Divinity: Original Sin 2 Pre-Release Thread

[Zeriel]

Any examples of his SJWism?

He's a game journo? Most public-facing individuals in the gaming industry are at least superficially SJW, anyway. That's how it works. It's basically a protection racket--either you tow the line or you get targeted.

 

[Fry]

I recall him being one of the few big game site reviewers who actually somewhat cared about non-popamole RPGs, so that's something.

 

[Zeriel]

I mean, we have monocled gentlemen who appreciate fine RPGs on this very site who are also neo-nazis. That's not so surprising. The forces of Incline and Decline pay no heed to political beliefs.

 

[Spectacle]

How likely is it that this game will actually be released in 2016?

 

[HoboForEternity]

How likely is it that this game will actually be released in 2016?

0.3 percent

 

[Nekot-The-Brave]

0%

 

[V_K]

50% - either they will, or they won't.

 

[Lacrymas]

Percentages don't work that way. If I ask "what is the chance a pigeon will fly through the window in the next 3 seconds?" the answer won't be 50% (either it will or it won't), because there is a million other things a pigeon can do besides flying through my window. Same with the release date, there are a million other factors.

 

[V_K]

The funniest thing about chances is that the chance some smartass won't get your joke and come explaining things is always 100%, no matter how obvious (or in this case - tired) the joke is.

 

[LESS T_T]

Looks like they're coordinating Gamescom media blitz.

 

[Infinitron]

Release date announcement imminent?

 

[HoboForEternity]

Release date announcement imminent?

More like delay announcement

 

[pakoito]

I wonder, if this turns out to be the real Ultima VII killer, how Swen will feel afterwards.

 

[LESS T_T]

A "big" KS update is coming before the blitz, very soon:

 

[Jaesun]

Why is he going to Seattle?

 

[V_K]

Why is he going to Seattle?

Collaboration with HBS incoming? )

 

[LESS T_T]

Collaboration with Whalenought and Jaesun incoming.

Making Narrative Work in a Multiplayer CRPG

SPEAKERS:Swen Vincke

How do you make a CRPG where you give players plenty of freedom while still letting them experience a powerful narrative, and where you let them play with or against each other? And how do you ensure it feels great in single player? Comes with plenty of real examples from Divinity: Original Sin 2.

I sense secret project incoming.

 

[Fry]

Read the tweet. Press tour.

[Lacrymas]

I wonder if developers who read these forums take the criticisms seriously or are just like "Ah, *those* guys; they always hate on everything, so who cares?".

Any dev who's been around for awhile has learned to separate bullshit from useful criticism.

David Gaider and the entirety of Bethesda prove otherwise.

When every game you churn out sells millions of copies, it's probably sensible to think you're dong what fans want.

Bethesda fans like bad games.
