What went so wrong?

What went so wrong?

Nothing :^)

you being able to make a thread

necrofire was a mistake

Just a weaker version of the first game, pillars of eternity is better than both games.

Same thing as every other Larian game. The awful writing.

Y-y-you just hate fun. That's funny! It makes me pee in my pants, it's so funny!

In every shitpost thread I see the same image, it's like the only thing you could cherrypicked to call the writing bad.

Have another one, then

>year 2017 of your lord and saviour

What a sad state of affairs.

>What went so wrong

They opened Divinity: Original Sin 1, hit Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, Opened a new file called Divinity: Original Sin 2, hit Ctrl+V and sent it for shipping.

Way WAY too much recycled content DIRECTLY lifted from the first game, It's completely mystifying how they thought that would be okay. I can understand how things would be similar and obviously the mechanics were going to be the same but It is basically just the first game with a different name, totally puzzling how they could do this.

They've got characters from the first game, doing and saying the same things they did and said in the first game. In some places you legit can't tell which game you're playing.

>reposting the same shit in every single thread
How do you not tire of this?

This

How do you not tire of Divinity's shit writing? Fucking brainlets, I swear.

It's still cherrypicking and proves nothing.

>being heralded as the second coming of christ by everyone who plays it
>the solitary Obsidian fanboy loses his shit and works his ass off to trash talk a game he refuses to play because he knows he'll fall in love with it

Thats when you know a game is damn good.

>Stop pointing out this game has bad writing, you're cherry-picking

IMHO it’s biggest weakness is how it does next to nothing to teach players about its mechanics. Won’t be surprised if many players try the game on classic mode, lose 70% of their fights and never play the game again.

Non multiplayer games need not apply

That's not even "writing". You're pointing out social interactions between two characters who need to remain in-character. You're not even smart enough to understand the most basic of literary functions and here you are critiquing the writing of anyone else.

Moreover, the game is what... A hundred hours long? And in the entire breadth of it, you could only find two screen shots to spam as your examples of "shitty writing".

This game is tiring. Itemization is lackluster. The scaling of the combat feels off. There are way too many trash encounters. Everything has to be on fire and full of dangerous environments all the time but it doesn't matter because everyone, including you, has magic armor so it's all useless and just serves to distract you.

I'm bored. This game bores me. My weapon just vanished out of thin air and I no longer have it. I'm not too worried. I'll find a new better one within the next half hour, this game throws items at you like shit at a wall.

Outside the plethora of various bugs: combat balancing.

This. If you didn't play the beta or just can't min-max your group, you're basically fucked even on normal difficulty.

It really amazes me how Sup Forums put so much effort into saying this game is bad (cherry picking one questionable line of dialog, finding the smallest flaws, etc).

Apparently they can't stand a 2017 pc game is actually really good, while doing well on sales and reviews and being popular overall. Also it's much better than Pillars of Eternity.

>94 on meta.

Not much.

But I do think tactition mode could be more balanced. I had to download a mod to reduce the armor levels. Inventory management could also be improved a bit.

Ooooh 100 hours of shit writing makes it better

Shut the fuck up

This is false. Fuck off obsidishit drone

It's GOTY material honestly

Have another example of Larian's shit writing

Just wait until more reviews come in. The number will go down.

>keeps shitposting without arguments
This is getting actually sad.

>Also it's much better than Pillars of Eternity.
Wrong.

>No custom party member creation without some retarded LAN loophole
>Boring YOU ARE THE CHOSEN ONE!!! plot

dungeon master mode should be more powerful.
it should have been basically the editor.
at a bare minimum it should have the ability to script things through a scripting language or use flowchart based systems to make logic for tying in dice rolls to actual choices in the game, like dialogs or weather a trap triggers or not.
i know custom campaigns, made with the editor, can be as good as the campaign but DM mode is pretty much the only gripe i have with the game.
other than the DM the game is fan fucking tastic and i cant wait for all the custom campaigns to come out.
also making the gog cross compatible with the steam verison was a great move.

Not bad writing either. Go play the game 10 hours more to see if you find something else.

It has perhaps the most imbalanced combat I have ever seen in a CRPG. It's still a solid 8/10 though.

PSHT
NOTHING PERSONELL

>what is bless
>what is holy rain
>what is the litterally shitzillion other methods of disposing of necrofire

Why, so you can keep pretending there's nothing wrong with this cringe writing? I'm on to your game, Larianigger. You refuse to open your eyes and see the truth.

It is funny, stop hating on things just to fit in.

badterrible writing, visuals, art direction, music, loot system, crafting, lore, humor, companions, voice acting, ui, lack off day/night system, slow combat, dumb ai

What is wrong with it tho?
Her attitude is fitting of her character and the licking mention is a callback to a past interaction between the characters
Kill yourself

>play on hardest mode
>install a mod to make it easier
Why not play on the difficulty you are actually capable of beating in the first place you autistic fuck?

