Pretty hopeful. Really, they just need to tighten their writing. That's the only negative that stuck with me from the first game which felt like it was written by interns or something.

He's freelancing for them, but it's not his show to run. So at best you'll be able to pinpoint exactly what he wrote because it'll stand out so much.

>>332507946
I believe the writer for Div:OS died though, so it's probably going to be mainly his writing with the plot, themes and setting provided by Larian.

I actually think EE wasn't that good and was primarily just to sell it again, this time for consoles. It's major contribution was shoddy full VA which will probably only hamper the sequel's budget considering voice overs are expensive as fuck apparently. Wasteland 2 Director's Cut was, in my opinion, a much better 2.0 version in comparison because it did actual changes under the hood.

A good story.
Original Sin was n SINFULLY boring, coop was the only thing that got me going. Also retarted art direction, what is it with shitty cartoony graphics nowdays?
>>
>>332508717
But it has. Writing quality aside in DOS, cheeky writing STYLE was always a thing in Divinity games.
>>
>>332508717
Divine Divinity basically opened with MARDANEUS NOOOOOOOOOOOO and two skeletons debating themselves out of existence. This is literally inarguable.
>>
>>332508602
I can agree with you there, gutting several spells for a more streamlined list was also a bit of a downer, and item stats were also simplified.

Rods were also ridiculously overpowered and it looked like someone messed up stats between rods and staves (2h staff has +3 int, 1h dual wielding 2 rods have +3 int +3 con each and are far more common)

The voice acting was also unwelcome and generally just bad, voicing the main characters was okay but just cut all the ambient shit.

That said, the playing the whole thing in ironman mode was great.

No, it isnt a fact, since its not finished yet.
Also "more mature" doesnt mean the heavy metal cover you want it to be. Original Sin had dark and mature moments itself, they were just padded with silly laughs. \

Oh, and if you mean Avellone, seeing how you post his characters, he is only brought up to write background stories for companions, so at most 4-5 times 2-3 pages.

PoE had one of the most boring stories and worlds in rpgs I played for around 20 years.
>>
>>332509253
They held a survey among Kickstarter backers, and it was voted that people want a more serious presentation of the story.
As a result of this survey, a stretch goal appeared to hire Chris Avellone to write companion backgrounds.

Thats all, this is what he bases his fact on. The game will reuse engine and assets, so it will be in the same color scheme. Also it will be in the same setting and world of talking cats and clams.
It will be "darker" at most in the comments the protagonists make. The character backstories were already serious in the original, with one being a girl you for a necromancer in disguise, the other having made a deal with demons to live forever, etc. Nothing much changes.

Nothing yet, no. Just the overall concept of it.

My problem was specifically from the third level or so downwards, the big-ass skeletons started appearing and I simply couldn't hurt them at all
A quick googling tells me the accepted way to defeat them is to learn meteorstrike (even as a warrior) to fuck them up
Guess I'll go spellcaster then, are they as OP as in D2?

Terribly false equivalency.
Kickstarter funding mostly works as a preorder.
You just get the money you would get from sales earlier.
Most people dont give you more than what is required to gain a copy.

Further, Kickstarter doesnt give you enough money. It is a fraction of your total budget.
DOS didnt take 1 million to develop. You clearly have no idea how much rent and wages for a belgian dev team would cost for that amount of time, or to hire what is essentially a russian rockstar to make music, and to have both long and voiced dialogues.

Pretty much. I played a spellcaster/archer hybrid and was killing way out of my weight-class maybe 10 hours in. Divinity: OS is really the first game where Larian learned how to balance stuff properly.

Two more things about the first dungeon: First, when you get the second pyramid, you want to get up the village again and put one pyramid besides a bed. This way you can escape and rest without any trouble whenever you want.

