Does the Enhanced edition of DivOS fix the issues with the difficulty and balancing past the first act?

He wasn't in the first game. But Divinity OS 2 has mentions of the Black Ring, so I want him in it so I can kill him.

This looks fun, especially the possibility to play a skeleton.
Can you play as an evil sort in that game?

>>388918562
I started playing OS1 and reached the first town. Will there be more combat or more endless walking and dialogues?

You rip faces off people to make a mask. You tell me if that's not dark and edgy enough.

>>388919072
You can kill every single npc.

I played as Lohse for the pre-release, so I want to carry on playing as her in the full release so I can continue with her story. With that said I also kinda want to play as a lizard or elf or undead since they all look much more interesting than boring old humans.

Haven't checked, does the Early Access version on Steam have the map creation tools?

I think you could still do that through a mod.

>>388918562
Is unarmed viable? Are there specific skills? Are the animations decent?

>>388919431
No, its the same game, except better made.
All the design philosophies are the same.

>>388919508
Kickstarter redditors voted for "summoner" as a class type, instead of unarmed martial artist, trap maker, alchemist with grenades and poison and such, or a cool groovy bard.

>>388919483
oh boy

>>388919563
>trap maker, alchemist with grenades and poison and such,
To be fair these both sound boring as fuck to play

>>388919483
It's better than DA:O by the simple virtue that you don't have to fucking confront an NPC to buy DLC.
Bone up on the Divinity wikia to get an idea of what's going on. Start with Divine Divinity.

>>388919198

Man I hate that sword. It'd probably get stuck and lost at the first enemy you hit.

>>388919654
>Divine Divinity
So this isnt the second game in the series? Do all the games follow the same story?

why is the lore in this series so fucking terrible?

the only one that had an interesting premise was dragon commander

>>388919563
No matter
I'll mod it in if its the last thing i do

>>388919654
>Bone up on the Divinity wikia to get an idea of what's going on.
No point, D:OS is so far removed from DD/BD that you don't lose anything but a few references from going blind.

>>388919787
Might need to create animations for that. Good luck.

>>388919767
Pretty sure earlier divinities were ARPGs and largely unrelated.
You can ignore them.

can someone help me out with a build in divinity 1? I just want to play through mostly for the story

>>388919654
>you don't have to fucking confront an NPC to buy DLC.
What the fuck are you talking about

>>388919767
All games take place in the same world, but they don't follow the same story.
They do like Elder Scrolls, where games are so far apart, that you don't need to have played the previous ones to enjoy this one.

Also, the mood is a mix of serious and silly, kind of like Metal Gear. If you are turned off by that, beware.

>>388919891
>>388919953

Would it be okay for me to start at Original Sin if i dont want to play through all the old games?

They follow a universe, but they stand alone.
Read up on Dragon Knight, Lucian, Damian, Zandalor, and Bellegar.
Pic related, from what seems like a long time ago now, when DA:2 failed to deliver on "I want to be a dragon" while Divinity 2 let you turn into a dragon.

>>388919989
Yes, the game have little to do with each other, and the very few characters and concepts that appear in all of them are explained in each of them.

>>388919879
I can actually model, texturize, rig, animate and code somewhat in C#, never modded before though

>>388920029
>>388920009
>>388919953
Alright cool, I'll definitely check it out. Any tips (without spoilers) for the first original sin?

>>388919989
It's even recommended, DivOS2 is mechanically the same with a ton more.

>>388919948
There was an NPC in DA:O you could buy DLC items from.

>>388918562
Best part about the game is the armor and clothing designs, compare to OS 1.

>>388920105
I see the fighting is Xcom style turnbased, how does it hold up? How big are the DnD elements in the game?

Go with magic that complement each other, like earth and fire, for an easier time in the early stages of the game. Remember this is not a class-locked game, you can learn other skills as long as you have the stats.

>>388920094
Have one party member talk to someone in their house and use the rest to steal all their shit. The NPC's field of view will be locked towards the party member he is talking to and won't notice anything. Telekinesis is super useful.

