Div OS 2 is easily going to be the best RPG of the year, if not this decade, dead serious. No other game allows this kind of freedom the first game had and the sequel looks like an improvement in every aspect.

will pirate and write negative reviews everywhere I can to stop your obvious shilling. What a desaster you guys are

The only thing eventually saving you is a speedmode to not endure 30minute fights

I'm looking to play it with my fiancee. We really enjoyed the first one, are witches still a class? i loved their buffing and summoning abilities

>>389133561
Will this be coming out on console same date? Boyfriend and I loved playing this split screen.

>>389133561

Im going based lizardman

The Red Prince is an excellent roleplaying option if you like to min/max and shit on NPCs in general. He gets a ton of dialogue options and will have a unique voice actor (just like other Origins).

Finally my character reflects my playstyle as I treat NPCs worse than dirt.

>>389135081
No, but it already has local multiplayer on Pc on release

How's the writing? I tried the first game, found it tedious and dull. I think I tried it 3 or 4 times, but just ended up passing it off in favor of something else. I played the older Divinity games and pretty much enjoyed all of them, but Original Sin was just boring.

I asked in the last thread but didn't get a reply, does warfare scale with Finesse if I use a spear?

>>389135486
They've literally had 6 well known writers (and Avellone for a bit) working on the sequel only because of the bad feedback the original game had in terms of writing and story.

I can't tell you if it's any better or not cause I haven't tried the beta, but if it lives up to the expectations, we might see the best RPG ever made coming out in less than 2 weeks

>>389135338
Can you make him a more magical focused kind of character though?

>>389135779

IMO, having 6 good writers working on your game doesn't mean a thing. Better to have one guy doing all the writing, making it all fit neatly with each other, rather than have the quality jump up and down all the time. That's what happened with the latest Deus Ex game, the writers for the sidequests were different people and holy fuck you could tell because they were actually good.

>>389135860
One guy can't write more than a million words in two years and make it good never post again.

How far can you actually play in the Early Access game?

>>389136493

What about Planescape Torment? 950k words or theresuch, with Avellone as the main writer.

>>389134902
Witchcraft is called necromancy now and the spells are all about blood and lifesteal and damage reflection.

>>389136594
>cant write more than a million words
>950k

Thats less than a million, in more than 2 years.

>>389136594
He was the main writer but he had help Lorian also has a lead writer and he has help. Ever wonder why Dragon Commander had good writing it's because of him but he was rushed with Original Sin everything was rushed with Original Sin.

>>389136618
do you know if there is a class that provides the buffs and things witchcraft did? otherwise I'm just going to do a transmuter who will fuck things up in melee

>>389135843
yeah you can make him whatever you want

the origin story just affects their voice actor, gives them a unique quest line, and gives them character-specific dialogue options that you aren't forced to take.

And their race and gender are locked, but nothing else. The Red Prince also has his skin color locked.

>>389133561
I just got it because I'm weak and didn't want to wait for the full release
how's metamorph? it looks interesting but also weird as shit

Does anyone know if they did a better job balancing the non-mage classes this time around? D:OS1 very much felt like it was designed for casters first and foremost, the melee fighters didn't feel nearly as intricate.

its awesome but getting nerfed in release

Skin Graft will be changed to consume a source point so you can't use it every combat. However, the invisibility skill and wings are still solid.

And we still don't know most of the 2 memory skills, nor the skillcrafted skills, so anything is hard to say.

>>389135558
Yes, or int if you use a staff.

I became autistic in the first game. I kept stealing from everybody and save scumming if I could caught as I was worried there was some super important hidden item on the random NPC's.

This game seems to have the same and I JUST DON'T HAVE THE POWAH CAPTAIN. I JUST CANNAE DOO IT.

Fuck all you. I don't have time to play a long ass game like this.

I didn't play OS and intend to, but should I play any of the previous Divinity games first?

>>389136828
Do you know what else is getting nerfed about them besides skin graft?
>>389136940
God fucking damn it, I regret putting points into two hand instead of warfare.

>>389136798
complete opposite in this game due to the introduction of armor, which i love.

Character have Physical Armor and Magical Armor, which are like extra healthbars. You don't start losing HP until one of the Armors are depleted. Magic damage chews through Magical Armor, and physical damage chews through Physical armor.

You also can't be affected by CC until the respective armor category is depleted. For example, you can't be knocked down while you still have Physical Armor. You can't be Burned while you still have Magical Armor.

This is a great balance change that makes the game no longer a CC fest. And casters are no longer the best class.

