I still haven't decided. Going to play through it with a buddy and he is MOST LIKELY going to play a shapeshifter since that's his favorite type of character in games. Are the skeletons religious zealots like in Dragon Commander? If so, maybe skeleton paladin. If not, torn between human thief or wizard. Played a thief in DOS1 which started strong but got kinda suckier the later shit went on so I'm leery about doing it again.

>>388562461
Necromancer seems to be focused on physical damage for whatever reason. My personal experience with it in the EA version is that it (with the exception of one spell) is fucking shit, but it might change once you actually gain access to non-basic abilities.
Summoners are pretty underwhelming in their current state, it feels like they mostly provide free meat shields. Once again it's probably going to change once you get access to more abilities but I remain sceptical. One of the devs said that the current version of the incarnate (one of the summoning monsters) is the 'basic' version that gradually gets stronger but since I haven't seen that I can't comment on it.
Polymorph is probably the best school of the three you listed though mostly for utility reasons. It has some pretty good all-around spells.

>>388562461
Casters were never OP, neither in DOS 1 nor DOS 2. They're even weaker this time and except for teleport next to useless since Magic Armor is a thing and thefore they're not even used as CC machines.

CC was their only job in DOS 1 and now they don't even have that.

So you work at least in pairs? Good to know.

Why would you even think that?

The stories are next to completely seperated and DOS 2 plays like 1000 years after the first part. Your characters in the first game were literally source hunters and the second game is all about being a sourcerer and using and understanding source. Not even importing stats/skills would make sense. They completely revamped how the system works.

SUPPOSEDLY it's going to have a darker and more mature narrative this time around. I believe Avellone's a part of the writing team so if you like him that's probably a plus.

>>388563440
They increased the amount of writers by around 400% and are aiming for a more consistent depiction of the world and lore.

It's still a Larian Game at heart and yes it will be full of fun and jokes. So if you're looking for muh mature grimshit it's still not the right game for you. Tho it definitely aims for a more realistic and grounded world.

Origin stories add character goals and quests as additional content in the game. So yes, you won't have your "own" questline but you won't miss out on the actual story.

However, it is possible to "hire" the origin characters as companions and basically you can still experience their origin story from an outside perspective.

What is your logic behind this, please explain.

>>388564912
It's actually not important in DOS 2 anymore since you are limited by memory and only need 1 point per school.

Most of the time you're maxing them for the passive stats.

Summoning and polymancer. We've seen a lot of poly in the promotional videos. I don't think I've seen summoning in action yet.

I'll just be the default guys, I'm not that creative.

Is there a way to bind movement to a key?
I'mm really used to using E as my movement key in hack&slash games, so my character just follows the cursor when it is held down.

>>388567175

What's that?

>>388567090
>>388567117
Not him, but I kinda get it. The second town is really a step down from the first - where every building felt reactive and had something to see. On the other hand, you weren't meant to spend as much time in the second as you were the first, so how valid the complaint is is up for grabs. It's something you notice though.

>>388567175
We have, it's just fucking boring. People assumed it would be based around like, summoning undead and elementals but it turned out to be summoning turrets on surfaces to shoot more of that surface.

>>388567593
Polymorphing not polymancy. Like growing wings and horns and shit for your abilities

>>388567117
not that anon but last night one of my characters slipped out of the turn order and was able to do whatever without rejoining

Could have cheesed the whole game with the bug, but reset because its not fun.

>>388567593
Using magic to transform bodyparts into something else or grow new ones. For example, can grow hawk wings and fly around a bit or do super jumps. Can turn your arm into an octopus tentacle and pull someone to you. Bullhorns for charging across the map.

>>388567689

When I reached the second town I started to notice a big increase in technical and optimization problems. Lots of bugs and glitches I never encountered in the first town. You also see areas like pic related. There are crypts in both sides but there is nothing in them. They look different than the rest, like it was a discarded quest or puzzle but you cant even reach them unless you use a teleportation trick. There is also that magician village with the 2 talking elemental summon guards. That place has an entire prison with NPCs with unique names and an Orc but there is nothing to do there.

