Divinity Original Sin 2

White male paladin.

When being a lizardman is an option, why even ask?

>>388513554
Does it have that gimmick again where you have to roleplay two characters at once?

I want to play Undead, but they haven't released any info. Is it going to be a gimmick class that changes dialogue/interactions, like Nosferatu and Malk?

>>388513659
No. You only create one this time for single player.

If you do multiplayer (up to 4 players), each player gets to customize his own character.

Oh man. I am gonna be so occupied over the next 2 months.

>>388513770
This for the second.

>>388513791
Have one character (or both) have telekinesis, then fill a chest with barrels that have water in them. Drop the chest on enemies for a shit ton of damage if not outright killing them since the heavier something is, the more damage it does when it hits something. Maybe have one of your characters have magic to stun enemies for an easier time.

>>388513847
Thank g-d.
I started the first game recently, and it's pretty good, reminiscent of NWN I used to play back in my school days. But playing solo with two different main characters is kinda exhausting. I really wish I had enough time to play this game in co-op. And I wish I still had friends.

This game is currently in EA.
What is missing between now and release?

>>388514109
This is only act 1. It's also missing a playable race and couch coo. And tons of mechanics that will be in the full game. They have all the things that will be implemented in the full game on their youtube channel as well iirc.

>>388514109
Everything but Act 1.

Can I play comfy couch coop with my gf on PS4 again like the first game?

>>388514109
F EA wasn't traditional EA for this, where you got an incomplete full game that they kept adding content to. It was more like a long demo that got mechanics tweaks and bug fixes over time.

>>388514240
Yep.

Devs are launching a new kickstarter almost immediately after the game, and they said it won't be Div:OS 3. Wonder what it will be? Do they have any other old franchises they might revive?

>>388514225
>>388514234
>>388514246
Got it. Gonna buy it on release then. Keep myself occupied with Xcom for now.

I'll play as a skelly because of Avellone

Can we really play as undead versions of each race or has an anon just made that up?

>>388514387
It might be for the enhanced edition. I don't think Larian have anything other than Divinity games, they might do another Dragon Commander or something completely new.

>>388514695
I think there is just going to be an undead race, like a skellington or a lich.

>>388513554
Are these the only 5 characters we're getting?

>>388514790
No. We can still make custom characters. Those are just the promo characters like they used in the first one.

>>388514695

It was one of their kickstarter goals but i have found zero information about it what pros and cons the undead race gives.

>>388513554

Lizard rogue probably. Is Unarmed a skill in this?

>>388515558
No, I mean they're the predefined characters, Lohse, the Red Prince, Sebille, Ifan and probably some Dwarf one that hasn't been shown yet, but are there going to be more of those guys?

>>388514773
>>388514695
Its in the game files that there is a skellington for each race.

And I don't see why not allow us to. We already know there are skeleton models for each race.

>>388514720
I wish they would bring Dragon Commander as it was originally intended and added something extra on top of it. Since Larian has 130 people now, they can afford to do sideprojects while maintaining post-release schedule.

>>388515795
There might be a part of the game where you die and walk around as a skelly, which would explain the models existing without a proper undead race

>>388515956
I'd love another Dragon Commander. If they make another one I hope they flesh out the non-combat parts more.

>>388515697
Every "origin" can be a companion, so there's probably going to be an undead as well

>>388515979
I believe those are undead npcs' models. I haven't played much but remember fighting them in some swamp. Also Matt Mercer used undead models in DM mode during GM stream. Hopefully, those are available to the player as well (4 races + 2 genders = 8 models total with some tweaks) but voicing them all would be a pain in that case as well as tuning undead specific armor for each race.

>>388513554
You have to shill harder bro!

>>388516519

>>388513554
I really like the idea of the Inquisitors mix of melee and necromantic abilities, but there are fuck all for necromancy abilities (at least from when I last played). Also I hate the races passive stat boosts. I want to be a human magic user but that's objectively inferior to a Lizard magic user.