The best class is probably rogue due to high single target damage but they are being nerfed on release (such as Skin Graft nerf and Adrenaline nerf), the balance is much better this go around.

Is the story going to be as bad as Original Sin 1?

>>389136945
You can only pickpocket a character in this game once. They already cured your autism for you.

Also, stealing or murder will make nearby NPCs suspicious. If they see you, they may confront you and you'd have to pass a speech check. They removed most of the stealing exploits.

>>389136594
Have you read the dev diary of that game? Avellone got literally ill from the work he put into that game. One person, or even 2 working on writing for a 80-100h long game is just unreasonable

>>389137012
All of the Divinity games take place in the same universe and can be arranged on a timeline, but you can safely start with OS without really missing anything.

>>389137045
>Do you know what else is getting nerfed about them besides skin graft?

We only know of Skin Graft. It's still good but not spammable. I would still take 1 in poly on many characters due to its easy access to invisibility and flight.

>>389137142

Where can I read the dev diary?

>>389136828

>>389137132
Wait, so I can't go around random houses and pickpocket NPC's? I can only pickpocket specific people then? I never finished it. I never even left the first mission area.

>>389137012
It's set 1000 years after the first one, so should be OK.

>>389137075

>>389137285
Was said on the recent Twitch stream. Adrenaline will have its penalty increased from -1 AP to -2 AP, so its AP neutral. And Skin Graft is going to be changed to a 2 memory skill that costs 1 source point.

>>389135779
>They've literally had 6 well known writers (and Avellone for a bit) working on the sequel

WRONG.
They had six guest authors work on the six companion characters, that you can use for your protagonist as a template as well.
NOT ON THE MAIN STORY. Only on one character each. Avellone worked on the undead companion.

>>389137330
>Wait, so I can't go around random houses and pickpocket NPC's?

You can. But you can only pickpocket each NPC once, they get suspicious afterwards and you can't touch them again.

You can still stealth around and steal shit from houses, but people get suspicious when their belongings are missing and will question you.

You can pickpocket everyone, but only once. You can look at their inventory as much as you like, as many times as you like, so long as you don't take anything.
You are also limited in how much value and weight you can take. This is measured in bars that fill up as you steal.

>>389137075
>>389137346
There's also piercing damage that bypasses physical armour. You can cast healing spells on undead or enemies with the decaying debuff, and it will bypass magic armour. I got healing spells on all my characters for that reason.

>>389137471
Ah so it's not like the first game where you just pickpocketed everybody then sold what you didn't want and if you filled up could go back and get the rest?

Plus big games like this I worry about missing stuff. I might try and finish Original and then get htis. Thanks lads.

Random shot in the dark, do you remember from Original Sin if any random NPC's have super rare one of a kind loot? That's what I fear missing.

You guys are really making me want to play this game, but I know with my job and time this would have to be the only game I play for like 3-4 months to complete it.

>>389137818
Nah, and honestly the games are so long your loot at one level won't matter in a couple levels. The loot system in these games isn't even that amazing, calm your OCD senpai.

>>389137894
and that's a bad thing?

So you can only have 1 custom character this time around,right?
>>389133965
Not that guy but what's a RA?

>>389137894
And how is that bad? How many RPGs let you do almost literally everything and don't bullshit you about it?

>>389133965
>Is it that obvious

Well it's kinda obvious if you tell everyone that you are going to pirate a supposedly awesome game from an indie company.

>>389137818
I just loaded up the first game, and from what I can tell it has exactly the same system.
How much you can take is decided by your pick-pocketing skill.

I don't remember seeing any unique items that you'd lose sleep over if you miss them.

>>389138020
>So you can only have 1 custom character this time around,right?

You can make as many as you want by exploiting. You can connect to a multiplayer instance with multiple windows of the game open, so you could in theory have a party of 4 customs.

I consider this cheating because a perfectly built party of 4 is just going to steamroll anything.

>>389136828
Skin Graft consuming a source point means you can use it as many times as you want in combat.

>can't decide between origin and custom char
>can't decide between having Lohse\Fane\Ifan and Lohse\Fane\Red Prince party

Dammit. Eating people sounds too fun to pass but what little I've seen of Ifan was very nice to play as.

>>389137361
Lizard girl(male)

>>389138243
But it also consumes a source point so you realistically couldn't.

>>389138124

Oh. Does your pickpocketing skill level up with us? If it does, I think that's probably why I was doing it; just to get level up.

