Divinity: Original Sin Pre-Release Thread

It's kind of a brilliant reversal - when this campaign started people were doubtful it would reach any stretch goals and look at where we are now.

For once, we can thank the unwashed masses following their mainstream gaming media overlords for actually contributing to something worthwhile.

Also, Larian for doing a stupendous job on their KS campaign.

Yeah, it's a weird feeling to realize that I have some joy in part thanks to creatures like totalbald, angryspic, or even sites like kotaku.

I spent good part of the morning thinking how I could raise my pledge, since I'm kinda broken.
Finally I bite the pillow and did something I didn't do in 15 years: borrowed money from my mother, with all the shame attached.
Then I went to the bank to deposit those precious money and be sure they stay there till the billintg time.

15 more eurogoldcoins incoming, now you HAVE to make 1M.

You've begged for money but you haven't stolen money yet. You didn't do enough for Larian, I'm disappoint.

Dammit, now realize i have to go to lunch with family in one hour... i am going to miss the beginning of the live play.

Why not just convince mother to pledge? Lol.

Then he'd have to play the game with her.

Man, you've gotta prioritize.

I don't think this preview has been linked to before:

That one is actually pretty entertaining. And, in between the previewer shenanigans, you get some more informations about quests you might have seen in other previews. So, there's this guy Jake, who has been murdered, probably by his wife who is involved with a nobleman. But, apparently, the murdered guy also left his tomb and is now probably one of the undead plaguing the town, etc.
This kind of "spiderwebs" branching quests are really what's missing from modern-day rpgs. And it looks like Larian are gonna do a great job with them.
So, once gain, massive to our new dialogue-driven overlords !
Good luck, ForkTong & co for the last hours !

Actually I accepted a bribe (at work) in order to pledge on Larian Kickstarter. And I never do those things. I know it is not stealing but is as close as I can get to it.

Should've asked for a bigger bribe.

I'm from Italy. Here every cash you handle is stolen from somewhere else.

Now that's a marketing blurb that belongs on the box.

Yeah, Italy has been in a constant decline since before the fall of the Western Roman Empire.

 

[LESS T_T]

When I tried to convince my friend to pledge and he asked me "So is it Diablo-like Skyrim with XCOM-like combat?", I said YES. And that made him pledge anyway.

I'll tell him the truth 5 hours later.

 

[Jack Dandy]

Aight fuck it

Throwing in an extra 6bux for the weresheep thing. Here's hoping it helps reach that last goal

It ain't called Original Sin for nothing.

Who knows, perhaps playing something with actual c&c, with proper reactivity and great TB combat, might have a lot of them realize how shallow and tasteless the mainstream grub actually is. I have no doubt that for a whole generation, many of the possibilities offered in this game will seem like new and innovative, simply because they haven't been exposed to this type of gameplay at all.

But stealing wasn't the original sin. It was eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. So you're totally wrong. It was because of Eve that stole the... OH SHI-!

Well it's not as if we have a dozen. At the moment we have two, from Sweden. Last year we had one from Norway iirc. We try to keep the good ones.
