So how's everyone enjoying Divinity: Original Sin? Got it

Sorry, $32 is still way too much for an early access game.

Good job for getting it on "sale"

They're just so... eh.

Axes are cooler.

>>249279854
They're classy.

>>249279810
I'll join in on the fun after I'm done buying it.
One question though, is it anything like Dungeon Siege?
Because it looks like Dungeon Siege and I loved Dungeon Siege.

>>249279539
>easily over 50 hour cRPG with environmental interactions, innovative co-op gameplay, great humor and writing, great soundtrack made by a developer that is known for making fun games they want to play and always trying to make the best game possible

Is DS open world?

This one is open world with turn based combat and a party of characters.

>>249280034
Combat is turn based.

Can you make your own character in this game. I mean, like in Fallout 3/NV or Skyrim?

>>249280256
You make yourself and your companion.

You mean, like in any self respecting WRPG? Yeah

Just bought it, and vsync seems really bugged. Activating vsync makes the game constantly jump between 30 and 60 FPS, even with the frame limited at max. Deactivating vsync gives a smooth 60 FPS, but the screen tearing is pretty horrendous.

>>249280421

Thanks, i know it was a dump question. But I just wanted to be sure

>>249280831
Pretty sure that yes.

In what state is the game?
Mainly interested in single player so should i buy now with the sale or wait until release?

>>249279419
why would you pay for beta testing?

>>249279628
Kinguin is more than fine at least.

>>249280961
It's basically complete. Released in 10 days.

Buy it now, it won't get any cheaper than daily deal.

>>249280961

You can play through a large chunk of the game, but all your saves will die when the release hits.

Best to buy now and wait for release.

>>249279854
They're the best weapons.

>>249280342
>spears
>useful
>dependable

Spears are only useful on large scale battlefields in tight formations or hunting specific prey. They are not versatile weapons at all, which makes them the opposite of useful or dependable.

There's a reason everyone used spears all the time, and swords were tertiary weapons at best

How deep does the character creation go? Can you choose race, hairstyles, tit size etc?

>>249281476
No race options. But a whole bunch of visual ones, and a LOT of stat related ones.

>>249280927
I asked the same shit a week ago, mainly because originally the two characters were presets.

>>249281045
>>249280961

Played it for like a day before the latest update destroyed my save, but it's pretty cool. I figured out who snatched the body by talking to the victim's dog, which apparently isn't the "normal" way to do it.

My team was a female Spellblade or shadowblade or whatever the rogue/witchcraft combo was, and my male was a Wayfarer, which is like a druid/ranger/healguy. Once you start getting some points in speed, rogue characters can be all over the battlefield. They do low damage, but get to attack 5 or 6 times a turn, and have almost twice as much movement distance as anyone else.

I'm not sure if this is intentional or broken or what, but it seems you can easily exploit friendly or neutral NPCs by having one character talk to them while the other sneaks behind and robs their house and shit. Makes stealth hilariously trivial.

>>249281901
You can change hair color skin color, faces, and a few other things, but no tit slider.

Why doesn't someone just add blades to the side of a spear so it can double as a sword?

>>249282050
>no chance for dfc

>>249281175
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8RWLxlzTiM

This is rapier and buckler which is inferior to spear, longsword would be much more of a fair fight. But you can clearly see how dangerous a spear can be.
You are right though, spears are much more useful in a formation than in 1v1 fight, although they are a pretty decent dueling weapon.

>>249282039
I sure hope you don't think swords are anything other than shit tier.

>>249282136

Add two sword blades, one on each side?

Like that?

>>249282039
No, because they are much longer, faster and more useful than swords.
Swords were what pistols are today. A sidearm. You'd want to have one on you just in case, but can you imagine getting into actual war armed only with a pistol?
Maces, Flails, Warhammers, Spears and Halberds is where it at. Maybe two-handed swords like zweihanders or claymores in specific conditions. Rapiers are nice too, if only against armor. Regular longswords are what you wear in a city, so you wouldn't be completely without a weapon if you get jumped.