Second: The dungeon is very long and pretty boring. Nobody really knows why Larian put the literally longest dungeon in the entire game (!) right at the beginning, but apparently they thought it would be a good idea. Don't give up, it gets better afterwards. You are supposed to leave the village after clearing the dungeon, then you are also properly leveled for the orcs outside.
>>
>>332510668
man, this sounds too fucking ambitious
>>
>>332511623
nope. preorders are preorders. you're not promised anything with kickstarter. you're donating money in the hopes the developer will deliver.
>>
>>332511883
Wait until you get to the part where you can have four players doing four quests in different parts of the world, all permanent and persistent.
It is really ambitions, I hope they manage to do half of it.
>>
>>332511823
Already knew the pyramid thing and used it extensively last time I played
>dungeon length
Alright I will keep that in mind
Should be okay though since you can teleport at any time

How are mages in D:OS? What's the point of being a mage if your basic magic missile can't kill every enemy you encounter?
>>
>>332511908
I give 40 euro, the cost of one game, and I am promised to get the game once its done.
How is this not like preordering?

This is the deal most people go for. They would've bought the game anyways, only now they bought it before its finished, so their money can be used to work on the game longer.
>>
>>332511975
>How are mages in D:OS?
Extremely powerful, does enough damage to stay relevant on that front and shits out buffs, debuffs, and battlefield control like crazy in a game where all of those are important.
>>
>>332512036
Not the guy you're talking to but you aren't promised anything
You'll get the game IF it gets made
Now, you can be pretty sure with Larian but there are plenty of devs who ran with the money

They have plenty of uses, depending on the skills you pick. Most important is probably the elemental damage. Original Sin's combat is heavily based on elemental damage and elmental resistances, there are plenty of enemies with certain vunerabilites, invulnerabilites and some even heal when being damaged by a certain element. Normal fighters are usually very limited in the damage types they can deal and serve more as a tank for the archers and mages in the second row. Also, you can interact with the environment in pretty much every fight, using elements. You will be very happy to have water mage that can conjure rain once your entrie frontline is standing in a bushfire. Also, mages serve as clerics. They are able to heal, debuff and stuff like that. They can also conjure mobs that can deal good amounts of damage and have plenty of hitpoints, some even with a taunt ability. Most fights, even on lower difficulty are also impossible without being able to control bosses with big amounts of mobs by freezing the main boss or stunning him while dealing with the smaller enemies. The combat is actually of the best parts of the game, even if it lacks in other departments.
>>
>>332512036
you give 40 euro and you get a promise they are not obligated to fulfill, you realize that right? you are still giving them money so they can sell a product to other people. you are giving them money so they can make money.

I am giving them money so I can get a copy of the game they will make using my money.
I don't know why you are even arguing something so basic and simple. I pay the price of a game, and I get a game when its done.

I imagine you are the Obsidian fanboy, so I'll just remind you that Larian have made more games than Obsidian, and unlike Obsidian can be trusted to actually finish and release their games.
>>
>>332512390
not the guy but, I give them money because I trust them (because they delivered once already and also the KS is not 100% of budget) and want them to make a better game

I really, really hope for stable and flexible modding, and a toolset like neverwinter nights had because there still is no game to replace it.

But overall I just hope for good times and replayability. Maybe a pointy wizard hat and less muscular humans.

>>332511883
Well unlike the first divinity they already have the engine. So they have more ressources. Sound doable.

>>332512534
>>332512610

if someone wants to sell you a product they are too afraid to get actual investors involved with, chances are you're in for a bad time and broken promises. I don't care about larian vs obisidian, but nice try.
>>
>>332513000
Did you watch the PC Gamer presentation?
He says they wanted a turn based game, and the publisher forced them to make it real time.
This happened three times. THREE TIMES the investor wanted to change the way gameplay works.
They could only make it turn based when they went independent.

Basically you have no argument and you keep repeating the same nonsense.
Also, wasnt Pillars of Eternity crowd funded as well? Got more money, too, despite looking much worse.
>>
>>332513000
Except they've already proven they can deliver and have good reason not to sell out to investors, which they have a bad history with.