It was just very noticeable for me. First town everywhere I went there was something to find or do.

>>388568304

Well, going by the events of Divine Divinity, Lucien was the second Divine anyways, right? The prologue was the original conclave of the 7 Races (6 + Wizards), to do the ritual and defeat the invading army of darkness. Then DD is spent recreating the ritual.

Doing it a third time doesn't seem so far-fetched.

No idea though to any of your questions. I am refusing to play the beta, but I thought it's been announced that Lucien is dead by DOS2. If in-game he is "missing," then he has most definitely been DAMIAN'd.

This is still the "Original Sin" sub-series. Between that and the later-abolished "Source," you just know the MC's are gun goof.

>>388572271
>save scum reloading for loot 2
I think that's been removed. The EE was the first time in any Divinity game that all item drops from chests and such are pre-determined the first time you load the map. I'd assume they are keeping that system into DOS2.

>>388572630
look, it's the elitist cunt who thinks that bad design choices are what separate their inflated egos from the plebs; instead of simply making the game insufferable.

Another anon here:
Except you do need to use the Teleportation spell to reach the right area of the tomb because the floor is booby trapped with an istant kill move.
That small area have a few g ravestones and all it contains is random loot,like they were planning to add shit in it and it had to be dropped.
You shouldn't see only that way, look Sacred Stone, a sort of mix between Cyseal and Silverglen:
That area has a fully fledged prison with various uniquely named characters that you can talk and interact, all of this it would scream to quest to free these prisoners but there isn't.
You can wonder the city, talk with the "boss" and interact with other immaculates for filler informations but they offer no purposes. Remove the village, prison and its people inside and it wouldn't impact you, the game or the story _at all_.
Silverglen gets to know the immaculate and join them for the main story, interact with the mayjor and ask help to clear the mines by the imps plus a few other smaller quests that make it not feel dry and boring.

Sacred Stone have nothing at all, it's only the city in between you and the Bairtodr's quest.
And for the book that let you handle Tenebrium if you haven't done a specific quest at Silverglen.

>Bishop Alexander is his son
Late reply, but Lucien's only son is Damien, the Deceiver and literal son of the devil (Lucien adopted him at the end of DD in hopes of containing his evil, and upon realizing that he couldn't, banished him to Nemesis). If they are calling Alexander his son in DOS2, then that's big papa D in disguise.

In DivOS, the main inventory was endless (to Encumberance), so the bags were completely optional. Personally, I just used them for organization, like throwing all poison/oil barrels in one bag, and all my ores in one bag, etc.

They were also good for throwing at people. A 200 lb bag full of rocks thrown via telekinesis at someone's face did massive damage, for a scant 2AP each throw.

Other people skipped the bag entirely and just chucked the biggest thing around that they could find, like the 500 lb beer keg in pic related.

I like Stabby, his guides saved me from a bajillion questions and bugs in my DD playthrough, but remember his LP guide is half fanfiction.

Penumbra does have a canon child though. Her descendant is encountered in Divinity 2. I don't remember if there's any suggestion on the DD MC (Lucien) being the father though.

Only the first act, and it's missing the undead race.

How is the story this time around? I am sure the combat is great since but the first game's story was shitty. I get that it is supposed to be tongue in cheek but still.

>>388577387
It's still Larian. Lots of humour and jokes mixed with some mature themes.

No.

>>388578045
2 weeks senpai

I couldnt play the first one because the writing was so bad

will this be better? im all for giving any crpg a chance, I just couldnt for the first one

So have they added quest markers on the map yet? I don't need a fucking arrow pointing me exactly where to go, more of a giant circle showing me the general region. I have a knack for going the wrong direction or wasting a ton of time because I misread a line.
Liked the first game but always felt like I HAD to sink 4+ hours into a play session if I wanted to make any progress.