Papa Bones.
By the way, they said mods would be supported, how true is that? Can I create brand new classes and spells and playable races? Or it's just mix and matching existing things?

>>388513770
can you really be a skeleton?

>>388521041
The first one had mods that changed skills and talents and the like, so with more support there will most likely be even more stuff like that.

>>388521087
Yeah, you can.
Atleast I hope they are and not some pale skinny homo shit.

>>388521041

You should be able to do a lot of stuff. At least having a proper toolset was one of the Kickstarter goals. First game also had some mod support but apparently the tools were pure pain to use, this time they're trying to make them usable for normal people. There's also an extensive DM mode.

>>388521087

Undead/skeletons are one of the races in the game/setting. Afaik they are an actual race with long history, not just random resurrected members of other races.

>>388521041
Yep. New spells. You can even import new particle effects.

How long till nude mods come out?

Few questions if anyone can answer!

>How many acts
>What are the playable races
>Playable classes
>Can I customize my own class?
Also is this a direct sequel to the first game? I never truly beat the game, just made it to end game.

>>388521087
Yeah. They were a race in Dragon Commander.

>>388522146
3 Acts. 2 is considerably longer than the other acts. Human, Dwarf, Elf, Lizard, Undead. There's like a dozen classes, but they mean nothing. The classes are just prefabs that you can completely throw out the window during character creation. They're more or less just there for people who aren't good at making their own classes and want a starting point.

>>388522146
>What races can I play?
>There are five races to choose from, each with their own abilities and tags: Human, Elf, Dwarf, Lizard and Undead.

>What do you mean by a classless system?
>You can fully customize stats, abilities, talents, and skills. You can also choose one of our pre-set classes for ease of use!

Really hope the skeletons don't look like shit, and have something unique about them for being UNDEAD and they're not just functionally identical to the living. It's kind of worrying how we know nothing about them so far, other than that they wear masks.

>>388523091
You get access to the first act, minus one playable race and one or two companions. The rest of the game will release next month, but I don't think save files from the pre-release version will work so you'll probably have to replay a chunk of it.

>>388523381
That's fine by me, at least it's something to do it and test stuff out

cool, thanks

>>388523239
>and they're not just functionally identical to the living
Healing magic damages them, poison heals them.

>>388523239
They heal from poison and damage from heals.

Which basically makes them shit

>>388513554
Probably gonna start with a character who relies heavily on summons to do their fighting.

I always like playing summoner-type classes that have minions to do most of the work for them. Not sure if it's gonna be a literal summoner, a necromancer or something else yet though because a lot of the specifics about abilities in certain skill trees aren't available yet. But yeah, definitely gonna summon something, probably several somethings (on that note I really hope you can have more than one summon per character this time, swarming the enemy with 3-6 weak skellies or lesser elementals could be really fun, though I imagine that if it is a possibility it will come from a late game ability for the sake of balance).

>>388523559

Fuck no. In the first game, the undead trait was OP cause you could heal yourself with all types of poison spells.

In this game it'll probably be more of the same. Some sort of poison spell is gonna be low cost and make the skelly op af.

>>388523559
I doubt they would default/force the zombie trait to them. That basically invalidates a lot of necromancy builds for undead, which would make no sense.

Since I'm pirating it and playing by myself, I'm doing this.

>>388526238
This worries me the most. A lot of the skills are beyond broken. Rogues can end up in a near-unlimited turn situations, and then there's also low-risk high-reward skills like the elf racial.
I heard they nerfed teleport recently, but with less than a few weeks until release, I doubt they'll fix them in time.
Sure, the original also had bullshit stuff pre-patch (stacking resists past 100% to heal from them), but at least those took some serious time investment to reach.

>>388526961
If you can afford it you should buy it. Larian are good guys.

>>388526961
Good taste right here.

>>388526725
Understandable. I also argued with my friends on how to not kill eachother (we still ended up doing it multiple times).
In the end, our tank went full 100% fire/poison resist, so he could withstand the explosion combos.

