>..m-maybe if I shitpost some more, people will stop liking it!

>even with its many flaws, it's still so good that those flaws can be ignored to the point where the game gets a perfect score

>implying anything can be perfect

10/10 isn't meant to represent perfection. If it did no game would get 10 as perfection is either subjective, or if it objectively exists we cannot define it.

10/10 just means "really great".

WHY DO ALL THESE THREADS USE AN IMAGE FROM A MOD

>1 was better and got a worse score

Stop giving DOS2 good scores.

Nice bait. You're sure to trick a few teens into thinking you're right, and to trick a few others into biting. The bait that keeps on baiting.

But what if I like both games?

>..m-maybe if these reviewers give it the maximum score, people will stop disliking it!
This game is still shit, my dude. Terrible writing (pic related), cringe reddit humor. Combat gets boring a fourth into the game because it's slow as shit. Can't wait for Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire to blow this shit the fuck out in terms of quality.

It's not bait, in criticism the maximum score doesn't mean perfection. When Robert Ebert gave the maximum number of stars it didn't meant the movie was perfect.

It's a damn good game.

Also,I doubt many teenagers post on Sup Forums, 10 years ago this was the place for free porn and edginess, now they have tubesites, liveleak, worldstar etc

Stop.

welcome to PC my friend

Never said I disagreed with the score, you fucks.

On the chance you're a teen, I'll explain. Something can be scored "perfect" if it's so close to perfection that the only flaws which can be pointed out are extremely, extremely minor flaws.
TLoU and BoTW do not meet that criteria.

No

Game is good.

There is a reason why there is only a single dead thread on Sup Forums about it. Best top down RPG of the last 15 years for me.

>Assmad POE fags shitting up every DivOS2 thread

It's like you can't have possibly backed/funded/played/enjoyed both games or something.

These aren't fucking mutually exclusive. What the fuck is wrong with you people?

never, ever trust critic review scores, especially not after shit like this
user review consensus is the only thing to look at, fuck these so-called journalists, they're merely the marketing arm of an entertainment medium, no better than tabloids

It's very obviously falseflagging and trolling, mate.

are you implying Sup Forums hasnt been sucking this game's dick since it was announced ?

I'd like to see some rebalancing, but a mod will probably end up doing it before the devs
>Warfare better for a duel wielding Rogue than Duel-Wield
>Initiative does jack shit except for the first turn of combat
>Wits is worthless
Old CRPGs had a problem with dump/useless stats for classes too but this game already has fewer attributes to dump points into

Boop.

eurocuck detected

>Gamespot
>Trusting game reviewers on anything
Game is fun, but all the hype over it is so absurd. Especially with so many flaws, some that can be fixed and some that won't because they are developer design decisions.

>Complaining that mods broke your save

>giving a shit about reviews

Can you customize / create all four party members, or are there only prefab characters you have to choose from?

You can pick an origin character and still change their appearances, attributes, and skills. Other origins can be picked up and assigned any class you want, which you can then change later on in the game.

So the only other party members you get are those six origins characters? You can't create your own?

You can make a custom non-origin character of any race, living or undead, aside from the origin characters.

You can all have custom characters, but you'd need 3 other people to do it. There's also mercs you can get later but I don't know how customizable those are

Haven't played any of the Divinity games, but I heard DOS2 had a game master mode and a toolkit.

Would it quench my thirst for a successor to Neverwinter Nights?

wait for further documentation by actual modders when it comes to the toolkit, because the first modding engine was a nigger to work on

>"Something can be given a perfect score even if it's not actually perfect"
This is what you're saying.

>"A perfect score isn't actually a perfect game in criticism"
This is what the person against whom you are arguing is saying.

I'm confused at what you're trying to accomplish.

>this absolute asspain

boop

If you make a LAN match you can customize all 4, from what I've heard. Since the game has local splitscreen I assume you create all 4, then relaunch and you can play solo with your 4 created characters.

For instance if I launch my online co-op with my friends, I have to assign their characters to them. So if you do a LAN you can just not assign and control them all yourself

Really makes you think...

agreed, game journalists are scum. it didnt have toe be this way

You can get around needing other people to make 4 custom characters:

>Open 4 instances of DivOS2
>Join the same LAN multiplayer game during char creation
>Make each character and start game
>Transfer control of the 3 other characters to the main
>Kick the other 3 out and close their DivOS2 instances
>Save game

Only necessary as a one-time workaround. From then on your main game save has all 4 party members controlled by the one game. This is how I did it, might be a less janky method.

>mfw 4 Undead Summoners

Who the fuck cares what Gamespot thinks?
Now stop talking about reviews and give me a good idea for a build for when I inevitably get bored by Warfare/Necro.
Also finesse or strength for 2h? The range on spears is fucking nice, but it feels like I'm going to find much more axes/swords/hammers than I will spears.

spear takes after finesse
it costs AP but I switch to it if something gets close to my ranger

Without friends to play it with, it loses all the added value.
Besides, my PC can't even run the first Divinity at better settings.

>Dragon battles are a blast

How many do you think he had when he wrote that? My guess is 3 tops.

I don't understand this meme. Have you never earned 10/10 on a test even though you had one of the questions wrong because you earned bonus points on another question?