Thanks, what I was afraid of. I'll look into it more. Honestly the story in the first was rather boring so I didn't enjoy reading quest logs much. Course it didn't help that last I played I was the second player and couldn't see most of the dialogue (something they fixed).

So... What exactly is this. Top down party based crpg? When is it coming out. How does it work?

>>388579093
It's pretty good, has a bunch of flaws but I was able to overlook a lot of em while playing and the world is really interesting. If you're gonna get it get it on pc. Deadfire is looking really good at the moment and seems to be getting rid of a lot of the weaker parts of the first game. But adds fucking shittier portraits for companions

some literally who decided to harvest a bunch of souls to resurrect a god but the gods aren't really gods or something

DivOS1 was the ultimate blinder, it had all that freedom and customization and itemization but in the end nothing actually mattered because either a) you blast through the game with some OP build or b) you reload the RNG check.

I always play as a human male, so I can self insert as the one fucking the mystical races.

>>388593060
those are the people you share the board with
really makes you think huh

>>388560553
I loved the first Divine Divinity.
I hated Original Sin because of the cartoony shit and I could never properly get into it.

Will I like this /v/? How do Undead work btw? Are you just an undead and have no problems helping villagers bring in their crops and do generic RPG shit? That kinda... sucks.

Polymorpher isnt a shapeshifter and skellies are probably different

>>388581447
Play a lizard Skeleton, you can Do that you Know?

>>388563680
>grimshit

Game starts in fantasy Dachau, its comically grim if you ask me. If anything they are trying too hard

>>388603124
Patrician taste.
Skeletals are acceptable as well.

Either this game is retarded or I am

>>388604961
The answer is clearly you.
Don't give them Slasher you faggot.

>>388604961
the zombie was bound to never leave the crypt or rest, controlled by the statue and you probably found the axe for the orc but you need to get it identified, it should be the best most expensive one that needs lvl 4 identify, ask an NPC in town to do it for you

the game opens up massively once you finish the first dungeon and can leave Aleroth

>>388605083
or give it to them and then get it back when you murder them all in their camp, its a shit unique anyway and by the time you can use it you will have something better, swords are best weaponfu in DD

>>388605139
If I remember correctly you can easily spot Slasher on the ground, it has an unique design, the axe itself is blue I think.

>>388605184
It can be pretty good if you get freeze on it. I used it for a while.

>>388574434
The barrel knight was amazing. I stole everything i could in Cyseal, right down to the last plate and painting, so i could throw crates of junk at the enemy to kill them.

>a child is missing, his mother tells you to go look in a nearby dark cave
>find the cave, kill some bats
>there is a locked gate, on the other side of th gate there's the kid, being held hostage by a hungry vampire about to suck his life out


your choices are:
>talk tough to the monster right away this makes the vampire kill the kid instantly and fuck off
>let him feed on the kid intentionally
>let him feed on you, at the cost of dropping your HP to almost dead, and more importantly permanently dropping a random amount of attributes from your character
and either way the vampire is still alive and a threat to the village and you'll need to find a way past that lock to kill it, or don't if you don't care

sometimes Divine Divinity is the most generic trite fantasy hack n slash but more often than not it has great quests

>manlets are the strongest
seriously fuck off game
where are orcs or whatever

>>388605837
Just check the trailer they released yesterday. The undead is only showned for like a sec.

>>388605916
>like a sec.
Man, that's gay. But I guess you can't have a 2-minute trailer talking about an angry skeleton.

>>388606123
Instead they'll have a stream about them on Thursday.

>>388564408
are you implying dark souls is an RPG?

>>388606123
Have to wait until Thursday, man. Hope, they will bring Chris along to talk about skellies. I expect a bit of Planescape:Torment themes in undead origin story.

>>388605739
I love the fact that there's a quest where the optimal solution is to just duplicate the healing item and use it on both of the patients instead of picking one or the other.

>>388606454
and that same quest is in DOS, without the copout... and the healing stone is more sinister