Backed the Kickstarter. I've avoided playing it until official release so I can experience it fresh.

>>249282372
Because that would add a ridiculous amount of weight making it too hard to hold it as a spear?

I agree with all of that except for rapier.
You wouldn't use a rapier in a combat situation.

Yeah, every backer got an early access copy. Any info you want?

>>249282465
>You wouldn't use a rapier in a combat situation.
Nigga, rapiers are godsend when you are dealing with armored dudes. They are thin and sharp as fuck, allowing you to thrust precisely into weak spots in their armor, like joints or holes. They are the best when dealing with faggots in full plate mail. Hell, if guy has particularly shitty chain-mail with big rings, you can stab trough it, too.
But outside of dealing with armor, their usefulness is limited. Like, you can still kill a man with one, but if he doesn't wear sight and movement restricting armor, it ain't gonna be easy

>>249282646
Are spear builds viable? Do spears confer any advantage in combat whatsoever?

>>249282748
Who cares?
It's Valve, not some good developer that deserves the money.

>>249282556
At the char creator now, yes you can.

>>249282873
Fuck off, you don't deserve to play on PC

>>249282819
The magic is fucking crazy in the game. And it's applicable in lots of scenarios outside of combat.

>>249282628
>You think they'd bother if everything else is better?
In an actual fight, yes, everything else is better. But you are not going to carry a fucking spear and a shield around you in-town, now would you? So you have to gitgud with the sword, too, just so you can defend yourself if shit gets hairy

>>249282959
Please take your Valvedroning someplace else.

>>249279539
Have fun paying $40 when it releases on the 30th

>>249282870
Ok, I didn't try spears. But from what I can tell the guy earlier in the thread complaining about them is right. They're a dexterity weapon, but you'd want a dexterity character shooting a bow or sanicing across the map backstabbing people.

>>249282962
I just still remember the horribly unsatisfying magic in Divinity 2.
Glad they're making some progress in that direction.

>>249282776
I am not saying that it's the best, I'm saying that you have no idea what you're talking about. Medieval times are sword centric, as is the renaissance. While you'd naturally want to use different weapons for different situations saying that a sword is useless is stupid.
Most of the armies were made from peasants. What is the best close ranged weapon to murder an unarmored crop planter from a horse? A fucking sword, that's what.

Landsknecht absolutely raped pike formations with their greatswords. Romans conquered the entire Europe by using a gladius.

>>249283142
Didn't play it that far, keeping myself pure for the final game

>>249283112
Then buy it now for cheaper and play when it's out you idiot
>not getting it till voice acting is on
Not everything will be voice acted

How does the dialogue works anyway if you play single? Do you choose one of the two heroes to be controlled by AI or something or are you just picking questions and answers for both of them? Also are the interactions between them and other NPC's good?

>>249282760
alright, not that far away.

>AI: Random or none

What does that influence?

>>249280961

The game is pretty much done and was originally planned to release today, it was delayed to the 30th in order for them to record some more voice acting lines.

It's on sale now so if you want it cheap then go for it now but there's no need to jump on it before release (outside of saving money) because saved games from the beta won't work on release version.

>>249283409
You're role-playing /v/?

>>249282848
A longsword is just as good for that, if not better because you can use it as a spear or even throw it. Rapiers were used when people stopped using heavy armor.
Although you might kill a guy in armor mostly due to speed. In one of the Medieval German fighting books it's mentioned that the only way to defeat a guy stronger than you is to not utilize strength because you will always lose, but use speed instead.

No, they conquered it using good training, turtle shields and SPEARS. You are not going to poke outside of your shield cover with a fucking gladius. The reason gladius is so remember is because of romans. It's not romans remembered because of gladius. It's still a good sword, but it's a side-arm.

>Landsknecht absolutely raped pike formations with their greatswords

And the problem with day1 DLC is that it's content made during development and taken out to sell to people.
This content was made as an incentive for Kickstarter backers.

>>249284293

Not really, it's a far past prequel to the other games.