Just finished this game last night in 4-man co-op and started a second playthrough singleplayer

It's probably my GOTY

I like the setting so much that after I'm done with it I'm gonna get around to beating OS1 and playing Dragon Knight, and then if I still want more Ill either replay Divine Divinity, try to get into Dragon Commander, or see if Beyond Divinity is really as bad as they say

It's okay
really
but that's it
if my time wasn't worthless I wouldn't play it

No one shitposted it here. I ´d say it was one of the most expected games this year, if not the most.

>finished the game

Now what? Will there be an expansion involving Malady?

acquire monies and assemble a new PC

Skyrim is shit. The only people who think it is any good at all are people who have never played a well made RPG.

play Divine Divinity before everything else
helps if you played Diablo before, because they borrowed the fundamentals from that

I know. I'm just wondering how often I'll come across spears compared to other 2h weapons.
I don't want to go balls deep into finesse and keep finding insane 2h axes you know.

I already played it before OS1 even came out, really liked it

How the fuck is it that this game's plot and writing is less interesting than Dragon Age: Origins?

spears > axes
make a dragoon build

>4 undead summoners
Jesus Christ, how horrifying

I've noticed that spear range is outside of touch spell range, so it may not be worth if you consider using those as well.

>but it feels like I'm going to find much more axes/swords/hammers than I will spears.
Expect there to always be less spears than strength weapons since they are the only 2 h melee finesse weapons.

I really want to play it but I don't want to play it solo and my only friend who palys vidya probably won't be interested so fuck me I guess.

Spears are indeed rare.
You can try sneak attack/crossbow build with a few point on polymorf, both for flying and decent crowd control if they get close. Sneak+High huntsman+any other buffs you stack on can mean a one hit kill.
It's a gimmick build with Guerilla, but it's fun for me

>DA:O
>interesting aside from making demon baby
>DA:O
>the game that had a microtransaction NPC merchant
>DA:O
>the entire dwarf area, as written by jennifer hamburger hepler
yeah, no

What's the point of spears, anyway? Do they at least offer a range advantage or something?

What are the other 10/10 games?

Don't forget the fucking fade which stopped me ever replaying that shit.

I know you can mod it out but I couldn't be arsed because the rest of the game wasn't that good either.

spears are weird in this game that they're not tied to strength, but they do offer more "range"

They do. It's 1.5m for other weapons vs. 2.5m for spears, which doesn't sound crazy but it's a huge deal.

Chrono Cross. Just as laughable as this one.

the entire Fade concept would have been better as a spinoff dungeon crawler where you creep about making deals with demons and kicking their shit in

this

even fucking elex has better writing

>*teleports behind you*
>*puts blade to your throat*
>*purrs into your ear*
give... me... a... good... review....... or.......... else ;)

I literally try to play a FF-style Dragoon in every other RPG that will let me. Rarely works out.

I fucking hate modern FF, but fuck me I love Dragoons, dragon armored knights jumping around and impaling fools left and right.

Well deserved to be honest.
It's the best game I've played in over a decade

>He didn't make a backup of his saved games

You only have yourself to blame

wow so this is the power of 10/10 writing

reminder that you can fuck that semen sucking succubus with all your bones might

just grab all self-teleporting abilities in every school aside from the one that requires daggers

Give me a 10/10, kiddo, or you're tasting the needle.

YESSSSSS QUEEN SLAAAAAY

Someone post the boop nose pic, my shitter obsidian friend is mad that larian is superior in every way

...

...

I can roleplay as Skeletor perfectly.

This game is a bless.

I'm really trying to get into it, I played for like an hour and a half last night as an Ifan origin with a Wizard preset.

So far I've ran into the Red Prince and the elf girl. I let the elf slaughter the dreamer after the prince was done with him, since apparently we have to find another dreamer who's better at hitting the pipe anyway. He remarked for half a second but never cared after that.

Anyway, it said I'd run into that second Dreamer while trying to find Arymo or whatever, but I found him and just murdered Griff's gang to get him out and he was like "ok, here you go bud, thanks for saving me, here's how you get out." Should I re-load and go find the citrus to run into the second Dreamer and leave Griff alive?

Combat's fun at least, I like combo'ing things.

>hahaha boop nose is so funny. see? gamespot agrees with me!!!!! its da best game ever *holds spork* le skeleton of doom!!!!!!! lick the lizards butthole xD

honest question: haven't seen shit on Elex but it looks kinda interesting, do you think it's gonna be shit mate?

Please don't make fun of Divinity fans, they are mentally challenged. It shows a lack of class.

*boops your butthurt*

Based Obsidialphas making fun of Divinidiots

Eder I love you and all but god damn, I'm having a much better time on Divinity OS2 than with Pillars, at least gameplay wise. Just beaten a fucking oil blob gank on a refinery and let me tell you, the battle was fucking glorious, everything ended up on fire.

I really hope Obsidian takes ideas from this game and I get a better time on Deadfire.

Nice try faggot, also, makoto is shit

Larianiggers btfo

>Skeletor
post build

Don't make fun of us based Lariaryans. Come here, kiddo.

>citrus
you didn't search the dead dreamer's body? it was drugs hidden inside the hollow oranges man, the dreamer was using stolen dope to dream

whats the max level?
I thought 20, but I still have experience bar and everything

and then she got brutally murdered

>R-REVIEWS DON'T COUNT!! CASUAL GAME JOURNALISTS
>OS2 GOT A PERFECT SCORE FROM GAMESPOT!!!!
Pick one
