Not sure who I'll roll with first. I played as Lohse in the EA so I'll probably do the same on release. The bigger question is which companions I'll take. I'll have to see what Fane and Beast are like compared to the others.

9 more days until another shit Larian game filled with
>Shitty cliche story

>Retarded meme lol so randumb humor
>Dialogue so bad Chris Chan would blush

I just bought this game! I've played a bit, I'm excited for the full release. I really like the witch class idea (geo and necro) but I'd like necro and frost even more.
I'm a pretty big noob when it comes to games like these. Really never played an RPG like this.

>>389320202
How I got into rpgs is I started with Icewind Dale, and it turned out the thing's a meat grinder. No trouble ever since.

i dropped the first one because i couldnt beat the girl who summons 10 monsters (played on hard)

should i bother getting this new one?

>>389321007
No if you are really that shit. Or you had bad build. The second one might be even more harder than the first, but there is also a super ez mode.

>>389321064
I went the other way and ended up getting my ass whooped by crabs

I didn't really drop it because it was "too hard", its just that I rerolled too much and by the time i figured out the minmaxing i was burnt out and lost interest.

I really hope this game is enjoyable for a solo player.

The first one seemed to basically force you to play duo if you want to get the full experience.

>>389319046
So basically you started playing minesweeper and complained the story was bad? Really?

This is an RPG, not a Telltale adventure time book. Dialogue is irrelevant in a real RPG.

>>389320764

Necro or summoner? I'm kinda leaning towards summoner only because it takes forever for necro to actually get any summons

>>389320825
>viable?
The beauty of Div is basically everything is viable as long as you are smart. Some builds are objectively better than others and will make life easier but even if you limit your options you can get through it by using what tools you do have well.

Although if you dont know the mechanics you might struggle with a bad build.

>>389317048
I thought it came out on the 12th? Fuuck don't tell me I gotta slog through an extra 2 days?

>>389322057
The Undead summons were fucking dogshit in the first game compared to stuff like the Elementals, so Im assuming they will be dogshit in OS2 as well. Go with Summoner

>>389317048
Female elf that's mainly scoundrel, with some huntsman and warfare skills. Seemed like a very strong option two months ago at least.

That or a mage/warfare lizard, thanks to warfare's stat being tied to the weapon you use.

>>389317048
What changes when it comes out of Early Access?

>>389322780
Entirely new everything and a fully complete game

>>389321661

who is gay?

how many different types of skills can I go into? like could I do a death knight style character with most of my points in warfare and necro and a few in hydro for ice spells, or would that essentially gimp my character?

>>389322914
Oh. Never messed with Early Access, but I was expecting a mostly complete game with just bits and pieces missing considering it's almost out.

>>389322780
Undead unlocks
Origin story for custom characters unlock
2 more huge acts
Some finishing touches to the first act

>>389323021
They did this with 1 too, although they didnt call it EA. It was just their attempt to test the first act and the games features as they developed them.

On the release date the game is 100% feature complete. Its not a normal EA game where its never finished.

>>389322959
I finished the first act as a ranger+summoner while going a little bit into scoundrel for thievery bonuses and teleport skill I turned out fine but of course it's just the first act

>>389321661
Is it a cute girl?

Please tell me it's a cute girl.

>>389322780

The early access is just an incomplete act 1. It was pretty much a beta/bug test for kickstarter backers. The full game releases on the 14th.

>>389322959
You are sort of gimping yourself, but its not that big of an issue.

Dmg is either physical or magical, and every entity has phy or mag resistance by default. So if you mix a knight with lots of physical attacks with for example pyro spells then you're going to have to break through magic armor and physical to deal damage. Magic also scales off int, and physical strength.

But Knight+Necro isnt a bad combo because Necro is physical damage and debuffs, so as long as their magic resistance is down you can always debuff and the severity from your int stat isnt that important. Also hydro is pretty good for self buffing/status effects, where int doesn't matter so much either.