I want to play Undead but I wanted my main to be a mage with access to most spells.
I'm not sure that's a good fit for this race.

>>389138254
Same here. I can't decide between a custom character or one of the original. I lean towards a custom character, but I'm afraid the custom characters won't have as many roleplaying/dialogue options as the original characters.

>>389138617
lizards never had time warp exclusively
Time Warp as a source skill for custom characters in Early Access. On release, it has been changed so only Fane has it. Custom characters get a unique skill called Dome of Protection instead.

Lizard's racial is Firebreath, a handy 1AP aoe fire skill on a 3 turn CD.

Ifan: pet pal, bonus to barter
Sebille: cannibalism, extra AP ability
Red Prince: Can dig without a shovel, bonus to persuasion
Beast: can fit in small places
Fane: skeleton key and racial disguise (not a big deal honestly)

>>389138696
Yeah, but they already had Firebreath. So now Lizards have Dome of Protection? Sounds pretty swank.

>>389138745

>>389138796
No you retard, you get 2 unique skills:

>Your origin/custom

>>389138331
You can have 3 source points plus whatever jars you have in storage (I didn't test, but maybe you can't consume those in combat).
You can definitely do source vampirism while in combat though.

So, did they do something to fix Hybrid characters being completely worthless or is it still like the first game?

>>389138719
Yes.

>>389138907
I played way too many rpgs where magic is OP and playing melee is basically the "hard mode", is that also the case here?

Can someone give me the quick basic gestalt on how the game works for singleplayer?
I make 1 guy and recruit others on the way?
I make 1 guy and make 3 more with origin stories that give em personalities?
What does origin story change aside from giving you a specific skill?
I loved the first but so many things are new to me in the second...
Thanks!

>>389138902
hybrid characters were fine in the first game, what are you talking about?

>>389138902
the physical / magical split makes it so trying to do split damage isnt very good

but all the spell schools now have non-scaling spells which benefit melee characters. like necromancy has shackles of pain, geomancy has fortify, pyromancy has clear mind and haste, poly has a bunch of stuff, etc etc

>>389138389
>>389138378
Fair enough. I can't remember. I'll just drop the autism and stick to stealing from important people.

>>389138928
Going by early access balance, physical characters feel more powerful than magic characters. That might change in full release though.

>>389138980
You can also steal skill books from vendors.

>>389138928
Opposite, rogues are probably the best characters. But balance is much better than Original Sin 1 in my experience so far.

>>389138928

>>389139202
you can do either/or, there are other changes but i played through both a number of times and loved the game both versions

>>389139198
You can if you start a multiplayer campaign and have 3 friends join at the beginning, or if you join 3 more times by opening new instances of the game in new windows.

You can customize everything about an origin character at that point besides race and gender. And The Red Prince's skin color.

>>389138963
Hybrids are fine as long as you focus on doing either just physical or just magical damage. If you try to do something like use staffs and take warfare skills then it's going to be shit because your staff will damage magical armor and your skills will bounce off the physical armor.

Is the full game out? It still says early access whats the difference?

>>389139054

>>389139279
WTF? All this trouble just to choose an origin story?

>>389139198
You can customize the origin character if it's your PC except for sex and race. For NPC origin characters you can only change their class when you recruit them.

>>389139398
You can pick any origin story you want at character creation, and customize it however you want. That guy was asking if he could fully customize all 4 origin stories at the beginning, which is possible with some work.

You can recruit any origin character ingame, and you are given limited options to customize their abilities through dialogue.

How many hours of content in the current EA version?

>>389139327
In the first game it would only split the screen if you moved away from each other, unless you forced splitscreen.

>>389139519
For a single playthrough doing everything? 20.

Is it going to be as boring as the last one? My favorite part about OS was the combat but nothing ever respawned so once you did a battle that was it and it was back to mindlessly walking all over the fucking place to do whatever it was you had to do until you could fight more shit.

>>389139364
You can recruit or play as any of the 6 origin characters.

>>389138413

Theres an online arena mode if that interests you. Otherwise enemies stay dead when killed.

Sooo.. how´s crafting? It was GOAT in D:OS1 you know.

There will be probably mod for this like in D:OS.
And I think there are mercs?

>>389139607
It has splitscreen for a single screen

The multiplayer also supports connecting via localhost, so for what you're suggesting you'd probably have to open up two instances of the game.

>>389139689
I think one is a crpg and the other is a strategy game.

>>389139689
Warhammer is the same game that came out last year. Divos 2 is something new.

