I was planning on finishing my initial playthrough, but now that I'm thinking about it, I may as well start over and try the EE. I'm curious as to how much an improvement it is.

It'll be nice not playing on lowest settings too.

>>388800510
I'm waiting for release, don't want to spoil first impression with early access shit. Nothing much to talk about except it's the only game that can snatch goty title from Prey.
I'm pretty hype

Same. I did that with DOS, telling myself I wouldn't "really" play it but I wanted to get an idea of what build I would go with by the time the game was actually released. One thing led to another and I ended up taking most of the magic out of the first town through the sheer quantity of times I had gone through it in EA.

This time, I'm not touching DOS2 until full release.

>>388800510

It's significantly better than I thought it was going to be. Maybe still too niche for my friends and I to use it, but it went from a useless quirk to something viable.

>>388806172
thx shillbro

>tfw no friends to play it with

>>388806618
I'll play with you when it's officially released, anon.

Steam ID?

>>388806689
Okay anon. I will post my ID when the game is actually out. See you in these threads or on /vg/

>>388806312
No prob, bb.

Because xcom 2 a superior game exists and it just got an expac

Inb4 you bring up the shitty divinity ""reddit humor"" tier writing. Its terrible and reason enough to pass on the game.

>>388806948
You can beat X com 2 in 2 weeks, just in time for DivOS2 and then beat that in 2 weeks and be just in time for TW2.
I bought all 3 games.

>>388806107
This honestly

It also kept me away from the first one

>4 player co-op
Oh cool I only need three friends who want to buy the game and then play it with me at the same time so we can make progress together, real neat

As someone who has played Div games since DD, if you are someone who is slightly worried or unskilled with no quest markers like >>388801082, once thing I found that helped me significantly is using the custom map markers to label all the houses in the towns I visit, especially who's in them. In DD especially, at the assassin/thieves guild city that starts with a V, this was an absolute life-saver.

I'm only commenting on this being I just started the EE and the menu loading tip was about map markers.

>>388807115
You can memorize the map. It isn't that hard. Especially when you have a top down view. I mean people played Dark Souls right?

>>388807102
>>388806107
The games might be one of the only co-op games to actually bring a unique experience to the table, but nothing about them rely on it. They are perfectly viable singleplayer. In fact, I preferred DOS in singleplayer so I could read everything and explore at my own pace rather than trying to keep a friend entertained and work at his pace.

>>388806172
Can you make your own maps and shit? Is this like Neverwinter Nights?

>>388807218
Right, and for DOS that's how I played it. However, DD quests in that city had you constantly running to find X person or Y person, and the town was pretty sizeable, especially for a late-game city. Having everyone mapped out saved significant amount of time and prevented useless running from door to door when looking for an npc who wasn't actually in the town at all (which happened in the later half of the Penumbra quest, IIRC).

>>388800510
>filename
not this shit again
and there's already a thread faggot

>>388807395
That is true. DoS isn't really hard desu. You just have to stop and actually read from time to time and maybe keep a pen and paper nearby to jot down useful stuff but because people are so used to quest markers and map markers, they simply can't do it.

That steam community image still gets me every fucking time.

Thanks for reminding me.

>>388807080

Nah. I found the first divinity game to be pure shit. Id rather go play xcom. I will be playing that warhammer game though, should be fun

>>388807646
Can't wait for the Div OS 2 edition cause you know sites are going to rate this 9/10 and idiots are going to buy it and wonder why it isn't top down witcher 3.

The only thing that's really prevented me from getting into Divinity is the fact that it's turn based. After spending a lot of time in things like torchlight and diablo I just can't get past it.

>>388807646
I hope Sven doesn't listen these

>>388807742
I loved first DOS. Pirated it. Finished it. Bought it afterwards. Replayed it when EE was released. Looking forward to DOS2.

Xcom2 WOTC and TW2 look great fun as well. I am just glad we all enjoy these great release of PC video games after a short drought. Have fun anon.

I was planning to buy this with the money from my ARK refund. Is 45€ the final price or will it rise after release?

>>388808113
Final price. Larian aren't jews.

>>388801742
someone said you cant raise dead or summon skeletons in this game

>>388800510
Ok, newfag here.
Can I mix Inquisitor and Knight for my Skeleton?
It's a possible thing or my character will be shit?

>>388809114
No its so open ended you could do anything, just gotta get the correct traits and stats on levelup

>>388809114
There are no pre-defined classes, just skills that you can mix and match and preset classes you can alter anyway. So if you are min-maxing, it will probably be shit. If you are roleplaying, it will do.

>>388801742
Right now in EA you can not, right now each school of spells has about five to six spells, on launch we're expecting to gain another twelve to thirteen in each category (not counting the spell combination feature). I really think it'd be weird to not get true necromancy summoning seeing as Sven told us a spell called "Mass corpse explosion" also exists in the necromancy tree.

>>388809330
Holy shit that sounds amazing I think I'm going to swap summoning for necromancy now

>>388809530
Why not both?

>>388809530
both of them could mix well, Summoning makes totems depending on the surface, you could raise skeles one turn and summon blood totems the next my man.

