Divinity: Original Sin Pre-Release Thread

Wow... i missed that when i played the game... that is great!

 

[Roguey]

Slightly-belated congratulations to Larian for beating Dead State wrt number of backers.

So... in the update, it seems to imply Zandalor has been alive for at least a thousand or so years. So... he's Maxos (in some capacity), right?

One of the computer enemies in Dragon Commander was named Zandalor in one of the Videos as well.

That is because Farhang always comes up with the weirdest default nicknames so we took "normal" ones...

Haha, when he demoed Dragon Commander for me, it was Bismarck.

While they don't have impressive crowds next to Fargo's projects, they do have a very dedicated fan-base, with a quite nice $47 average pledge per backer, on par with Torment 2 and Wasteland 2, while Dead State, Banner Saga, Legends of Eisenwald and Xenonauts are at ~$33 per person.

What's pretty shocking to me is the average donation per backer that Shroud of the Avatar had: almost $86 (sic!).

MMO players are used to paying through their noses.

 

[Zeriel]

And I'm not sure, but I think Zandalor is a lot like Fizban.

He's James Bond from the future? (I love Death Gate Cycle.)

 

[ForkTong]

Can someone PM me regarding the extras we'd like to give to RPGCodex when reaching certain amounts with your fundraiser campaign?

 

[Garod]

Just wait till they add the dancing weresheep to the update video LOL

And getting shit for it.

DarkUnderlord? Crooked Bee? Jaesun?

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Infinitron ?

Sorry, in English?

 

[ERYFKRAD]

I'm a guessing he means Codex-exclusive loot in exchange for fundraiser.

Like how we haz 30 game copies of T:ToN to give away to the donors, so to speak.

 

[ForkTong]

My shot at English: I would very much like to engage in a private conversation with one of the organisers of the Kickstarter campaign started here for the benefit of Divinity: Original Sin, via this forum's messaging system, or email, or other means of communication that are deemed more preferable, to announce and discuss the extra efforts Larian Studios wishes to commit itself to regarding RPGCodex's campaign, which are, as a figure of speech, in essence nothing more than extra carrots thanks to which more funds may be raised.

My go at simplicity: we wanna give you extra shit for your campaign, let's talk.

If not in private message, let's just do it here.

So here's my proposal for one of the things:
Put a bridge with 3 trolls into the game and call them Volourn, Andhaira and FretRider.
The names are of course up to debate. Actually a (extensive) troll cave might be the better solution to justify the sheer amount of trolls to put into the game.

 

[felipepepe]

Nah, no homege to retraded trolls that just mess the Codex. We have a chance to add something to a RPG, you wanna add a guy we banned?

no

 

[Zep Zepo]

A potion I can drink that eliminates all Weresheep from my game.

Zep--

 

[Jaesun]

You can do that with the editor.

 

[Zeriel]

I thought they said the editor can't affect the main campaign.

Yeah well no. I'd rather honour the Codex as a whole than specific people. And if we did, even though I'm not fond of it, it would be people who really contributed to make it what it is today, not retarded people who contribute little and are just annoying.

 

[Zep Zepo]

I asked about the editor before, don't think I ever got an answer on if you can edit the entire game proper or just make add ons/modules/TCs with it.

Zep--

An intelligent, talking book that just spews nonstop vileness would be pretty appropriate, but probably outside the scope of the way Larian has donations structured.

Zep: If you wanna edit the campaign, you can, but it'll make an extra, local copy of it so you can edit it. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to play online anymore (data mismatch).

Of course, if you make changes to the campaign, you can play it in mp as well, but only if your mp partner has the same data.

Ahhh, excellent.