>>389139689
Get Warhammer 2 so you will have Norsca. You can get D:OS 2 later and nothing will change. I'm doing it like this.

>>389133739
Glad I went for m203 instead of MATADOR.

>>389139689
Don't get Warhammer 2, it's shit.

You don't get to act all high and mighty when you misunderstood a simple question and talk like there's a cock in your mouth.

No, they didn't. The Red Prince, a lizard, didn't have Time Warp. Time Warp had NOTHING to do with your race, every race had access to Time Warp if they were a custom character.

Every race got Dome of Protection in exchange for not having Time Warp.

>"No, Lizards did not get anything in exchange for Time Warp."
This is still wrong and you're still too stupid to understand this.

>>389141712
Lizards never lost Time Warp, your question is retarded, they never had Time Warp to begin with, it was a custom character thing.

Oh, so the 2nd is no longer "CC: The Game"? Kinda hated that about the first one, turned into a savescum fest because if you didn't chain CC enemies you were mostly fucked because they outdamaged and outnumbered you all of the time.

>>389141257
I'm not sure about the second game, but do keep in mind that the enemy throws a check every turn on debuffs

Meaning that, the decaying touch may stay for one turn, and then disappear, leaving the heal there actually healing the enemy

>>389133561
Stop shilling. The game isnt REALLY coming out now. Its actually coming out in about a year when it will be patched up and enhanced.
If this is indeed gonna be a good game anyone playing it now is gonna miss experiencing it when its actually done.

What actually is a custom character?

How many people in here actually speak English as a first language? "Starting" with something does not imply exclusivity, it simply means X begins with Y while everybody else has to acquire it later.

>>389142271
>Elf has seventeen abilities during the starter fucking ship
Have you played the game? That is the Lady Vengeance, a different ship fought much later.

That's completely wrong, every race started with Time Warp if they were custom. You are 100% wrong about this, but I encourage you to keep posting.

Is the game pretty much finished or should I wait 2 weeks until official launch

>>389142431
There are 6 origin characters you can play as or recruit as companions. A custom character isn't an origin character.

>>389142432
Every race started with Time Warp if they were custom. You are completely wrong.

>>389142557
Right but why would you pick a custom character then? It seems there's only downsides, and no real customisation.

>>389142458
That is not an early character. It is impossible to acquire that many abilities that early after just leaving the tutorial zone.

>>389142605

The only way to do that would be to gain physical armor, which they can only do during their turn.
So they will take damage at the start, gain armor, and you have our turn to remove that armor so that they still take damage (and not healing) at the start of their next.

At least thats how I understood it. Hard to test, as I am lazy and my party mostly does magic damage.

Also, are we making a /vg/ thread so that people stop crying about shills?

how can you be so stupid? you're not supposed to fight it

>>389142916
every custom character starts with Time Warp.

>>389140912
Of course, that's what Decaying Touch is for.
You need to take down physical armor first, then you can do damage with first aid and restoration.

If the enemy is undead, you don't even need decaying touch, and can do massive damage to them bypassing their armor.

>>389142942
Possibly, but the tooltip only takes your intelligence into consideration with the 100% (again, haven't played the second game yet, so this might have changed)
Meaning that, when cast, if the enemy has a bit of armor, that % is reduced to say 80% for example. The debuff is still applied, but then it needs to try applying again next turn, which it might not
That's why usually 130% or so is the best way to make sure a debuff stays, but even then, on some bosses and such, it's not guaranteed

I was a full on Witchcraft spec in the first game and the debuffs were pretty tough to land on Tactician difficulty, especially if you don't lower their willpower/bodybuilding (which were the check throws)

>>389142360
Now you have 100% chance to CC, but you need to take out their magic armor first.

>>389142605
Custom characters have an exclusive skill different to the origin characters. The main draw of the origin characters over the customs is that they have a third tag (and in Ifan's case a fourth) that's often more harm than good in my opinion. Like, you can't talk to some NPC's without them getting murdered.

Will I need to know a story from the original to play this?

>>389143482
nope, theyre barely related.

>>389142819
That's how it's always worked in all RPG games since the 80s.

>>389143482

The story is so stupid and pointless in the first one that I doubt it matters. I'm 5 hours into OS2 and so far the story doesn't appear to matter at all, it's just an excuse to progress through zones and have encounters.

>>389133739
Every game pre 2000 had more freedom than the Divinity series ever had anon.. If anything it is good that this series takes a few steps forward from that direction.