>>249284254
Its not much diffrent than day one dlc, but its made so that the kickstarter rewards wouldnt be exclusive to kickstarter people and you'd have a chance to try them out too. Its not something thats been taken out and resold.

So is this version the full game or should I wait 10 days to pirate it?

>>249279854
Spears are fantastic weapons. One simple thrust instead of a swing and your enemy is easily fatally injured

>>249284464

You can only play about 1/4th of the game and beta saves won't carry over to the full release.

>>249284414

Not really, it was ok but the RTS section were really unispired and the 4X sections weren't tht great either.

I guess I was expecting too much from an hybrid game.

I don't remember seeing two handed hammers, but you have complete control over exactly how magical/physical your character is and any class can learn any spell, so you could definitely be very paladin-like.

I saw plenty of opportunities for zealotry in the dialogue options I came across. Both of the party members I recruited were pretty zealous as well, so you'd likely get along with them.

That wasn't the spear's fault

>>249284627
>Why do people never portray Romans with spears?
For same reason spies and special agents are portrayed with pistols. Because spears are boring and practical, while swords are cool and interesting.
That, and getting a kill with a sword was considered much more cool than killing someone with a spear, because you'd have to be very lucky or very skilled. Knight novels at medieval and Renaissance times popularized swords in main culture. Plus, when firearms became a thing, there were no use for a spear, but there were still uses for sidearms like swords. Although one can argue that a long musket with bayonet affixed is basically a spear itself

that's all nice and epics but the other Divinity games weren't turn based, this is like turning Diablo into a turn based game and telling people to "deal with it" because it's ok to rape franchises when you like it

>>249283896
>You are not going to poke outside of your shield cover with a fucking gladius
Except that's exactly what they did. Why do you think they used a scutum, a big shield if they mainly used spears? A sword was their primary weapon, the pila were a sidearm.
Archers were out of favour, and cavalry was lackluster because the stirrup came later on.
You know that they fought Mithridates, who heavily relied on phalanxes, and won using A GLADIUS?

>>249285249
No they weren't, but Divine Divinity was supposed to be at first and they've been wanting to make a turn based game for a long time

>>249285249
Yeah, its like designing Diablo for consoles and scaling down everything for it, nobody would do that.

>>249284627

Because pilum was primarly used in defensive formations or thrown at the enemy. The standard weapon for a roman legionary was a fucking sword. Why? They started with spears and fighting in hoplite like their idolized greekfucks had done before them. Then they figured out that this shit aint so good in shitty terrain. They copied the samnites swords and proceeded to rape europe.

But as anyone but a retard might tell you, an army isn't made up of ONE WEAPON ONLY. They'd have a ton of auxilia armed with spears/bows/slings what have you.

Another point is, war isn't fucking rock-paper-scissor even if rts games try to tell you differently.

You're right, but they didn't have the same mechanics either. They were all different from eachother and so is this game.

>>249282848

>>249281175
Spears are highly versatile, what are you talking about? You can pull it back if the enemy gets close and even aim your stabs at any part of the enemy's body.

>>249285297
>A sword was their primary weapon
Technically, the shield was their primary weapon.
Regardless, that huge ass shield was used for a very small period of time.
As was that armor design.

The roman empire used archers, slingers, cavalry, light infantry with spears and skirmishers with long weapons.
It wasnt these half cyborg heavy infantry tanks that you see in EVERY SINGLE MOVIE EVERY HOLY SHIT SO BAD.

A roman legionnaire looked just like the barbarian he was hitting for most of the existence of the empire.

Good luck getting a rapier through even the chainmail protecting the joints you daft cunt. Rapiers are basically just longswords hammered out to be even longer so all you're gonna do is break your own sword.

>>249285495
Unrelated to the topic you're discussing kinda, but are there any accurate depictions of what the roman legionnaires looked like? All I ever find when searching for it is the dudes with ornate helmets and lamellar armor and as you said, that's not really right

I will think about you while enjoying it, friend :)

>>249285602

>>249285495
A shield isn't a weapon, but I understand what you're implying and you're right. Of course they used everything, but a sword was their primary weapon not a spear(at least later on).

