They should hire the guys(?) from Oglaf to write romances, they write the best ones.

I thought Oglaf was done by a girl.

No, link?

I thought Oglaf was done by a girl.

I think it is girl & guy combo, with girl doing the drawing.

I would like to see the game on PC , not sure why are they demonstrating it on console , probably trying to console gamers . So , now characters can ressurect themselves , seems logical as there is competition now . Well , now I understand why Larian is unsure about 4 characters party , but I still hope they will implement this .

The game has always been running on a PC... Can't you see the mouse&keyboard in front of the screen. They are only using xbox controllers.

Even after reading your post I still can't spot nor keyboard nor mouse . But if this is the UI for PC version that is just awful .

EDIT:
I got you . They are on pictures , but I skipped them and was talking about twitch video .

There's a controller UI and a M&Kb UI, so you're seeing the controller UI.

Knowing this gives me a big relief .

You can see the PC UI from D:OS 2 in the AngryJoe stream.

It's pretty similar looking to D:OS except it has a few extra buttons by the portraits and no chain links. I hope they eventually rework the skill bar a bit. Once they patched in the hotkeys for switching hotbars that helped a lot. Still could be better though.

 

[Grokalibre]

It's a pre-alpha and you guys are talking like they're presenting the final product.

 

[LESS T_T]

Yeah, they're saying current UI is same as D:OS EE version and will revamp it as development goes.

Thanks for the link, good interview. Romances, consoles and some forced diversity how 2015 of them! I'll probably still buy the game but might not back it since it's getting made anyway. Interviewer said most of the people he met during the interview didn't work on DOS1, not sure I like that. I get a feel they are trying to push the envelope and are moving away from a traditional single player PC RPG, if that's true that's their perogative but I will be playing something else (if that is in fact true in the future).

@ Paul Schleck: We're not currently saying what platforms D:OS 2 will launch on. Right now we are 100% focused on building a great game, and porting that to platforms outside of Windows will come later. While a lot of the foundations have been laid to have this on Mac, and other platforms, we'll be making changes to the engine as we develop, and we don't want to promise anything yet.

Highly nebulous post, this.

 

[Nekot-The-Brave]

It's kind of like this: Instead of getting off track and developing 3 or 4 different engines at once, they'll focus on getting a golden version of the PC engine, and then port it to the other platforms from there.

 

[Aenra]

I hope the same goes for languages;
Takes way too much time waiting for localisation and then play-testing each version. All for what? Entitled young fucks. My native language is not English, my parents were not well off (in the sense that i was not privileged with some above-average education). Was reading my books and playing my games in English since i pretty much got into them really. Never saw the issue

If cannot into Inglecio, read more, speak mucho improvement.
But as always, that's me. Scores of entitled people, s.p.e.c.i.a.l. categories and equal rights drones will i'm sure disagree.

Actually, it's kind of like this: They don't know yet if the EE won't be a huge flop on consoles, so committing to a console port for another game of this type right now would be dumb.

 

[imweasel]

Even if they are planning a console port it is wiser not to say so to keep PC gamers at ease ("consoletard UI and controls" etc. pp.). Just state that PC is the lead platform and that no ports are planned, then everybody is happy.

D:OS 2 has got legs:

Guys, they said Avellone won't be a stretch goal, or am I dreaming? Trying to find a quote I thought that I saw.

That would be a nightmare, not a dream.

I think you're just in your own personal nightmare. I see no evidence of this on twitter, kickstarter comments, and my google-fu is failing me.

What's up with the skill trees? D: OS didn't really have skill trees, right? And now skill trees are the stretch goals. Did Sven explained how do they work?

That's why you should always read the front page reports.

Bubbles: By "skill trees" you still mean the same skill system as before, right?

Sarah: Yeah. It's the system of Original Sin...

 

[Jedi Exile]

Then why it's a stretch goal?