Do I need to play the first one to enjoy this? I can't find my copy of DOS1 anywhere (consolefag here) and I never beat it.

>>388809741
Lore wise not at all its set 1000 years after the first
Game play might be iffy if your not used to the first one

D:OS's gameplay was amazing but the ugly clay-like models and the godawful writing turn me off from the game.

>>388809928

Neat, thanks Anon. Really going to have to try to dig up my copy of DOS1. Fuck, I bet Steamfags don't have this problem.

>>388809974
Models still look like clay and the writing became worse, enjoy.

>>388810039
Yeah we don't have to deal with losing disks, but unless you hava NASA-internet, downloading is still a time-sink. At least you consolefriends get to just pop in and play.

>>388810048
>and the writing became worse

That is fucking terrifying. are they writing badly on purpose or are they incompetent retards?

>>388800510
tell me shill, is the game available on linux?

I CANT WAIT FOR GM MODE FUCK

>>388810180
They tried to appeal the mature roleplay crowd and made it an edgy *teleports behind u* cringefest.

OS1 is Nietzsche compared to this.

>>388810239
Larian is going to take 2 years to get linux working. It's the first game all over again, they promised linux for DOS1 and they delivered only when EE came out.

>>388810454
okay well when they get it working in linux I'll consider buying it

>>388800657
The other thread is 2 hours older than this one

>>388806948

Your opinion is hyperbolic dogshit and the games are only barely comparable when it comes to combat.

>>388810048

Models are noticeably better and the writing wasn't that bad, suck it.

>>388810645
Other thread also doesn't mention the game's title or abbreviation. I didn't know it existed either, since my 4chanx pins "divinity" to the top of the catalog for me.

As I recall, "it" in this case was the game master mode mod featuring Wizard's forgotten realms or whatever DnD world it was. The whole point of their visit was getting approval to use one of their worlds as the showcase for the GM mode itself.

>>388800510
I hate the first game for being so mind numbingly boring. I enjoyed the combat, but then the game put m,e through this murder mystery I just didn't care about enough to go along with the pixel hunt.
Would I like the 2nd game?

I saw whips in some trailers, are those weapons or spells ?

>>388807232
oh fuck that guy, that boss took my friends and I so many tries to beat. Eventually we perfected our strategy and got lucky. That's one thing I love about strategy games that aren't afraid to make some encounters brutally hard, you may have to actually come up with a strategy if you want to beat it. The first and best example that comes to mind is a dragon from Pillars of Eternity. It was at the bottom of some well or something. I tried for so long to beat it and eventually I actually tried to use some strategy against it, and it worked. The best feeling ever. Both Divinity games are chock full of these moments and I can't wait for 2 to come out.

I didn't look too much into this serie, but are you saying there's no quest markers?

>>388814840
mark it down ingame on the map, you can write your own labels

Larian studios is one of the few devs that releases proper games without cutting corners.

So I'm certainly going to get it.

I haven't played any of the Divinity games but D:OS and I couldn't get into it mostly because the story seems to suck some serious ballsack.

But I have seen people discussing the lore of the new sequel. Is the Divinity universe actually kind of interesting and D:OS just didn't capture any of it somehow?

Im gonna give one last try on D:OS and take it slow.

>>388817849
Play Dragon Commander and Divine Divinity. Both have better writing. Especially Dragon Commander. The problem with DC is the gameplay.

>>388800510
I used to be interested and eagerly waiting for that game to go out. But that amount of shilling kinda soured me on it.Maybe I'll just pirate it at first, and get it on sale later on.

>>388817945
Dragon Commander has some fucking shit tier RTS system tho.

>>388818002
It's also on GoG so it'll be easy to pirate.

>>388818057
That's why I said the gameplay sucks. It should have been a brawler kind of game instead.

>>388817849
DC and DOS1 have no connection to the greater story of Divinity. They both flush out small things about the world itself, but DD, BD, D2, and DOS2 are all related to each other - the tale of the Divine (the MC from DD) and the little shit Damien (who the Divine adopts at the end of DD).

Although, looking at DOS2, they are continuing with Source as a whole thing important to Rivellon, so DOS does have greater importance than DC.

>>388818118
I would have been fine with a lesser version of a paradox game system. But the RTS straight up sucks donkey dicks.

The gameplay's cool and all but I can't play a cRPG whose aesthetics and writing I utterly despise. I'm not risking another misery-ride like Cyseal was.

I still firmly believe that anon deliberately was pretending to be retarded in an attempt to provoke a reaction during the initial hype on /v/
With that being said I don't understand why people like the circus music poster or the POE avatarfag feel the need to shit up every thread

>>388819065
It is not. /v/ has been casual central for years. I remember when this game first came out and there were threads that devolved into Quest Markers vs Non-Quest Markers and the former argument was that they were NEET losers who wanted to read lines after lines and wanted to get to the "fun".

>>388818383
I would, if my need to minmax wasn't in the way. So my options are: play again with all the number crunching or combing the place for every single item like the first but with different choices, or reload the same game over and over again until I see every outcome and settle for the "optimum" one. If there was NG+ I can play a game without that nagging feeling that I could've done better or I missed something knowing I can fix mistakes the next time.