>>389322959
>>389323675
I had a character like that, but with Warfare+Geo+Pyro.
If you use a staff as your melee weapon, you can do magic Warfare damage. And it scales from Intelligence. It is really fucking powerful, you're basically a tank mage.

>>389320507
Thats a cute pupper you have there.

>>389322057
Necro/Hydro is a fun build, but it's not very good. If you can get past physical defense and inflict decay, regenerate will destroy an enemy.

>>389323675
Okay word yeah I plan on playing classical difficulty so I can get away with not min/maxing while still enjoying combat (explorer difficulty removes CC?? wtf is the point of that?). I'd wanted to lean more into strength than int so I could use a two hander.

What's CC?

>>389317048
A calcium wizard with necromancy and geomancy specialization. Might do summoning as well but I'd like to see what they add to that tree in the full release.

>>389326315
Crowd control like sleep / polymorph

>>389326640
It does? That's strange. Wonder why they decided to do that.

are there going to be more skills upon release? I was checking out the skill trees on the wiki and it seemed more diverse but smaller in quantity.

I played the first one and there were too many walls of text between actual gameplay sections and they werent even walls of text that gave you fun dialogue choices

>>389320365
>warfare and scoundrel
Are they? I haven't played the early access for 2 so my only experience is with the first and playing a warrior character in the first one always felt bad. Maybe I was building wrong or something but every encounter sucked ass for a long time.

I don't run in to too many problems with scoundrel so I don't have reason to believe it won't work in 2 but the first game really soured me on trying a fighter or knight character in 2.

>>389326829

The wiki only has access to act 1 abilities, so none of the higher level stuff is in there.

>>389326715
Well I think explorer mode is for people more interested in the story and exploring than combat. I'm interested in both, so it's classic for me. Tactician is supposed to be quite difficult I believe, and I don't have the patience for extremely difficult turn-based shit.

I didn't play much farther into the Early Access than walk around 5 steps on the boat, in order to have a fresh experience once the full game drops.
Is summoning viable? I tried it out on the ship, first create a puddle of element and then summon a familiar from that puddle. Was kinda surprised by how small the dude was, in D:OS1 there were fuckhuge spiders and shit

>>389327140
>Tactician is supposed to be quite difficult I believe, and I don't have the patience for extremely difficult turn-based shit.

It's not THAT difficult if you have the right build. People who said "don't spread yourself too thin!" in OS1 clearly never played on a difficulty higher than Classic.

>>389323256
I found this bar floozy who thought she was my female elf's soulmate after a couple lines of flirting, so there's that.

in original sin 1, there were some cheeky one hit wonders, like the reposition skill (archers?) had. can this be done again? take a couple 1 point utility skills from other classes or are these locked behind a greater investment into that class?

I went back to DivOS with the epic encounters mod just to see what the fuss is about. Pretty interesting, I like the merged traits and some of the new ones, plus reactions are kinda cool, if a little weird.

Anyone know of any interesting builds, though? I'm having trouble with stat spread. Stats are a little hard to come by, and for every little thing I need around 9-ish, plus meeting the requirements for equipment. Tried making a two-handed pyromancer in light armor and some scoundrel abilities that don't require daggers, but shit is all over the place. Might decide to scrap light armor and scoundrel in favor of just going full strength, some int, heavy armor and soldier skills along with pyrokinetics, but I dunno.

>>389320202
I wouldn't really advice that. Skeleton sounds compelling but you will most definitely need to use a guide. It is a very complex game for first timers. Why don't you play as the Red Prince. He is really cool.

>>389328198
It seems like you only need one point in the skill school in order to learn all the skills. Higher ranked skills take up more memory slots instead, and you get memory slots once every few levels and by putting attribute points into Memory. Putting further points into the skill school gives you different benefits like doing more damage to physical armour (warfare) or recovering health when dealing damage to an enemy's vitality (necromancy).

