How are you guys enjoying Divinity Original Sin 2?

How are you guys enjoying Divinity Original Sin 2?

It's out? Early access?

I haven't finished the first one yet.

how do I git gud?
any OP builds?

>spoiling a likely great game by playing an incomplete version
us gamers, eh?

You can play lizards? Fucking great.

I put 40 hours into the early access demo of OS 1 and can't bring myself to go through it all again in the full version.
So I'm not touching this one until it's out.

is the writing decent this time around?
is the story and characters mature?
are the shitty lolsorandum jokes gone?
FUCK RPG CODEX!

Do quests have directions or at least hints now?
Does it have an actual tutorial this time?

I quit playing the first one because after 20 hours I couldn't figure out how to progress and because my weapon was completely destroyed from hacking a door apart since I didn't know about the secret key that there was no way of finding unless I went on a pixel hunt.

If neither of these problems are fixed then I seriously hope they go bankrupt

>beta testing for free

Youre just a literal retard

>You're a retard because you didn't use a guide to tell you how to play

crpg's are not for you son
try skyrim, fallout 4 or dragon age inquisition

>being a retard
Sometimes I wonder what would've happened to people like you back in ancient times or anytime up to the industrial revolution

>If I call him a casual he has to go away!
crpgs are great, original sin is not, and neither will the sequel if it refuses to fix two very simple problems.

It's not 1980, pixel hunts for a key with no hint as to where it could be is no longer acceptable

>It's not 1980
>bg was released in 1998
son, you don't know what you're talking about
you need to go back to mass effect 3

Sounds like you're the only one with a problem.

Getting angry at me doesn't make it go away, original sin is still wasted potential
>1998
That's even worse, there were plenty of games that smartened up before then

nah its still lighthearted

Why does that lizard have tits?

Do you need to be one of backers to get access for it? I missed my window, but I want to play.

>Getting angry at me doesn't make it go away
>Getting angry
don't kid yourself
>there were plenty of games that smartened up before then
name some

...I don't think your problems got fixed, user

Fallout 3 as example, and the divinity series should be fucking ashamed of that, because as bad as Fallout 3 was it STILL learned from mistakes of yesteryear as where divinity did not.

It's a game made by Larian. That should be more than enough to answer your questions.

>Fallout 3 as example
you seriously need to get the fuck out son

Because it can autismo

...

Not going near it, want to go in fresh.
But tell me, is the starting zone like Cyceal?
How's the music?

When does it unlock? I still don't see the option on Steam.

I was playing it on a controller and I didn't need to pixel hunt since I could use 'area search' which automatically listed all the items on a given area around the character.

Don't know how it is when playing with a m+kb

>But tell me, is the starting zone like Cyceal?
I've explored like half of the encampment, so far it's similar. But instead of an uninteresting murder mystery you have a few more but shorter questlines which are much more interesting.

You hold alt to highlight items

>this entire post

Again with the game not explaining anything, I have 20+ hours in that game and didn't know about such a simple feature.

>if I post a reaction image your post becomes invalid!
no

People who backed the game got access a day early. The game goes live today and yeah to whoever asked you can play as a qt lizard girl.

D:OS is on sale right now, really wondering if I should get it or not.

Did you read the manual?

It literally tells you during the tutorial of the first game.

Are you the same retard from yesterday shitting up the last thread with your stupidity?

piss off dumbfuck

The game doesn't come with a manual, I got the digital version

>It literally tells you during the tutorial of the first game.
If it does then you'll have no problem proving that

Your anger changes nothing

Steam version has a digital manual, are you going to complain that Steam didn't tell you about that either? It's a feature of all their games in your library.

Retard.

he probably pirated it, ignore this stupid little shit

Played it for like an hour. Picked the elf, then picked up the lizard, even though it seems the elf should want to kill the lizard, because fuck not having more party members.

Nice so far. Like the quality of life changes.

Though it feels like you need to stick with default characters to get the most out of dialogue and shit.