>>389142898
I don't understand what you fail to understand.
All custom origins, regardless of race, had the Time Warp unique skill. Now they get Dome of Protection instead, and Time Warp is only for Fane.

What's there to debate about?

>>389139202

EE rebalances the game, adds writing/epilogue, adds weapons, dialog, new difficulty etc. There's no reason to play the original release instead of EE.

It's not hard to be RPG of the year when it's the only RPG released this year.

going first is awesome, especially because you can "delay" your turn to the end of the order.

So it lets the enemies move towards you, then you get two turns in a row to fuck them over.

>>389147185
Int, Wit, Mem

Basically the optimal build for anyone is your primary damage state + Wits and Mem.

Constitution is useless as it currently is, if youre taking HP damage youre fucked anyway because youll be getting CC'd.

you wont be missing out on much because your companions will still be origin characters, and you can do their quests. if none of the origin characters seem like fun roleplaying options to you, then dont pick them for your main character.

When you create a new multiplayer campaign, you can invite friends. Before you start the campaign, every player can make a character.

Once you've already started a multiplayer campaign, their characters do not disappear even when their players leave. When players join your session, you choose who they can control.

Gib jewish gf pls

>>389143307

get four friends and diversify my dude

How intrigate and complex are the RPG aspects? I've been wanting to play a game where you can roleplay as a GOOD undead but whom is still ostrosized and predudiced against simply for being undead. Not enough games get this right and just make udnead an "lol so evil" race.

I wanna hear good things about the roleplaying aspect to offset the fact I suck ass at "tactical turn-based combat"

>>389138162
Yeah but you can pick the classes of the origin characters when you recruit them anyway so it's honestly no different.

>>389143482
nah

plus, in the second game, your Sourcerers, as opposed to Source Hunters

seems like they are trying to make the story as far from the first game as possible theme wise even

>give it a spin even though I didn't play 1
>everything spews poison and oil
>I'm on fire 65% of the time
I don't know what I'm doing but I think I like it

Not possible.

>Gamemaster mode
>user created content out the ass because the level creation tools and assets are provided

truly GOTY, on a scale of pong to little big planet i expect it to be at least a Halo 3 in terms of endless user generated content

>>389150294

companions and story are the weakest part of the game, in my opinion.

>>389151621
How does the drop-in drop-out multiplayer work? Is it just an invite thing or can people randomly join your world to help out with like a matchmaking thing?

Can I just not recruit NPCs and just have player-controlled people join my party when needed?

>pretending to be shills so people hate a game that is not even out yet
Fucking poefags

>>389151551
I don't think the game will be popular enough to reach that level of user-generated shit, but I expect it'll result in some extra hours of entertainment

>>389138661
the only difference is that the origin characters literally get a unique tag to themselves, which is fuckin cool with what that entails, and you get your own sub quest line

>>389151245
People will flee from you or attack you if you wander around as an undead without your face covered. Otherwise you should be able to play similarly to the other races, including as a good person.

>>389151830
Which PoE are we talking about? Either can fit.

>>389151621
Well then what the fuck's the point in playing? God knows RPGs don't have good gameplay.

>>389152019
Yeah. And then we get games like PoE. No thanks.

>>389151917
I mean is that all? It's a good start but I wouldn't mind a bit more depth. Maybe a few undead only dialogue options or quests?

Will NPSc get suspisious if you say, enter and exit a pool of poision stronger than ever?

>>389152119
Exactly. Fuck, PS:T had the best gameplay because it said fuck it to the standard tropes and made it literally all about "story".

btw this is not including Wizardry style RPGs (which I've never played) and roguelikes (although those are better with story IMO)

>>389133561
Is it worth buying *now* or do I wait for the 14th? Is there going to be a huge difference?

>>389152282
I bought it now.
Won't play it in a couple of years though probably.
I just want to support these developers. Guys like them are rare nowdays.

>>389151794

idk how it works. I pirated the game, so not bothering with multiplayer.

>>389152019

I don't know what the point is. Gameplay is alright, I guess. But I feel like I'm going to burn out eventually like with the 1st game just endlessly doing encounters. It definately feels more designed like the 1st game where you just co-op with friends, and the story and singleplayer experience is less important.

>>389152119

PoE had shit writing too.

I think that was his point.

When do we get the undead update? That's the only reason I bought it.

>>389152601
14

>>389152601

On release. The early access is just a beta for kickstarter backers for testing/feedback purposes.

>>389151967
Both

How big is the actual game going to be compaired to what the AE players are getting? I heard there's a four month window so I'm guessing the EA people have 95% of the game?