>tfw absolutely no idea what class to play

Divinity is the only interesting crpg for me. Finished act 1 twice already in coop. Can't wait

Why would you complain about balance if you haven't played the game yet?

So I didn't play the early access, is that physical/magical armor a good mechanic or does it make the game less fun and is it a problem for hybrid builds ?

How much grinding do these games have?

>>389332960
It somewhat forces you to have a physical and magical damage source in your party.

>>389333227
Basically none

>>389333349
Oh really. Can you go some more into your answer?

My girlfriend and I are going to run through the first game in preparation for this. What's the most fun build?

>>389333416
Enemies don't respawn and you can kill literally anyone. That means there's a finite amount of experience + experience you get from quests. You can kill enemies that are higher leveled with good strategy, but it will be difficult. Basically, you can level as much as you want. But I felt in my playthrough of the EA was that explanation was given fairly.

Staff/warfare is awful. Your warfare skills do magic damage but still save against physical, so charge/stomp/cripple are all going to fail against an enemy who has even 1 armor left.

My characters from the first game, just lichified.

>con artists pretending to be Source Hunters
>dickass thief and charismatic leader type
>one distracts npcs while the other sneaks around and robs them blind
>headcanon is that they were such amazing thieves they managed to steal life from Death

Also are the guards like, psychic now or something? One of the videos featured a character getting stopped by guards ("You have the look of a thief" or something like that) but that may have been in DM mode or something too. Sneaking around constantly doesn't seem fun, especially considering my characters are going to have to veil themselves anyway.

Not exactly, there are a handful of low level Scoundrel skills to pick up which will make nearly all characters extremely strong.

The one which gives you +AP for X turns. I forgot the name is ridiculous.
I had a wand spec and a ranger which both picked up the skill and I had a blast destroying everything by the time the enemy gets 1 turn.

You want to fix the above make it so instead of an arbitrary skill check you have to read a book thats relevant to the information and force the player to remember it themselves. Not fucking hand them the solutions to everything because they specced one way or another.

>>389317048

I only play Japanese games.

I really want to like OS1, but nothing hooks me. I know it's a good game, I know I'd have fun with it if I continue, but good lord they made it so boring in the first hour or 2.
I just think I have a tough time getting through these things. PoE is somewhat the same way but the story I find a bit more interesting.

>>389338458

The entire point is to ROLE PLAY yourself as a character you dumb shit

Reading a book WITH your character but learning something yourself you use later. Not fucking getting through an entire game based off your stat levels. You fucking fallout kiddies need to fuck off from the RPG genre, you're the reason it died.

Swen said that they spent a really long time playtesting the first area in OS2 to make it better.

Do we know what Decaying Touch does if you're an undead? Can it invert the damaging effects of healing?

>>389338961
Problem is "play testing" usually means making something by the book so people will find it more accessible. This is both good and bad.

>>389338970
Decay damages you if you heal from ANY source.

>>389339037
Wait so if I'm undead and get hit with Decay, then I walk over poison, I'm fucked?

>>389338742
No, you have no concept of roleplaying. The character's knowledge is entirely separate from your own. You're the kind of person in a D&D session to make actions because the DM explained something that your characters don't know to build up some atmosphere.

>>389339076
Yes, but it also means regular healing either does nothing or actually works positively on you, since it damages undead.

>>389339193
No, regular healing will still damage you.

>>389338525
I don't get this at all, I got hooked the second I found the drunk guards. And when I came to the Homestead I knew I would finish this game in a week. I utterly love personal homes in games.

Who are you guys buying it on Steam or GoG? Both seem pretty fine.

>>389339405
Gog is always better and in this case cheaper.

I've played through act 1 but it was a while ago, does anybody remember how easy/hard it was to get reasonably high fire resistance? I like the idea of being an undead warrior and since I'd get healed from poison I'd need to expect near-constant explosions in close vicinity.