>>388513554
Human Conjurer, I wanted to play dwarf , but the walking and running animations look stupid. I'm looking forward to the romance system.

>>388527073
Oh yeah I will, I bought the last one don't worry bud.

>>388527030
They said they want the game to be fun and about role playing, if that meant that some combinations were overpowered than so be it. They just didn't want some variations to be completely worthless and make you have to restart you game because you didn't mixmax from the start. I'm -hoping- the higher difficult make even the most ridiculous combos even or less than the battle difficulties.

>>388513554
Lizard Polymorpher, cant decide if Red Prince or rando lizard tho.

Also still hope for them to make a head option that looks like OPs pic, they made one for all the other characters

Question is what class, afaik there are plenty of leap abilities but no jump attack so how am i gonna make a jumplar?
right now im thinking polymorpher might be a decent choice with the wing jump also it scales with strength and the squid attack looks fun

>>388527540
this game you don need to take seriously
i have the ea in this kind of game you run around and play with world cause you can interact with so much crap

>>388527030
The last patch was released in May, they had enough time to fix it.

>>388527540
>every time you make a char you can't help but playing a poly elf rouge
Honestly that's the players fault. The first three times I played the beta I had a wonderful experience with making characters and combinations. I only realized after on the fourth one that you could skin/reset/ combo chain kills, and it still made my character more of a scoundrel than anything else.

If they want to fix it they can just put skin graft at a higher rank, problem solved.

>>388513554
I love what they did with stealing and pickpocketing. The NPCs actually recognize if they were robbed and start asking to search your shit. If you have what you stole in your inventory youre in for some trouble. If you steal from the same place a couple of times all of the NPCs in the area will start going nuts and running around looking for you. Ive played the EA tons and there is so many different ways to do things.

Every time I play I figure out something new, like pickpocketing a key from an NPC you'd normally have to do a major quest for to progress to earn the key. You can seriously play however you want, its the perfect roleplaying game IMO. Really cant wait.

There is some kind of jump ability, Phoenix Dive. Jumps up into the air and you come down on a target and set the surrounding area on fire. Also used Blitzattack for jumping from target to target for a sort of quick jumping thing too.

But that's wrong you fucking retards
On Divinity OS1, skeletons get healing like usual while zombies ( boars, humans, anything with decaying flesh that spreading poison on contact) works like you said.

Chance to work in a different way are pretty low, unless we can play as actual zombie but i don't think so.

>>388525071
CUTE

>>388528381
Not quite the same but i see your point.

Blitzattack is a figher ability right?
I dont realy wanna go fire mage, imo its the least utility heavy of the elemental magics and just for haste its not worth it.

also unrelated
>Hats

Has anyone noticed how fucking amazing Divinity OS2s hats are?
If you are in early access, boot up the game, look through the classes and enable the Helmet option.

The armors in OS2 look fairly good, but the Hats are amazing

For some reason tho the physics effects appear to be disabled in the actual game

>>388528748
Both Phoenix Dive and Blitzattack are Warefare skills, yes.
A lot of physical abilities get things like fire and shit so that people that don't take elemental stuff can take part in the environmental effects game. I also added in some necromancy for lifesteal stuff to keep my ladydragoon a little self sufficient.

>>388528989
huh Phoenix dive definitly wasnt warfare in OS1, neat to hear.

They're just shy skellingtons. You could say they lack backbone.

>>388532275
Because it can allow you to interpret them any way you want instead of giving you a reply you might find too edgy or something. I'm quite interested to see how VA was applied on top of that. Have they really rewritten everything or we've got a narrator?

I think it means everyone except the protagonist(s). You do probably get a wide repertoire of sound clips, but the protagonist doesn't have dialog lines per se, right?

I still think full VA is an utter waste of money for a game of this scale. Gothic did it ages age, but it was also a very different game with much greater focus.

