Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Undead Video

>>388837528
I'm hype :

The dead are finally here! You can customize your Undead in the character selection screen. You can give yours a beard, some cool jewels or even change the color of their bones. Which is cool, but also kind of weird. Just the way we like things! You can play an Undead of any race or gender your heart desires. Will you be an Undead Lizard? Undead Dwarf? Dare we say, an Undead Elf? It’s all up to you!

In addition to their good looks, the Undead have some very unique game mechanics in the world of DOS2. For example, they have the skill “Play Dead” in which they can pretend to be a corpse - a great way to get out of combat or avoid attention from patrolling guards. We can’t take all the credit for that one: the skill was inspired by community suggestions! Another racial ability they have is that they don’t need lockpicks to pick locks. They just use ye olde bones!

>>388837878
The Undead also heal via poison and are poisoned by healing potions. So, while your Undead can stroll through poison fog, they’re going to have a devil of a time fighting an AI smart enough to throw healing at it. (Sorry again about unleashing AI 2.0 on you guys because it is TOTALLY smart enough to do this.) You can also use the Zaikk’s Talon, a unique item found in the Hollow Marshes, to turn health potions into poison. Which is rude but hey, do what you like!

A very important thing to remember while playing an Undead is that you cannot just traipse about with your bony face free to the world. You’re a monster. A hideous, frightening monster! So cover your face. Or, consider ripping the face off of a nearby corpse to disguise yourself as someone of that race! The Mask of the Shapeshifter will allow you to take on the appearance of any mortal race you would like.

For example, you can shift to a Dwarf for better prices from a Dwarven merchant, or shift to an Elf to dine on a corpse and learn their memories with the Elven racial ability Corpse Eater. Multiple masks can be made, and they can even be used by other living characters to disguise themselves as other races, allowing them to approach situations in new ways

>>388837878
Yeah, I'm going to roll as an Undead Human on my first playthrough, the "Play Dead" ability sounds like it could save your ass if you get in to a fight you know you can't win. Can't wait to fuck around in Dungeon Master mode as well, going to sink so many hours making custom campaigns, hopefully you can upload them to workshop or something in game similar to workshop.

The undead seem really neat. It bothers me that their outfits basically look the same as those of their living equivalents.

>you can play as an undead of any race

That's pretty neat.

So can you still eat food n get buffs as a skelly?

>>388837912
That sounds awesome

i will be playing as an Elf undead for my first playthrough, it seems pretty op.

Undead sounds really cool, but it's one of those races that breaks the game, like Nosferatu from VtM:B. Makes me not want to touch it until if I do a second playthrough.

>>388839282
AI seems to be great though, I would go for it.

That chick showcasing the character screen was fucking cute af

Well I guess it's to conceal that you're undead like they show in the video. I can imagine a few pieces of gear might have original designs for the undead mid/late game. Guess we will have to wait a see.

>>388839020
It's on the video, nibba

>>388839480
just be a geomancer and heal yourself while dealing poison damage to the people around you, ez pz

>>388839480
We're all skeletons on the inside anon, nothing wrong with being comfortable in your own lack of skin. Plus you can pick the roles of the npcs in your crew so you'll always have someone who can cast poison shit.

>>388839020
I don't believe so, ain't got a stomach for starters. It does make me wonder how skeleton elves are going to be able to see peoples past if they can't eat meat.

So what happens if you cast decay on an undead, will potions heal you and poison hurt you again? Or maybe undead won't be able to have the decay status effect.

>>388839762
it will work like the regenerate spell for humans, decay status = hp regen for undead

I really hope they have a good skele waifu like dragon commander.

>>388837528
Looks great. Probably going to play an all undead team on my second play through

Played through the first arc on the early accces version today, really liked it. Lots of ways to get around problems and plenty of opportunity to play the way you want.
Cant wait to do a skellington solo run, considering summoning/necro build for full roleplay. Dont know about the viability though

Statue looks really nice. A little too steep for my budget sadly.

>Poison will now actually have a fucking use if you're undead
It's such a pain in the ass as an ability for living characters. As an Undead you can just shit it out in an AOE, damage everybody else AND heal

>>388841127
I'm not the first one, I just posted the image To be honest I'm just hating it because i can't afford it now and I really want it.

>>388841221

Maybe you can just talk it out with them as undead bros.

Heh

So how does the beginning change for you as undead? Do you get the disguise mask of your chosen race?

Broken as fuck

I have never been more excited for a game than I am for D:OS 2

Halo 3 comes close

>>388841634
Aoe heals will ignore undead party members according to one of the devs on the steam forums
Everything else (targetted healing, healing surfaces etc) will still damage them though. I think it's going to be a huge bother having a skeleton party member and I probably won't bother with one during my first playthrough.

The lack of physical copy of the game is a let down, but it's a beautiful edition nonetheless

>>388841978
T-that is kind of the plan I'm running with my friends atm. All Skele party with different traits.

>he has 3 friends that play divinity

shit nigga

I only have 1 dude that I played the first one with, and he told me there is no more lone wolf perk in divinity 2, is that true?

We want to play with 2 characters, not 4, is that not possible?