It's a love letter to pen & paper RPGs, the main design philosophy is that you should be able to do anything anywhere, so that means doing unconventional things like >>388920335.

>>388920432
Yes, turn based only starts when you're in combat, other characters that aren't in the aggro range will still be able to move around normally, they don't have to stick together at all.

So I just got this game. Which pre-made character has the most interaction with the story? I kind of want to be the lizard but who might be a better pick?

>>388920432
You get a golden cup if you get the enhanced edition. The golden cup turns stuff to gold and it sells for more. A regular fork will maybe go for 1-2 gold. After using the cup, it might sell for 5-7.

Another tip would be to treat Ishmashell with the respect he deserves.

I loved that you are able to insta kill the temple boss in OS1, by teleporting him into his own lava spell

>>388920657
It's generally +STAT(DEX, STR, CONS) or +SKILL(Telekinesis, Loremaster, Lockpicking)

>>388920646
Can't say but I assume all the origin stories have a fair share of extra story stuff. It doesn't really matter in the end since you can meet and recruit them ingame and experience their story, taking control of a character in your party works like if you were that character.

>>388920432
>How long is the game?
80 hours to beat in co-op, with goofing around.

Never played the firt one but I've been following the devolopment of this and looks sick.
I decided to get the first one. One quick question, can I create my party members or they are premade? Talking abou D:OS 1 here.
But I'd like to know the answer for 2 aswell, I fucking love being able to create my party members.

>>388920884
So 40 to 50 hours if you only do the main story questline, sort of like Xenoblade?

>>388920393
>Don't forget to gild the paintings with that golden cup thing. Even spoons become more expensive.
>>388920432

You can steal an item, and enhance it with gold to make it more expensive, then sell it.

>>388919483
it is, but better

>>388918562

>>388920969

That's the Enhanced Edition.
If you want to rage, rage for Dragon Commander. Now that's a game Larian had to abandon halfway in order to focus on Divinity Original Sin. DC felt like it got the Xenogears treatment.

>>388920969
They released an enchanted edition you got for free if you owned the orignal(sin). Added grenades, dual wield wands and full voice acting and more quests.

>>388921030
Peasants don't like spooky scary skeletons

>>388920191
It doesnt plays like xcom though, its more about controlling the battle than controlling risk. You will take a lot of damage, heal it back, prevent it and dish it out, hit chances might as well not exist.

>>388920908
You get a bunch of presets that you can customize however you want, same thing in 2 where you even have the choice of your race.

>>388920908
In the first one you have 2 Main party member and then 2 more you can recruit. The main ones are made at the beginning and you can do whatever. I made a mage with knowledge in all magic schools on a second play-through. The other 2 cannot be changed. You can pick the lone wolf trait that gives some bonuses like more xp or more skill points per level but you can't have a companion. Both of the main characters can have it and you party is now just 2 people.

>>388920989
Scoundrel! The bonuses he gives aren't that good.

>>388921130
>its more about controlling the battle than controlling risk
Now that's an apt description for the goal of the combat system in DivOS2. With the AI being a dickwad it's definitely a tug of war.

>tfw have to pirate the game because having trouble finding a job

>>388921141
>>388920908
Oh, and the additional party member after the main two your create are premade, there are 4 of them: A warrior, a wizard, a rogue and a ranger.
Each has a story.

>>388921141

How many of them can I change? or even better, can I set my own names, races and classes for my party members?

You could just kill everything in Cyseal. The game wont give you a game over screen.

He really couldn't. There's a lot of guards in that city, and he is low level at this time.

>>388921190
I dont know about 2 yet but in 1 you can faceroll certain enemies if you're smart and not one of those retards who ignored loremaster.
Like summoning rain on the flaming skeletons in the church in Cyseal and whatnot.

>>388919405
Same. Building a full party of customized characters is my fetish. I want to play my adventuring party or three wizards and a skele knight.
>>388919505
From the few mods I've seen that have already been made for the game, this seems very possible. It looks like the game might be reasonably moddable, which is even better considering GM mode and custom campaigns.