>>388532930
>>388532965
they don't have the budget to VA every single player character dialogue option
but for everything else they are ready, they apparently have four, fucking FOUR VOICE ACTING STUDIOS to spread the work out on
I wonder how the fuck Larian managed that

>>388532512
Honestly though, D:OS is always going to have these silly divides. There are those who understand what the game is and enjoy the full experience.

And then there are those who buy it because they want fantasy X:COM.
And then there are the guys who want western fire emblem.

He is not wrong though. DOS had a lot of pointless dialogue. They were long for the sake of being long without providing anything useful.

>>388533417
It's fluff, though. People are simply too used to short lines giving the bare basics they need to progress.

Went in to test some shit, apparently stuff like Mosquito Bite still heal you, even if you take Zombie. Not sure if bug, or intended. I recall Blood Sucker still damaging you though.
A mix of Necro/Geo could be fun, rain blood then immediately infect it.

Both Geo and Necro have a skill that turns all liquid surfaces to poison. (Necro can further spread it as disease, lowering constitution)
The Geo one can be taken straight from level 1.

I don't remember DOS:EE having particularly bad VA work at all. Pretty much everyone felt like they were putting in effort, which is all I ask for a game with so many lines to record.

>>388533869
He's suffering from post traumatic cheese disorder.

>>388532512
I kinda agree with him on the first game. The writing was pretty bad in a lot of parts, and the voice acting was grating. I skipped a ton of dialogue and I'm usually not a guy who does. Plus, they repeat things so fucking often. Every Immaculate you meet feels the need to reexplain the same immaculate philosophy you've heard 1000 times to you.

But improved writing is something that they made a big deal about this time, so hopefully its not so bad.

>>388533156
It will, but the game has workshop integration, so you might want to bite the bullet and get it on Steam anyway. A lot of mods will appear on the Nexus, but inevitably a lot won't also.

I said it before and I'll say it again - Avellone's impact cannot really be felt unless he's a project lead or at least lead writer. His contribution otherwise just painfully stands out or blends in because he makes it fit the overall writing style. Did you know he wrote for FTL?

I hope there will be wacky shit like in the original. I remember finding this huge barrel in Cys tavern, which didn't take damage from fire surfaces.
Ended up carrying it on my warrior, dropping it on enemies dealt quite some damage, invested in TK, then I had an unstoppable barrel throwing machine.

Time to post this webm again.

>>388534737
Divinity games have ALWAYS been wacky. Doesn't meant they didn't have serious stories, but Larian's approach was always to contrast the two. Which doesn't really sit well with some players who are simply unaccustomed to it. For them a SRS BSNS is a SRS BSNS game.

>>388534932
>Doesn't meant they didn't have serious stories
The skellington civilization dying out in the timeline after Dragon Commander was sad.

>>388534737
They seem to have toned down the wackyness in OS2 but I've only played the EA. Its still there but not as prominent.

>>388534737
Why cheesing games is so FUN

How do I into DOS?
I just started the game and feel so underpowered.
I have no money and everything costs billions. What's even the point of identifying glasses, if they cost more than identifying items directly at a vendor?
Enemies can often just one shot you, and healing items and magic is very scarce.

Avellone already wrote for Prey but Larian never went outside of making even a non-Divinity Game and Sci-Fi at that.

How many players in the arena mode? Can we do 4v4?

Also, do you use your story character, pick from presets, or create someone new with a fixed number of points.

I know it will be unpopular, but I hope they force presets. There is no way that this game can be properly balanced for PvP otherwise.

It's okay. Not phenomenal but okay. Loads better than the bloated mess that 4E became.

>>388537720
I stopped following it around the time 4E came out. Although I did found some of the changes to be nice and some even crucially needed and long overdue, like the changes to the saving throws. But they butchered the Great Wheel cosmology so horribly I lost all interest.

I reckon it's the best version of dnd.
It is simple and streamlined, or at least it was back when it was released.
I expect, like all of them, a bunch of extra rules and shit will bog it all down a fair way..
I was in the dndnext playtest and watched it evolve, I can't say I liked everything they did, but for the most part, it is a pretty sturdy ruleset.
Mages becoming gods will always be an issue tho!