There were so many fucking shenanigans its ridiculous. Like starting each fight with teleporting an enemy between 4 of our characters and absolutely assblasting him before they could do anything, or my friend making his character have around 95%+ resist to all elements so he was just walking forward most of the time, clearing all traps and such
good times
and from what I've seen divinity 2 lets you be even more creative

>>389338742

Why couldn't they work the VN part of Dragon Commander into a proper RPG?

>>389342975
Some of the body parts give a skill that would normally require investing a point.

Can someone explain this "origin" business? I understand there are a couple of pre-made characters w/ a backstory that could also be recruited.

Am I losing out on the story if I make my own characters?

>>389344164
Custom characters have an origin story in VB the full game too that can't be accessed by the handcrafted Origin characters.

>>389344164
From what I gathered, you choose your backstory. What you choose determines how people speak to you and some responses you can select.

Custom characters will have origin stories as well when it launches.

>>389343910
Bait aside, neither of the games are good actually. On one hand you got

>He likes OS1 but hates OS2
How much shit taste can you even muster? The second game improves upon literally everything.

Is it better to have your own custom character or will you miss out on interactions with a full party of the pre-existing ones?

Again, custom characters have origin tags not available to the Origin characters. Which means they have access to personal quests unique to them.

Can you still play a barrelmancer?

>>389343571
In OS1 regeneration worked on skeletons, or whatever the vitality-based heal was. If they naturally have Zombie a Geo would not hurt to have backing you up, though.

Tips on an Ainz Ooal Gown-based character?

>>389343579
Well the artist didn't. He was forced to change it, and he never even tried to keep it a secret how much he didn't like it.

>>389320452
The game's length is directly proportional to how you play it. I've clocked in 48 hours and Iv'e just only arrived in the second city in DOS.
The length mostly comes from combat, it's incredibly slow paced and enemies will fuck you up even in Normal. Great animations, effects and depth greatly makes up for it though. The game's gimmick is you can literally do anything you want with it and there's a fuckton of ways to fight enemies.

Does this one also have the leddit humor?
I could do without hearing a super ham cockney accent every two seconds.

>>389346212
Well they added the reddit alien in as a creature you can fight so I suspect yes.

>>389346212
No, the humour was toned down massively thanks to super serious Americans who can't handle even a small amount of humour in an RPG.

The telekinesis exploit was removed if thats what you mean.

So, as opposed to the previous game, now you only create one main character and the rest is all party members you find trough the game right, because that means more playtroughs

I just downloaded the early release and holy FUCK I can't leave the character creation this is fucking gold.

Will the character creation in the full release have more options aside from undeath or are we confirmed for having everything already?

>>389347489
Yes and yes. You experience the story through your 'main' character's eyes. If you recruit one of the other origin characters as a companion they have their own goal that they'll try to complete alongside you when you meet certain NPCs/locations.
Inquisitor, Battlemage etc. shouldn't be considered classes but rather premade presets that distribute your stats and abilities for you. The only thing the ''''classes''' really determine is your starting weapon.

>>389347190
Yes.
Custom characters have exclusive quests.
Beast has exclusive quests.
Fane has exclusive quests.
Sebille has exclusive quests
The Red Prince has exclusive quests.
Etc.

>>389347596
It looks like there are more options from what they've shown in streams and stuff. Or they might've just changed some of the options.

>>389347642
So the presets you can play with are actually the companions for your party? Like the red prince and shit?

>>389347489
Inquistor fights with magic staff and uses physical abilities, battlemage fights eith regular weapons and uses magic abilities.

>>389347698
Yes, you can find all of them in Fort Joy.

>>389347743
That's disappointing, was expecting to have other characters for companions and the presets ones for creation being only for the player when he wants to play again or whatever.

It's their racial ability and the abilities gained through it are still restricted by the memory stat (how many ability you can have equipped).