Still the option is available. You can also lure them into a nearby house and take them out that way.

Make a fort out of chairs and big ass braziers and funnel your enemies to you one at a time.

>>388919505
Making all the companions custom seems to go against design philosophy. They even made it so the protagonist can pick an "origin", effectively you playing as one of the possible companions and completing their side quest as your main.
So it may fuck up the story.

>>388921545
It isn't against design philosophy at all when it's custom, don't forget this game has game master mode and the first one had a mod to let in 6 characters. You don't have to pick an origin story, which makes those origin story companions available for recruitment.

>>388920521

He looks really cool. I hope they added more beard like his for custom dorfs, because so far they've been really shitty.

>>388921629
I mean to say that perhaps the "main quest" is just a combination of all the "side quests" for companions and potentially the protag.
As in, the different origins compose the main quest thread, so if you make them all custom the main quest may not make sense.
Sven said that in the end the whole party can "win" together, as in all their personal quests can find a common solution, which is the ultimate main quest solution.

Just speculating, but it seems like the game wants you to have 3-4 origin side quests going to make sense of the end.

Will it be boring as fuck like the first?

I really wanted to like 1 but it was so insanely boring. That first town is nothing but fetch quests, the writing was horrible, I hated the forced coop thing (which it looks like they've kept), and hearing that the first town is the peak for quality made me just drop it entirely.

>>388919089
The problem with Cyseal is that theres a lot of talking but after that theres literal fucking hours of fighting
However, you cant cut the talking short, by talking to the legion lady sitting in the middle of the legion camp, she'll ask you to help the legion, which you can do right away and postpone the investigation a bit.

Even if you dont know shit its hard to miss her, since she's in the path to the Legion HQ were you have to speak with the commander at least once, a lot of people will try to get the talking out of the way though, thinking there cant be too much of it, but there is.

>>388921545
Not really. All companions really do is have unique tags that allow for unique, but optional events. They might add a bit more meat to the story and the individual characters, but I really doubt they'll be essential or even necessary to the story in any way.

This does make me wonder whether you'll be able to mod in custom tags for custom interactions and shiet, especially for GM mode.
modded slut tag for ADWR-esque adventures when

I've never played a CRPG but I'm determined to try this one. If I go in blind and make a retarded character (very possible) how hard will it be? Should I be researching stuff before playing? I'm thinking to make a magic user.

Consider this:

You dont have to do them. They will level you to around 3, so you are ready for combat outside. You could just break down the door that has the infomation about the cave on the beach. You dont need the key.

>>388921847
>The "investigation" seemed to be just wandering around aimlessly.

No, it wasn't, you were investigating. It made sense to check the body. It made sense to go to the tomb. Things followed in a neat chain and were coherent. It wasn't aimless.

How's the writing? First one was very....british with it's humor. Found it a bit off putting.

You can make a 4-magic school mage. Too many spells to fit on your actionbar. Any orc that looks at you funny will kill you but first he has to make it to you through all the stuns, teleports, firewalls and whatever else you throw at him.

Actually hes a lvl 100 archmage and lvl 100 warlock iirc.
He dressed up as a warrior to hide his identity and was strong just because his stats were so high that the STR of a lvl 100 mage was enough to kill the monsters of that zone without effort.
It was hilarous.

>>388922086
I'm pretty sure Sven said you still had the undead specific dialogues even when concealing yourself, just that not all npcs would react in the same way.

>>388921847
That isn't a fetch quest. That is the opposite of a fetch quest.

More, if you hated the first town, you quite literally would have been better off continuing playing because the investigation stuff and town exploration is what people complain the rest of the game lacked.

>>388922471
>>388922541
IIRC, each class capped at 20 levels. However, the combination of lich, necromancer, and something else unlocked a hidden superclass with only 5 levels called Eclipse - and each level in Eclipse gave you a superability.