I'd much rather they remain self published, I trust their decisions a lot more than I would some potential investor with deluded ideals and dreams of greater profit margins at expense of good game design.\

Seriously though why in the everloving fuck would you advocate a company selling out?
>>
>>332513000
They have made plenty of games, and almost none of them were bad. I mean, most of them are flawed in one way or the other, some even have serious issues. But in the end, almost every game delivered and accomplished what they were trying to do. I haven't backed OS2, but seriously, I think that Larian can be trusted on this one. They have earned it.

they did it once, made money. I guess putting up your own money to make a sequel is out of the question, right? better to promise the world to random people and hope they'll take the bait. publisher wanted real time because turn based is a niche market.

They are putting up their own money, you imbecile. The Kickstarter money isnt enough to fund the whole game.
You were told this multiple times. A game costs more than a million dollars, especially when developed by veterans in an expensive country with a homebrew engine.
>>
>>332513358
Anon, why are you discussing matters without actually knowing what you're talking about?

Answer me this.

They invested their own money into Div:OS as well and did the kickstarter so they could add more stuff and improve the game

This second kickstarter is purely to establish a budget and base how much they can do with this game on that, and why the fuck wouldn't they want to make the game as good as they can afford, you seem convinced they pocket all the money but the company has literally invested everything they have in every new game they've made, and to presume this one is different is just grasping.

Larian isn't some multi-million dollar publisher, and they have a history of being more ambitious than they could afford to be, so why not see what you can actually fund first?
>>
>>332513358
They are putting their own money, plus the money from ks for more features, simple. It's not like whole game is funded on ks.
>>
they need to have a game and a perpus for once.
I stopped playing half through that desert shit just because the combat was going stale at that point and there was nothing left to keep me going.

The first one was a typical, "you are the chosen one, and ancient evil awakens" thing. Not that that bothered me, but I do hope the new one has a story that's a little more intriguing.

Maybe new classes, I know kikestarter backers are voting on new classes right now, but I just hope that Necromancy doesn't fucking win. It would be cool, but we already had the same thing in witchcraft. I mean it would be cool to revive dead enemies to fight for you, but I can think of several other classes that would be more interesting.

Other than that, small fixes like the accidental move order you make when you're trying to click on an enemy but he moves an inch and you miss click. I also had some problems when loading into co-op; my stats would just disappear and we'd have to reload.

4 player co-op

Game is amazing in co-op honestly, while it's fine singleplayer the co-op really shines, partly because when things go bad it's much more fun to see your partner get melted than a pawn you control.
>>
>>332508861
>gutting several spells for a more streamlined list was also a bit of a downer
This.
Why did they take feather drop out of it? Now I can't teleport my companions out of a fight if they get caught out of position because they take the damage personally and storm off.
>>
>>332513936
Try to learn how to read cuck.
>>
>>332514960
Air elementals get the feather drop spell so you can use that, but that's a small comfort.

This does allow you to stand way back and summon an air elemental to almost switch places with another character and allows more range and flexibility, but it costs a bit more AP to pull it off.
>>
>>332515092
Cuck doesn't seem like a language that'd benefit me in any capacity anon, I must insist you do a better job of writing in basic English.

Stuff like reanimation enemies you've just slain to fight for you. That shit sounds cool.

Does anyone else have any cool ideas?

I just acquired netherswap on my playthrough with a friend, so I can use that to get me out of trouble.

Bone Armor, Bone Spear, etc classic spells from ye olde RPGs.
I dont think there is much room for innovation for a stereotypical necromancer.

Also wasnt the class called "summoner" and not necromancer?
This has very different implications.

Listen newfag,

I thought I was clear the first time as to what was in my problem with the game.
The game ran out of steam halfway through (the desert area, can't remember the name).

The combat becomes repetitive once it stops being novel. The story, characters, world design, and lore are bad and gave me no reason to continue playing D:OS.

Clear enough for you, dickface?
>>
>>332515432
>no companions nullifying your decisions
But the entire reason for that system is conflict in the party
>>
>>332515638
How is this any different from what we concluded before "I didn't like it"?

>The novelty is the only draw in the combat
Seems like a personal issue dear, get checked for ADD perhaps?
>Everything else is bad
>Because I say so

Okay well thanks for sharing with the class dear, be sure to look forward to the sequel were things will hopefully be "less bad" whatever that means in your pretty little head.