>>389350963
Keep in mind that the current EA build is missing 3 or 4 months worth of patches and that half of the abilities used for solo playthroughs will be nerfed on release
You basically just use Adrenaline, skin graft, time warp and the executioner talent to generate absurd amounts of AP and kill as much as you can in a single turn. It's cheesy as hell and I'm grateful they're nerfing the shit out of it.

>>389350706
In the cave where you go down to find Lord Withermoore the kid'll say "You can't get down my way, you've gotta find your own." or something like that and if you click on the little hole it'll say you're too big to fit. Unless you're a dwarf. That and, I BELIEVE that, in the Hidden Alcove where there is the chest hidden behind the waterfall there is a cliff that overlooks a beach. On that cliff face there is a tree trunk which hides a hole that a dwarf can use to tumble down to the bottom of the cliff.
Although, I only did that once and in my first playthrough but I think it was a dwarf hole. I haven't found any other instance of the ability being useful though.

>>389350765
IMO elves are extremely strong, their flesh sacrifice racial is super good and not having to dip levels for things like First Aid or Peace of Mind makes them even better.

If anyone can help me out, Metamorph seems to start with both str and finesse at +2 but they seem counter productive.

Elves seem broken as fuck, but I guess otherwise nobody would play them since really who the fuck wants to be a pansy elf

The six origin characters are gender locked since they're characters with an in-universe background and story.

>>389351393
No idea, I don't THINK the different undead races change anything but your tags for dialogue but maybe they've said something to the contrary. Also, I'm wondering if undead will be able to eat food.

>>389351673
They are balanced though. What they have in utility and good gameplay they lack in looks and aesthetics.

Every other race of every other preset looks better than they do.

>>389351413
You can actually customize the appearances of all of them entirely with the exception of the Red Prince whose skin color you can't change which I found cute.
Also obviously their names and genders are locked like >>389351691 said

>>389351893
Also worth mentioning that you can't make custom a lizard with red skin color.

>>389351775
I don't know about you but once they've activated Flesh Sacrifice and Adrenaline and are running around looking like geared up end game Path of Exile characters I'm totally into it.

>>389347743
And what class do they come with? When creating you are free to do whatever, but I assume each one has their canon class?

>>389351893
I assume you can only customize their looks if you play as that origin? Not if you have them as a companion

>>389352052
Each has their own canon class, but when recruiting them ingame you can ask them to respec. This causes them to start out with one of the different stat/equipment presets.

>>389351213
anyone?

>>389352208
>Each has their own canon class
Do we know what they are? I mean you can have a pretty solid idea from their descriptions but still.

That's all on you. Between rock solid damage that can go straight to oneshot tier damage with buffs(enrage+oath of destruction+bless+power stance+flurry), being nearly unkillable with the right stuff, having good all around CC and utility, and even having basic attacks hit decently hard, they were some of the best warrior-types in any RPG I've ever played.

So I know what I want to do come launch day? Is there a video or two detailing these kinds of things?

>>389349905
>Man at Arms+Hydrosophist+whatever else you want for buffs
>no paladin-like skillsets
I don't get it, what's missing?

>>389353693
>Dwarves petrify people and are small so they're good at sneaking, Elves eat their own flesh to gain extra attack points and can learn extra skills from eating body parts, Lizards breathe fire, Humans can encourage everyone around them to raise their stats, Undead are any of the above
>Classes don't exist, they're just presets for a point-buy system where you can build anything you want but it might suck if you do something retarded, the skill trees are Aerotheurge, Geomancer, Pyrokinetic, Hydrosophist, Necromancer, Summoner, Man at Arms, Polymorph, Huntsman, and Scoundrel

Actually, you'll need 6 playthroughs to see all the content of origin characters. The full quest chain of origins is only available for player's character, your companions will have some but not all. It is not the case for multiplayer though, as both or more players can work fully to completing all their origin character related content through confrontation with each other sometimes (objectives can be mutually exclusive).

I guess he wants to heal with holy instead of water.