The entire game was built like that - layers upon layers upon layers of secrets, none of which were documented, and part of being a successful guild was uncovering these secrets and hording it among guildmates.

>>388922618
You can tell the mayor to fuck off and keep the staff.

Real talk, what's your first playthrough going to be like?
I want to play on normal/classic but at the same time I want to see all the differences they've made to tactician mode but I'm afraid I'll get my shit kicked in because even on classic the DOS2 beta had some encounters that were pretty tough the first time around
I was originally going to go with Dwarf origin main character with Sebille, Ifan and Red Prince as my companions but since it seems like Larian's either rebalanced or removed the racial stat bonuses I might have to reconsider. While playing an undead looks like fun I think people here are vastly underestimating how much of a hassle it is to have one in the party.

>>388923276

Does anyone know if it's possible to play the new game pirated via LAN stuff like Tunngle / Hamachi?

I loved the first game and finished it with a friend like 4 times, but he's a poorfag NEET and I'm not much better off myself.

>>388923863
It was utterly retarded at first

But the tactician mode they added made the AI pretty good. It was a challenge where a single turn could doom your whole part if you utterly screwed up.

The AI is already pretty good in this, almost annoyingly so if you dont know the skills and how they work.

>>388923863
Occasionally it surprised me, but most of the time it just acted like a World of Warcraft raider, optimizing DPS at the cost of everything else.

>>388923863
it was ok but the AI in this one is fucking crazy, one of my fights the ai used a fire grenade on his friend to unfreeze him, then his friend casted decay on us and used a bouncing heal spell

>>388923985
(this is for normal mode in the kickstarter version of dos1)

>>388923953
Should be easy enough, pirate the GoG version.

>>388918562
why does the crafting system seem to suck? it's open-ended while having hints/books around the world for recipes, which is kind of awesome, but some of the shit is just dead ends or has placeholder text, and I have no fucking clue how to forge weapons or know what is and isn't a valid "station"

also why the fuck is the rogue knife throw skill so op, it does like two hits of your total dual wield damage

>>388923770
>Secretly hoping for something as ridiculous as the pre-nerf Worm.
What's this about? I know about the worm but I don't know if they've made any changes to it

>>388923328
Gonna have a single player and a co op save I guess. Co op I'll buddy up with a guy with two custom skeltals, a lizard and an elf. We're just gonna goof off I guess, and probably won't get very far. Single player I'll be making a wizard and play normally, though I'm not sure on companions yet. Eventually I'll want to make a playthrough of four custom characters if it's possible, just because.

>>388923328
Skeleton protagonist on Tactician difficulty in singleplayer, and probably an elf origin character for the parallel co-op session.

>>388924025
The AI also learned some things they didn't plan on or develop when it started using some things in the game that the player underutilized such as certain status effects like Wet.

>>388924049
>also why the fuck is the rogue knife throw skill so op, it does like two hits of your total dual wield damage
Because it's a bug. During yesterday's stream they said it'll be fixed and rogues nerfed for the final release

>>388924035
Many developers have been removing the LAN function from their games just because people can use coop while pirating. Local coop is still listed on the store page for the game, so I guess it's still possible.

>>388923953
yeah I pirated the latest alpha and was able to play on lan (well, using some weird game id thing... maybe using their servers, idk, it was sketchy but worked) with my buddy who has a legit copy, we'll see what it's like on release

>>388924132
ok, as much as I've enjoyed fucking around with my solo rogue and wrecking shit on classic thanks to that, that's probably fair, but I like the options they have for mobility and dual wield/backstab synergy anyway

>>388924132
>and rogues nerfed

RIP my plans and dreams.
A nerf so late in development guarantees they will be underpowered on release.

>>388920094
If you fit it into your starting builds, take a point in aerothurgy (air magic). One of the early spells of that school is teleporting.

The applications in combat and out of combat, to take shortcuts, get to hard to reach places, or cheese puzzles, are endless.