5e combines both.

In truth, 5e seems more about providing options for a DM to worldbuild rather than provide a concise and well-defined whole by itself. The amount of fluff is staggering, but it doesn't change or break gameplay with new rules as much as 4E did.

You want your warlock to serve a hyperintelligent AI from the far future? Done. Refluff core abilities and here's a handful of unique but not game-breaking features.

Its like modding a custom scenario in real time.

So say there is a scenario where the players need to find a cave or something. One of the players has the idea to ask a hunter in town if he knows where the cave is. The GM can spawn in a hunter and add dialog for him on the spot. Then the DM could decide that the hunter is a friend of the witch who lives in the cave, and he tells them where the cave is, but later the GM adds him to the fight with the witch as her ally. Stuff like that.

You are expecting too much of DOS2. It won't have even a thousand viewers on Twitch at any point of time.

I just found out about this game.. WHAT HE FUCK IS HAPPENING!? IT LOOKS SO.. INTERESTING. Is it worth spending money on it? I JUST BOUGHT THE XCOM 2 DLC.. I WON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY FOR RENT IF I BUY THIS. What choice do I make?

Oh fuck off. This is actually a good game, thats why its being discussed a bunch. There is early access so you can actually go see for yourself, or just play the enhanced edition of OS1.

Every thread made to talk about games not yet released or not that popular is automatically a shill thread.

>>388541867
Don't bother, these people refer to everything as shilling. Never mind /v/ has had Divinity threads every so often since Original Sin came out two years ago.

>>388540713
yeah this

i mean just read the most recent posts here

some faggot recommending this game as a starting point for a successful twitch gm platform

only somebody who doesn't play video games but tries to sell them could even approach that kind of thinking

like seriously fuck off faggot devs

>>388541950
A lot of Half Life shills on /v/ lately. And Blacked shills too.

There's already a mod released on the official forums that adds a Bard class, with a lot of new spells and some new features and changes. It's a surprisingly extensive mod for a game that hasn't even been properly released yet, let alone the game's modding tools..

Is it a new Pokémon or did ea release a new Diablo?

>>388542135
Bards weren't added to the game despite a certain game dev pleading for people to vote for bards?

>>388542441
Yes, and you can mix classes.

>>388542441
there are no fixed classes
this is like Ultima

>>388542441
Classes are pretty much just a starting template.

You can make your own right from the start, and learn any skill so long as you have the stats needed to learn it.

>Does it have that gimmick again where you have to roleplay two characters at once?
this wasn't a forced thing in D:OS.
you could set one of the created characters to AI mode for conversations. with like 7 or 8 options to choose from for personalities.
and if you want your MC to just be an undisputed leader you could make the 2nd character just be a yes man.

>tfw skeletons are seen as evil and inhuman when in reality we're just the literal foundational backbone of humanity
very racist desu

t. skeleton paladin

>they still don't let you customize your whole party

Preorder cancel. I don't want to play with their faggy prebuilts.

>>388539092
Holy shit that looks so amazing

>controller support
>Playstation buttons
PS4 release next year

>>388543210
Probably going to get modded in early on.
The game already has 4 player co-op, just allow a single player to create and control 4 heroes.

>>388543198
They aren't seen as Evil in the divinity universe, they're just kind of pricks and fundamentalists.

>>388543323
They added in pretty much everything they said they wouldn't. Which tells me they completed the game much earlier than expected, and unlike every other developer decided to use that time to add more features. Voice acting was completely off the table until they announced it last week.

>>388543210
But you can.

>>388543454
or maybe they finally got more funds from elsewhere
GoG did show their support by grabbing that 10,000 kickstarter tier to create a character

Can someone tell me if DOS2 will have enemy scaling and/or respawning enemies? The first game was good but i hate static npcs.

>>388543637
No you can't. There used to a workaround where you ran 4 instances of the game at once to make your team, but they even patched that out.