>>389354078
He picked the wrong series.

>>389317048
From the thumbnail the middle one looks like the DIE CIS SCUM elf from Dragon Age

>>389354041
That sounds fun as fuck and actually different from the absolutely boring as fuck D&D system that usually plagues crpgs
>Elves are flesh eaters
>Undead are common
I like this

>>389354229
not too sure undead are uncommon as walking into a town whilst rattling your bones will scare everyone shitless

>>389354052
>6 playtroughs of a 60+ hour game to see everything

I guess I'll have to pick my favourites here. I kinda hope they at least let you have a somewhat good ending for companions, because I doubt I'll play the entire thing 6 times just to see all of their stories.

>>389354130
Which is why I asked "can I be a paladin yet".

>>389352589
Redpill me on the red prince. Why do people love him here?

>>389354947
I'm wondering that myself; he's kind of lame to roleplay as because you just end up pissing everyone off. Since he's an entitled prick.

>>389355241
That's why people love him.

>>389355461
Wouldn't that fuck quests up?
I find in RPGs I always end up playing as Sycophant Man because I want to experience all the content, which is stupid because roleplaying and getting into a character is half the fun.

>>389354229
Yeah, the Lizards fill the usual 'Elf' archetype while Elves end up filling the slot you usual see lizardfolk in.

How is it possible that such a good game is coming out in this day and age?
>Isometric but 3d and incredible art/graphics
>Good combat
>Interesting lore
>Good characters

>>389355890
Same here, I usually end up trying to please almost everyone. Though lately I've managed to more of a dick if the situation demands it.

I think playing as Fane/custom skelly will be good for me from a roleplaying perspective. I feel like playing an undead will allow me to more easily dismiss characters and be a dick to them. Being a wizard/necromancer with no sense of right or wrong on top of that also won't hurt.

>>389318423
i love that there is no niger on the cover, so refreshing.

>>389356870
>isometric

>>389357273
Is there a better way to describe the camera?

>>389357445
Yes.

>>389357510
Cool

What race are you going with, anons?
I'm probably gonna be a Undead Dwarf focusing on Rogue skills.
How good is dipping into different skill trees? Like, rogue shit and magic at the same time?

/v/ matchmaking anyone?

Did anyone try matchmaking with randoms on Original Sin 1? I'm thinking of trying that, seeing as I have no friends

>>389357865
why dont you just play by yourself, you dont have to play coop (in fact i dont understand why people want to play this coop)

>>389357865
I can only imagine how awful that would be. I'm way too fucking slow in games like this and I love going slow. Playing with anyone would be tiresome for the both of us.

>>389357692
Girl lizard warrior with a chip on her shoulder.

>>389358124
>>389358079
This.
It's the type of game you need to play at your own pace. No idea why people like the co op so much.

>>389357692
Red Prince 2h build

>>389357692
Either fane / undead lizard as a witch or Ifan as a pseudo death knight

>>389358238
Because you can fuck over your friends.

When does the first original sin game get good? I'm 6 hours in and it's just boring and boring and text and more text

Playing Red Prince Inquisitor right now.

>>389355890
I wouldn't do a Red Prince run as my first run because I'm fully expecting to lose a lot of quests due to being a major prick. Only reason I'm playing one now is because it's only a pre release run I'll abandon soon.

>>389358538
sounds like it isn't a game for you.

>>389357692
Lizard male with Red Prince as LI

>>389359005
What, are the Origin Characters 'playersexual' in DOS2?

>>389358538
Once you get out of the city there's a lot more combat and a lot less text.

>>389359103
I've heard the game has romance.
I assume Red prince is one of LI.

>>389359239
But I dunno, the characters would probably have sexual preferences, no? Is RP even gay?

>Can't get out of the city because too low level
>Can't get more levels beacuse too low level to kill anything

balanced game

>>389359343
They're probably gender agnostic like Skyrim.