The AI is actually smarter than most RPGs. It directly goes after the squishy unless you spec on the broken smelly trait.

>responding to obvious bait

You refuse to see this game it's actually good, stay mad you contrarian, seeing you cry so much to this is funny.

Some people are just idiots, and might just be that stupid.

>The AI is actually smarter than most RPGs
>Runs out of the way to get attacked by my attack of opportunity and proceeds to walk through fire to burn itself alive
Yeah, nah

I've put 60hrs into this game but everything after the blackpits is just a rushed mess.

Worst part of the game has to be when you are about to ascend and your party ditches you on a dime if you fail a speech check. I pretty much wrote off that playthrough and specced into lone wolf and played the rest of the game solo as a undead 2H necro/war.

Even sided with the covenant because fuck my companions and fuck the gods.

Last fight was tough solo though.

ah, to be 10 years old again.

The awful itemization is straight out of an MMO or Diablo. Trash game.

One of the most fun games Ive played in years, but I am doing 4 player co-op only with my friends.

I appreciate the amount of options and solutions you can have for most quests, as well as the amount of shenanigans we are pulling.

I can see why you wouldn't enjoy the game as much if you had no friends.

Oh wow. It's not at all like you watched a single webm and now feel that you know the entire game.

Here is your (you)

*saves thumbnail*

Except that Diablo 2 had excellent itemization. You don't know what the hell you're talking about.

Your birth.

>Larianiggers getting this defensive
I love it

When you can only find 2 things that you post in every single thread, that is called cherry picking.

>No brawler/monk/fighter class
Here is what went wrong.

Honestly, I don't think anything really went wrong, but I'm bored of this sort of thing. I like that it has a combat system you actually have to think about, but it's not a very interesting game from a role playing perspective, and the setting and premise are so tired I just have a hard time caring. I'm realizing I'd like this game a lot more if it were just a pure tactical combat game.

I'm sure I'll get a lot of flak for this opinion but honestly even Tides of Numenera kept my interest longer than this, because for all its flaws, at least it was trying to do something different.

FUCKING IDIOT

Are you a child?

>bad writing
Oh you're one of those faggots that likes to feel intelligent by posting about the writing in RPGs.

Please use a trip so I can block you.

THIS!

Pillars of Eternity lets you fuck shit up as a Monk. Divinity: Original Sin 1 or 2 don't. That is why Pillars of Eternity is better.

Everything went right, faggot
Goty 2017

>block
hello redd.it

Larianewborns in full force today.

Larian can't write a game worth shit
Inb4
>WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS?!?!?!?!?!?

What did they mean by this?

Man, it's really fortunate for Larian that everyone in the world they designed is either a retarded animal or a retarded human, because all they can seem to write is retarded writing! What an interesting coincidence!

What is a well written game in your opinion?

>there are people on this board who get mad at others having fun

>MFW I'm amused by OS 2's writing

Why do you expect an animal to speak coherently?

>He's acting in character by being retarded
>He's acting in character by being an animal
See:

because I want to keep the smarter AI but don't want to deal with over inflated numbers. Tactition in Dos1 actually added enemies.

>Mona (some dwarf) in fort joy is diseased
>talk to her
>"cough cough im dying"
>fortify her to get rid of her disease
>talk to her again
>"cough cough im dying"

WOOOOW great game

I'm just 3 hours in and so far it's better than the first game. More interesting opening premise, way better character builder, better companions, etc.

>pillars of eternity is better than both games
Fuck that noise, it was so fucking boring. Lack of multiplayer makes it even worse.

>people caring more about writing than gameplay
Why don't you read books instead?

Your mom gave birth to a dumb ass contrarian.

When will the retards at Larian learn how utilize items in RPGs?

>Hey, Swen, we need to give this dog some sort of dialogue but we can't think of anything

Still waiting for you to answer

So this..........is the power.............of pessimistic Sup Forumstards....................................woah!

are you in character as a retard?

What are some neat hidden things in fort joy? I just killed the guys in the forts court, the magisters

It's a fucking RPG, aka you make plot related decisions and design a personality for your character, the writing is 50%+ of the gameplay.

level 13 right now and its very hard to find enemies that are near my level. what the fuck where am i supposed to level up literally explored the whole area.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!!!! NO WONDER THIS GAME GOT A 94 SCORE ON METACRITIC! THIS IS LIKE FUCKING PLANESCAPE TORMENT PART 2!

boring Baldurs Gate type RTS-RPG in 2k17
I just need new Bloodborne, you dips!

*State that you smoke Drudanae every day.*

pet pal is great, you cant expect every animal to have good dialogue. I'm fine with a crab saying chirp chirp because there are rats who send you on quests.
