.

 

[Coboney]

You forgot the most important part of an update!

Spoiler

Really though a boring update if needed. I hope they do another today - something to help push interest.

 

[Jaesun]

Weekends are mostly always slow.

 

[Angthoron]

They should tell the public about the epic battle between Codex and Watch.

 

[Diablo169]

Totalbiscuits about to record Divinity. I'd imagine we'll see the video soon.

 

[ForkTong]

I'm gonna start playing with him in approx one hour.

 

[Murk]

Respect to ForkTong for his response, not gonna bother responding myself -- he did a better job than I could have.

Here's hoping more funds keep coming in from all these youtube LPs.

 

[Jack Dandy]

ForkTong, don't forget to mention the singleplayer and level editor this time round, ah?

 

[ForkTong]

I already did a playthrough this afternoon and I sure mentioned it, don't worry But as I said before, they edit these videos afterwards.

any info on when he will upload it? i can't wait!

Actually, D:OS Kickstarter is doing relatively well today: $9200 in 16 hours so far.

I would bet that most people on codex believe that games are more than a fun waste of time. You don't keep bitching for years how the video games declined if you don't think games are more important than cheap entertaiment. If someone want to find people that think that games are only cheap entertainment you only need to look the millions who buy CoD, Gears of War and other souless, marketing driven bullshit. I felt good while playing Larian games, they have a good sense of humor and are made with evident passion (you only need to hear the update song to understand why) . Admiring other people work and passion for what they do, don't make you a LARPER.

 

[MicoSelva]

Already $10.7K today. It seems that mere mention of the game on TotalBiscuit's Twitter did a lot, as he has 175 000 followers, much more than I expected (Spoony, for example, has 34 000).
His YT video could do wonders for the campaign.

 

[deamento]

so would the podcast he does (if jesse cox uploads his video aswell)
when he and jesse both talk about a game, the website is bound to crash

 

[Zed]

From Totalbiscuit's twitter:

Just did a big session with the pre-alpha of Divinity: Original Sin. That game is crazy. Doing solo commentary rather than with a dev
Summoned an ice elemental, it got killed and turned into a patch of ice, which I then slipped on when I was trying to run away
Then I melted the ice with a fireball, the orc slipped in the puddle of water and was then wet, so he was more vulnerable to electricity
Also anyone standing in that water get hit by electricity. Yeah... there's some depth to this RPGs combat.

 

[deamento]

and now he needs to upload the video so larian can get more money!

I'm sure they will get quite a bit more. He seems very positive about the game.
