Divinity: Original Sin Pre-Release Thread

And their DRM-less-ness puts them over 9000 levels above steam.

But how will you be able to act insufferably smugly by showing off you game collection and time spent playing without Steam? Eh? EH?

 

[Darth Roxor]

I bet Swen comes here only for /gd/ that's why you don't see him post much in gaming forums

 

[Monty]

Swen does post here occasionally, such as on the news thread to explain the early launch of the Divinity OS kickstarter.

He's lar_q

 

[felipepepe]

So which one of you is Sven Vincke?

There's a Swen in all of us... or soemthing like that.

 

[evdk]

Sven has an account here, he's just not very active. Probably just browses the forum for reactions.

Wouldn't surprise me if Sven and many other devs come here using alts and VPNs.

Sven actually is Roguey. Trolling helps him blow off steam.

Josh Sawyer actually is Roguey. Trolling helps him blow off steam.

That would be so funny if it was true.

Codex is above the Watch, finally! (but only in number of pledges)

Wait, what? Where is this information? If there's a Codex VS Watch pissing contest I want to at least see it!

In bro Swen's blog:

Also, note that his mailbox got 1k more unread messages since Saturday.

A lot of prestigious codexers have referrer headers disabled after the icecube frog incident that ravaged the Let's Plays. We're probably responsible for a not inconsiderable share of the direct traffic entry.

 

[catfood]

Swen uses a Mac?

 

[Mortmal]

I am not using the referer either, and just raised my pledge , just for the sake of supporting the local industry ! I think the amount of money brought by codexers is greatly underestimated as not only we dont use links and referes but we also type urls directly(unbelievable!) and use search engine...Theres way more traffic here than on the watch , forums there are almost dead.

 

[imweasel]

Swen doesn't use Windows?

Fixed.

 

[ForkTong]

Swen uses a Mac?

It's actually lots of fun. It's one of those things we keep making fun of, and the more we laugh, the more die-hard about it he becomes.

 

[ForkTong]

So, I understand ForkTong is with Larian?
I have some question, then;

1. Bit of a silly question, but will there be keyboard movement controls?

2. What do the "personality" stats like contempt, compassion change?

1. Not at the moment, but it's not hard to do. Seems weird though. Who'd want to play an isometric party game with WASD?
2. Will be addressed in one of the following updates. Your RPGCodex emissary had a great idea, for instance.

Gragt, care to share your insights with the rest of the class?

I played Civ2 primarily with the numpad

 

[Corporate_Jew_Master]

Can't let the nasty trorrs outpledge me.

 

[ForkTong]

I played Civ2 primarily with the numpad

And I played early FPS games without a mouse. Still FPS games and Civ2 are not isometric party based RPGs. It's doable, but not in tb combat. And you're still gonna have to grab a mouse to interact with items and the lot. Unless you want to "highlight" first and press a button. Smells like a controller to me.

 

[tuluse]

I said primarily, not entirely

To be honest, I'd rather WASD map to moving the camera than characters. that still leaves the numpad free

 

[imweasel]

Yup, WASD is used to move the camera in an isometric game.

 

[ForkTong]

Arrows keys move the camera. Can be easily mapped to WASD. (Before you ask: yes to shroud and fog of war.)

 

[Lancehead]

Dragon Age Origins had keyboard movement and it was rather fine.

Can't you fuck up at least a little? This unprecedented incline is scaring me.

 

[imweasel]

DAO is not isometric and it doesn't have a fixed camera either.

 

[Jaedar]

Neverwinter nights 2 had WASD movement. Seemed kind of unnecessary but I'm sure someone got a kick out of it.