>>388924128
>the player underutilized such as certain status effects like Wet.
Speak for yourself, wet means easy freezes.
t. rain spammer

>>388924053
The worm fight was straight-up fucked in the first month of the EA, but it got toned down at some point. Granted, it might still be fucked on Tactician mode.

>>388923925
Most NPCs won't care as long as you hide your bones though.

>>388923843
You can teleport just about anything else that's not nailed down, so... probably. Don't think I ever tried.

>>388924369
So deliberately kill your party, then ferry them across with the undead to get through death fog. Sound nuts?

Larian rarely, maybe even never bothers using DRM on their games so players with Somalian Sea Raider versions can play with those who have legitimate copies. It was the same thing for DOS1's release.

>>388924251
>>388924257
From what I gathered they won't nerf the rogue abilities but rather tone down the AP-spammy builds that end up giving you 2 or 3 free turns with almost unlimited adrenaline.

the skeletons will poison each other to heal their friends, dogs will bite their sleeping masters to wake them up, and they'll set off surface/cloud traps (electrify liquid, detonate poison, etc), plus they'll do some basic flanking and height advantage stuff, but by the same token that it's just a series of basic rules executed fairly well you can do dumb shit like put a barrel on top of a ladder so they can't climb up it to get you (if you put it at the bottom they'll attack it) or teleport into hard to reach spots, shit like that

Then it was probably a beta build I saw uploaded.

Don't think I have it.

Is the writing any better? OS 1 had some of the goofiest, most boring writing I've come across.
Also, do I need Int to unlock more interesting dialogue, or do they have a different system ala OS 1? Really want my PC to be a witty sharpshooter.

Can you only make a single character in this game?
I kinda liked the first one letting you make a pair.

Try playing Pillars of eternity.
Its the most grey,blandest unoriginal writing I have ever seen
I for one enjoyed divinity goofy writing

>>388926973
The character you make does not have the traditional format of dialogue compared to everyone else, even your companions.

>>388926910
The most.

>>388927086
How about the talking well? Do you have that?

>>388926910
Can't wait to find about the flirtatious women with many cheeses.

Yup, PoE was mediocre too, but it felt more coherent to be honest.

>>388918958
Yes, they greatly expanded third act too.

>>388927048
Could you give an example?

>>388918562
I'm gonna wait for 7 party size mod, so I can play my own OC and all 6 companions at once for maximum roleplay.

*shake your head, and call him a faggot*
*nod your head, turn 180 degrees and walk away*
*offer to kill all elves*
It's like a JRPG silent protag was given some means of communicating with everyone else.

>>388927404
Can't you just recruit one of the two origin characters? Swen said there's going to be a mercenary companion dealer or something later on anyway

>>388927404
Just recruit Fane, stupid.
Or start as a skelly and grab Sebille.

Sadly no.

I'll have another go at the game sometime soon to correct this.

>>388918562
what trailer are you talking about?

>>388927272
It's just third person. Instead of picking a specifically tailored string of dialogue you just select an *action*
Some autists on /v/ dislike it solely because of the asterisks but ultimately it's probably the superior system since you're left to imagine what your character actually said.

>>388926150
The third person game, I forgot its name, subtitle Ego Draconis or something, was flavor of the month on /v/.
Everyone who was here back then has played that, at least.
And the other games are also serviceable and charming, I enjoyed every Divinity universe game.

Are you on drugs anon
NTR literally means cuckold i know
But to westerners it means the hentai genre which involves cuckoldry with the male present
'cuckolding' is just a thing that happens every fucking day and also a meme unfortunately

Elf companion says: "I know, lets go left!" and its voiced.
Human companion says: "My gut feeling says right" and its voiced.
Protagonist says: *suggest that you take the center path instead* with no voice acting.

>>388927720
I still think that at least half of the artificial difficulty posts from DOS1's release were people riding the "muh oldschool rpg experience without quest markers" wave that lasted for one or two weeks
Many of the complaints about DOS1 vanilla and the controls/gameplay in general are very valid but are usually dismissed as casual blabber

I've never been so happy to see people proben wrong.
