wow, the illustration is atrocious.

 

[LESS T_T]

Remind me of Yoshitaka Amano.

 

[a Goat]

I thought it'll be some new franchise. Either way time for the Second Original Sin.

 

[Anthedon]

Another Kickstarter? Going to wait for the EE this time.

 

[kain30]

oh yes, oh yes, OH YES!!!!!

i love OS. I hope this one will be as good as the first.

 

[a Goat]

wow, the illustration is atrocious.

Kinda meh.

It's weird because the Original Sin cover("fixed" or not) looks cool. EE looks bad tho.

 

[Jedi Exile]

There are four of them now. Does it mean that these are all party members?

[imweasel]

Awesome!



I'm kind of surprised they are going back to Kickstarter although D:OS sold so well. But Kickstarter is a pretty good marketing tool, so why not.

 

[Siveon]

Cool, but consoles already? I prefer the old approach where you make the PC game first and console port that shit ala the late 90s early 00s.

But, still, I like Larian so I'm glad this is happening.

 

[Abu Antar]

Sequel to last years personal GOTY of mine? I'm all in baby!

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

wow, the illustration is atrocious.

Uh, it's not "ugly art style" per se, it's just... Edgy spiky armors, ugh. My second least favorite kind of armors.
Then again the top leader in that chart and my absolutely least favorite is "giant pauldrons armor" which was heavily featured in the first game.

But I'm sure I'll have time to regret these words when character models will be shown and they will feature spiky armors *with* giant pauldrons and horned helms on top of that, too.

Oh fuck it, who cares. If it's anywhere near as good as the first I will play it anyway.

Also... should the darker tone of this cover art suggest that they listened to all the fuckers who whined against "light-hearted" writing and they are going for grimdark and edgy this time?
Because that would be a massive sin on your consciences; the light-hearted parts of D:OS were the most likable ones, while it turned rather dull every time it tried too hard to switch to "epic and serious".

 

[MightyHoax]

Will pledge at the lowest available tier for the game. No need for physical shit this time.

 

[AstroZombie]

Coming to PC and consoles

 

[Athelas]

Promising a console version gets the Kickstarter more backers.

 

[Jaedar]

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hoping for something else.

 

[Konjad]

Awesome!

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hoping for something else.

Yeah. When they hinted two new projects in pre-production I hoped for at least one entirely new setting.
Maybe the next one.

 

[Abu Antar]

I hoped for something new too, but then again, I wasn't expecting Original Sin II. All is well in the world.

I still hope for the other project, whatever it is, to be something other than a Divinity game.

Uh, it's not "ugly art style" per se, it's just... Edgy spiky armors, ugh. My second least favorite kind of armors.
Then again the top leader in that chart and my absolutely least favorite is "giant pauldrons armor" which was heavily featured in the first game.

The problem lies in composition.
In Original Sin, despite retarded armour, the composition was great which imo. saved the cover from being generic:

The good news is that the bottom right female looks elfish and you have lizardmen here, maybe other races will be playable.

 

[Jedi Exile]

Yeah. When they hinted two new projects in pre-production I hoped for at least one entirely new setting.
Maybe the next one.

One a safe bet and one more risky, perhaps?

 

[His Majesty]

Awesome! Still wondering who is in charge of coming up with names for their games though, jesus christ.

 

[LESS T_T]

Coming to PC and consoles

Eh, sorry, I misread the article. There's no mention of platforms yet.

 

[Sjukob]

I like D:OS , but I don't want the sequel/prequel . I was hoping that they will come up with something new .

 

[Abu Antar]

BTW, I actually read the article and it doesn't say that this is coming to console. The platforms mentioned are about the first game.