>>388841978
I'm going to be the only skele in the party and make life hell for my 3 friends, god I can't wait. RIP our current d&d adventure when this comes out.

I was almost certain I'd be playing The Red Prince on my first playthrough, but Fane's looking very interesting. Does anyone know what his default class is?

>>388842248
There is no limit on how small your party is. You can run solo, go in pairs, threes or a full party.

>>388839480
>implying that isn't a high-tier strat to force the healers to waste mana on damage so you can tear through their party faster

>>388842248
I think the perk is still there just nerfed.

>>388841894
At least it's not pillows of eternity that game was so boring it put me to sleep.

>NPCs run away at the sight of an unmasked undead player character
How likely is it that it's possible to completely bypass or generally fuck up quests with this? Unless they turn hostile at some point you can probably free the elf prisoner in the prison kitchen by scaring everyone away from the cage

>>388842248
There is a lone-wolf ish trait that if I recall correctly gives incresed health when you don't have any other party members with you.

>>388837528
After watching I don't know if I'm going to make an undead or go with the origins story

>>388842371
>>388842379

thx

>>388842432
Can't you just go with the undead origin?

>>388842410
>How likely is it that it's possible to completely bypass or generally fuck up quests with this

100% possible
You can kill almost every NPC (apart from the main-questgiver) in Divinity 1 and are able to still finish the mainquest.

>>388842506
Yeah, just play Fane. He's Chris Avellone's Kickstarter inclusion he himself made.

>>388842410
You could play the first DivOS, kill all npcs, and still complete the game. I'm pretty sure it works the same way here.

>>388837528
this game going to have actual writing this time? or more of the same garbage tier bullshit

Never been interesting in this game, but the 'shilling' these past few days has actually worked.
Is the story any good in this game? How much input did Chris Avellone have in it?
The one thing that turns me off these types of game, story is usually really drab and derivative.

>>388839282
Well, the video does say that. Says it's better to learn stuff about the game first before touching undead.

>>388843829
>Is the story any good in this game? How much input did Chris Avellone have in it?
Absolutely no idea since it isn't even out yet

my copy of DOS:EE is coming tonight, cant wait to sink some hours into it

Having absolutely nothing to do during your coop buddy's turn killed OS1 for me, does OS2 improve on that?

Am i still forced to have 2 chars on start?

>>388843829
d:os2 is not out yet, so we don't know how good the story actually is. The story in d:os isn't particularly amazing, but maybe more importantly, it's not the focus of the game

You can enter a brothel with the skellies, I don't think there will be skelly whores though.
The game isn't built around romances, or at least the first one wasn't.

This is a shoe in for RPG of the year from what I've played of the early access and the previous game. I'm super excited that Larian is finally getting some success they deserve it all.

For some context watch the Divinity 2 documentary they went through hell with their previous publishers and while they made some mistakes loke over scoping I"m very glad they are now able to self publish.

>>388837528
Do you guys think Alina is a virgin?

>>388844530
Gameplay is more like Jagged Alliance 2 style where you wander around in real-time talking to people and finding loot, and when you get into combat it switches to turn-based

It's also comically broken because you can sometimes enter turn-based combat and have your coop partner stay at a distance shooting at the enemies from real-time mode until they die without getting a single turn

>>388845465

yes undead can have beards

>>388845447

Shit board. Shit game.

>>388845687
Looks like Dragon Commander.

>>388845447
Origin characters are basically NPCs (your possible companions) with stories, who you can play as if you wish so. Each of them has a unique quest chain, which can be done only if they were selected by the player in creation screen. I remember that you can actually help your companions with their personal quests to some extent but only the player's origin character can see it to the very end of the chain.

>>388846003
So I basically have the choice to create my own character like in a Bethesda game or Baldurs Gate where I decide the personality of the character and all that, or pick a premade character with his/her own predetermined personality and background like in the Witcher. But I will still be able to make dialogue choices as an origin character, right? And do I get to pick class or do the origin characters have predetermined classes and abilities aswell?

>>388846413
Because YOLO

The game barely holds together, that's the thing. In another instance my "exploit" was to shoot at a skeleton from a distance, which somehow failed to initiate turn-based combat, and after that the game seemed to drop turn-based mode for good. I was able to walk up to those enemies and any other enemy in act 1 and kill them all in real-time without resistance.

Any word on how the romance options work? This is important.

>>388846774
If you can pay for a game, then there aren't many other studios that deserve funding as much. If you can't pay for a one game, then why the fuck are you playing games instead of doing something constructive?

>>388847005

>Reloading a save made it work properly again

So it was fine, basically.

deal with it
Skyrim and other "RPGS" routinely fucked up my save-game, so a bug that can be fixed by loading a savegame should be forgivable, or not?

One thing I hated about the first one was how you had to do literally everything in the first area to stand a chance against the boss of that place, and then you had to cheese him anyways because of all his instakills

>>388847124
>This is important.

I'm not shitting on the game anon, I'm just sharing an amusing experience that I had.

But since you asked, I think if this kind of bug happened in almost any other game it might be unforgivable since it trivializes the challenge and is of course completely immersion-shattering. Divinity however is overtly silly to begin with so I didn't really mind.