>A roman legionnaire looked just like the barbarian he was hitting for most of the existence of the empire.
Yes because barbarians weren't unwashed savages like R:TW wants you to think. They had good weapons and armor, formations(roman shieldwall was copied and taken directly from northern barbarians and then improved) but they lacked government.

The entire point of chain mail has ALWAYS been to stop from getting stabbed. There is no chain mail with huge rings that you can poke through.

>>249285745
Depends on the era. The ones doing most of the conquering would be equipped with a hamata, a Gaelic type helmet with a scutum and a gladius with two pila.

>>249285745
If you mean armor, they either wore just clothing and padding (archers, slingers, light cavalry) and a helmet, or a loose chain with some clothing on top of it and a helmet.
Their shields were ellipse shaped mostly, and smaller than the big square boards they are known for.

They would have mostly had short hair and shaven faces, as was fashionable until christianity kicked in.
After that it was all long hair and long beards, and armor got heavier, especially for cavalry.

The lorica segmentata wasnt used as much, despite everybody defaulting to it when talking about romans.

>The rapier began to develop around 1500 as the Spanish espada ropera, or "dress sword".The espada ropera was a cut-and-thrust civilian weapon for self-defense and the duel, while earlier weapons were equally at home on the battlefield
It was used as civilian weapon, no doubt about that, but it was also used on battlefields.

I thought that barbarians was greek or something and literally means "blah-blah-ians" because they could not understand them.

>>249286327
We dont know what it means, since it changed meaning over time, but most historians still agree that originally it meant people who sounded like dogs (bar bar bar) when they spoke.
So what greeks considered non-greeks to sound, most likely the slavs.
Later romans started calling germanics barbarians, despite them not barbarbaring as much when they speak.

Its worth mentioning here that we call hooligans "vandals" these days because of the romans and their dislike for germanics.

>Yes because barbarians weren't unwashed savages....

I meant they had barbarian oval shields instead of the civilized roman square shields.
I meant their shields were barbarian custom painted with whatever god or thing you like and not civilized standardized paint.
I meant they wore pants like barbarians and not the greek/roman robes or however they were called.
I meant they were armored with chain and clothing like barbarians and not with the lorica segmentata ot suits of plates like in the movies.

They were very much the same, and it went both ways: barbarians improved their fighting and gear to match the romans, and romans downgraded their elite force to match the barbarian numbers with cheap gear and cheap men.

The roman empire was started with roman legionaries™, but was expanded and maintained by germanic soldiers.
Roman soldiers were barbarians paid with roman gold and looked the part.

Slavs first encountered the Greeks during times of Byzantium so that is not plausible. Although they could have easily thought the same of Thracians, Illirians, Dacians.
Fun thing is, Slavs even nowadays called Germans "mutes" (nemec) because they couldn't understand them in their initial contact.
Vandals were a Germanic tribe, they ransacked Rome, destroying pretty stuff just because. From then on anyone who demolished shit for no reason was called a Vandal.

You can know how to make thermite or perform CPR, but your character doesn't. Same goes for attacking. It's not you who fights, it's your character. You just give him pointers, and that's quite a mess in real time. The only one who did it sorta well is WoW, but even that was bland and just spamming attacks. To perform impressive acrobatic tricks by several characters at once, you require turn-based gameplay

It's the best game in 10 years.

Why do people hate turn-based games so much?

You remind me of my friends from elementary school.
Jesus Christ, those faggots were retarded.

>>249287385
It's well worth it and you can get it for less on key sites.

>>249287369
Because it's better for many things than real-time :)

>Why do people hate turn-based games so much?

Because it's the mark of a lesser quality, less fun game. It pretty much always has been. It's why I skipped over final fantasy to play baldur's gate and icewind dale.

Hope you enjoy the game anon :)

Fuck off mate, I have ADHD and if anything turn based is easier for people like me since you don't have to be super focused and micromanage shit.

I like TB because it lets you take things at your own pace