The first game was written by one guy that eventually got overwhelmed by the scope of the game. The sequel has new writers including Chris Avellone after he left Obsidian.

Brilliant lad, you've really got them going. Quality funposting right here.

>a game that came out in 2014 has vital information stored outside of the game
>not even an update to include said information in a "Help" button
Like I said, this isn't acceptable anymore

Try again

Getting mad at me doesn't make it go away or invalidate my posts, you're getting upset because you know I'm right and that you have nothing to prove otherwise.

>Chris Avellone
It's fucking doomed

>has new writers including Chris Avellone
he wrote like 2 characters for dos 2, it doesn't change anything

>Like I said, this isn't acceptable anymore
said who? you? you're just a simple minded nobody
no one cares

Do you not look at your keybinds, like ever?

Holy shit even a ton of diablolikes use alt as the WHAT'S ON THE GROUND button. You're the reason every game nerds a 2 fucking hour unskippable tutorial, because Timmy doesn't know how to make metroid crawl.

Were you not breast fed as a child or were you just born with a brain deficiency?

>>Chris Avellone
>It's fucking doomed
you're not even trying at this point, 1/10

>said who?
Everyone besides larian studios and you people

Well I'm sorry, I'm used to games being well thought out

He took part in writing New Vegas

Your anger means nothing

If everybody else said that I'm sure you can provide the necessary citations from reputable websites.

How's necromancy?
Can you be a skeleton?

>Everyone
show us some everyone genious

>I'm retarded why don't the developers pause the game and put a huge message all over my fucking screen to tell me to press ALT.

I bet you're one of those people who launch a game and never go to options to changes stuff and look at keybindings.

>He took part in writing New Vegas
Yes and? New Vegas had a lot of problems but if you think the writing was one of them you should just get a new hobby because your opinions are shit.

Undead will be included sooner or later with future EA updates.

Can you play co-op in the early access?

Yes.

Sweet. I played a bit of D:OS solo and realised I was probably doing it wrong, but all this stuff in the second game about disagreeing and different personalities giving unique dialogue options has me intrigued.

>citations from reputable websites
Who needs websites when I can list videogames that realized it's not acceptable anymore to leave vital information out of the game?

I'll just go through my steam library
>Insurgency
>Resident Evil
>BioShock
>Titan Quest
>Spelunky
>Grim Dawn
>Legend of Grimrock
>Lego Marvel
>Fallout New Vegas
Do I need to continue?

A simple one-time popup that says "Press X to highlight items" isn't even close to what you described
Neither is having a Help menu
>I bet you're one of those people who launch a game and never go to options to changes stuff and look at keybindings.
I only do that for older games because problems like these were acceptable back then

>calling facts opinions because you don't like them

Did you work as a Valve playtester perchance?

So you want a help menu, but don't want to help yourself by going into the menu they GIVE YOU to not only tell you what everything does but also let you tailor it to your satisfaction.

I'm positive you're only pretending to be retarded at this point.

>WHY DO I HAVE TO DO THINGS WHY CAN'T IT PLAY ITSELF LIKE MY NU-GAMS

>Here's a bunch of games with maybe ten keyboard inputs

games like divinity are really not for people like you
try diablo 3 or some other hack'n'slash game bro
I'm just trying to help you

Your anger does not change the facts

>suggesting some alternatives
>anger
user pls
torchlight games are also fun and easy to pick up and play
same goes for borderlands 2 and dungeon siege 3

Neither does yours

Grab lots of CC, and the bully talent is fantastic

You're attempting to call me a "casual" by suggesting "easier" games because you are upset

It doesn't work both ways, I'm the one proving my side of the argument, you're just calling me names

Not angry, just dumbfounded that you want a help menu but won't use the menu specifically designed to help you more than a "help menu" would.

I think you should just accept my that your critical skills might not be up to snuff for playing these already watered down games. Maybe you've just had your hand held by baby shit that caters to the lowest common denominator for too long and you weren't always this bad.