>>388846504
>But I will still be able to make dialogue choices as an origin character, right?
I believe so. You can play your companions as you play your MC. For example, you can get different reactions from npcs depending on who initiate the dialogue and it will change possible outcome of the quest or encounter.

>And do I get to pick class or do the origin characters have predetermined classes and abilities aswell?
There are no classes in the game. You can make your custom one by picking any origin or race, gender, stats, starting skills and talents from the scratch (stats, skills and talents are not tied to any origin).

>>388847565

What are you, twelve? Relationships have always been a great source of entertainment and they bring a sense of humanity to the characters.

>>388847807

I think romance will be fairly straight forward as far as most CRPGs go.

That said, it never occured to me that I fucking want to be a skellie zardman or a dwarf.

>>388847807
Well there are no romances in this game so you should probably spend your money elsewhere if that's important to you.

classes are entirely stat based in the sense that you aren't locked out of any talents by choosing other talents besides needing to have enough stats to invest in both. You can go around with sneak skills, a sword and shield, and be a fire mage. Some skills require certain weapons obviously but you can build your character as you wish

Actual fans love to feel part of the development, the feedback they've given has been the reason many of the cool shit in the sequel is there, and they made enough budget to go wild with this game.

Literally nothing bad is coming out of that

For how long people have been wanting an undead race, I'm glad the devs actually delivered.

I hope you're just bored and shitposting. Every thread on /v/ is either shilling or off topic. You can't discuss a game and not be under the very wide definition of 'shillposter'

How much detail have they gone into with spellcrafting? I saw the announcement video for it but had a couple questions about it. One archetype I enjoy playing is a spell blade its a mix of magic and melee. Will it allow my to make melee attacks that have elements attached to it so I am not completely gimping myself putting points in say, strength and an element?

>>388853013
Okay anon we won't talk about a game we're interested in and it's coming out in 2 weeks, sorry to trigger you.

>>388853275
The game pretty quickly explains most of the basic parts of the game (including potions). We haven't had the undead in the beta, but I find it hard to believe there wouldn't be a simple line that explained that health potions harm undead considering all the lines in this game.

Even in the event it doesn't a single potion won't kill you and you'll learn your lesson pretty quickly.

Don't most of the healing spells heal the caster as well? So Undead Cleric is suicide?

>>388853405
zombie is great if you spec your party around it. At least it was in D:OS

I personally feel like it's going to be a huge bother. The beta was full of groups of enemies with at least one healer so unless your skeleton is built like a tank (and by the way pure tank builds aren't very effective in the game) you'll probably get nuked every time you run into a cleric
I might just be thinking too much into it because I haven't had the chance to try it out myself

>>388837528

>>388854250

>>388854449
>Just stand in a poison cloud bro
*Standing* in a poison cloud doesn't damage you, it only applies poison to you which heals/damages a minor amount of health once per turn. If you want to actually heal from the poison you'll need to walk around in it, essentially costing you valuable AP.

>>388854250
Easiest way I found to deal with healers was to teleport them closest to my thief/assassin (whatever it's called in game) and just focus them down ASAP. Thief also has a short range backstep teleport I think.

EA only has the first act so its hard to say.
Stats work a bit different now and there is this memory stat now that limits how many hotbar skills you have.

This is to limit mages mostly who were OP in the first game due to beeing able to have skills from all schools of magic with minimal point cost.

Also there is now armor, magic and normal.
as long as you have armor (which works like a secondary healthbar) you ignore status effects of physical or magical source.

This is mostly to avoid the alpha striking issue of the first game.

>>388846774
I mean you do you so whatever, the game is definitely worth playing
And the devs deserve the money too

>>388848280
Speak for yourself.

There is a midway between teenie romance comedy and shallow cartoony action.

that sounds unintended. Do we know if it functions that way in 2? Especially the latter two as blood has several new spells and Undead is now a proper race. It would seem odd if Undead of all races were incapable of using blood/necromancy

This seems like the worst one, basically means you can't be a necromancer skelly...

I guess it all depends on how early you can get that mask?

How the fuck do so many of you lack the money to buy a mere CE of a game? Is the world really this fucking poor? Get a job niggers

Raze confirmed that aoe heals will ignore undead party members so I assume they also put some thought into some of the skill trees such as necromancy, but yeah, we'll see. The zombie talent is fucking shit

No fucking shit. Even within America, the value of $170 changes drastically depending on what part of the country you are in. Some people wipe their ass with that money, nothing new.

It does. You can try it in the alpha now. They might change it before release, but seeing as how its been that way for like a year in the alpha, I doubt it.

>can be undead of any race

This is it, bros. There will finally be an RPG with proper playable skeletons. Let us rejoice

Can I import my character(s) from the first game?

>>388856567
all three? Have the devs commented on the design decision of making a race have a poisonous reaction to bed linens and be incapable of using the two schools of magic most associated with undeath?

>>388856675
It takes place about 100 years in the future. But no, you can't.

>>388856675
No

>>388856675
This takes place like 3000 years after the first game.

So the answer is just make a skeleton and pretend its them

>>388856675
yes