>You're attempting to call me a "casual"
where?
>by suggesting "easier"
those games are not easier, just more streamlined
torchlight is very hard sometimes user

Quick impressions from playing the Demo... Larian learned nothing from D:OS and will fuck this up, in fact... its already fucking it up.

Camera, same close up with little zoom camera, which was horrible in the first game;
Can only rotate with end and delete keys? *sigh*
Combat speed... goddamnit Larian, one of the biggest single complaints about the first game, principal reason for me quiting... still the same slowly animated drawn out combat;
The character creation screen... The game actually warns the player agaisnt starting a custom character, pointing out how much bestest the premade ones are;
The dialogue system. Who the fuck greenlighted this mess? Fire the idiot. It's uterly jaring to constantly read "Tell him X" "Say to him Y", write like normal people Larian, you have been trying for god knows how many years and still cant do it.

oh so i had to have kickstarted it to get early access?

no

>playing

guys like you always watch the stream, why the fuck you want to buy game you will shit on?

NIgger, get your reddit tier respons out of here.
Atleast stop throwing you bullshit "sigh" everywhere, you're not on some furry rp board.

I'm phone posting, so don't expect a screenshot, but if you had gameplay tips on, it pops up a message about how most interactables are highlighted when you hit alt. It also did that for highlighting characters passively, and logged all of that info in the tutorial part of the codex/quest log

wait so how can i get in?

steam doesnt have a buy option

Tried the "alpha/beta/omegaa" for a few hours and as expected, I am p. disappointed with this "sequel". The game feels just more of the same as D:OS. An elaborate enhanced edition with a new story and a few new tricks in terms of abilities and graphics.

Same graphics more of less, same UI with a few tweaks, same design, setting and the story/writing, too. I suppose I was expecting some big changes and improvements, but overall, got alot of the same, with the same problems and annoyances from the first game.

I'm gon play it abit more, and I do keep myself open to being positively surprised for the full game.

first game was an overrated, slow piece of trash by some yuropoor devs who have a track record for meme games.

why this came out so successful, I will NEVER understand

>meme games
what do you mean by this?

>designed to help you more than a "help menu" would
no, it's designed to let you remind keys, it does not tell you what they do or how they can be used.

>just more streamlined
A term similar to easy
>torchlight is very hard sometimes user
Torchlight is hard if you're playing on higher difficulties

Yet you have no way to prove this

Streamlining is the very definition of casuality.

> An elaborate enhanced edition with a new story and a few new tricks in terms of abilities and graphics.
And nobody within their right mind wants anything more, because then the fucking "innovation creep" sets in, and we end up with games like master of orion 3, or fucking dragon age 2, which was so innovative our limited 21 century minds can´t even comprehend its entire genious and wrongfully think it is a piece of shit game.

it's europe's borderlands with their FUNNY meme jokes

>starts a new game
>doesn't immediately check the keybindings to see where everything is

So just like Fallout 2 and BG2

>meme
they're not memes, please stop talking like a retard

Breast milk is important for nutrient supply and providing vital immunohlobulins such as igG .
There is no known link b/w breast feeding and brain development

Will you fuck off already?

You can rotate the camera with the middle mouse button, it literally tells you this at the start of the game.

Holy shit all these fucking kids with ADD who can't read.

>enhanced edition
even with the enhanced edition, quests still give you no hints to what direction to walk in

Another fucking retard who disabled tutorial tips and complains why the game doesn't tell you anything

why do you know so much about breast feeding what are you a baby

But EE has quest markers last i checked. The cave in cyseal and everything had a marker.

>quests still give you no hints to what direction to walk in
That's for you to figure out
>why doesn't the game play itself for me

>open journal
>use brain
>finish the quest

Congrats you fuck, you can read that I cannot post a picture, as per my establishing post. If you have no desire to trust my statement in the absence of the picture, then you are being purposefully contrarian. I stated the area of the UI it would be in, and the circumstance in which you would have encountered it. I got nothing else for ya kid. Especially if you broke your damn weapon on the door. At that point, I'm inclined to think you're just stupid.

This game is weeding out kids born in the early 2000s who are allergic to reading.
