Where did you get this from?

Oh, that's from the general RP survey they did?

I'd agree in general that co-op isn't important, but for D:OS2 I would consider it critical.

Also, for whatever reason I'm feeling nervous about the undead race thingy. Almost certain it's not coming.

Undead isn't race.

Considering that with the undead origin character you also choose a particular race with it, "undead race" works just fine.

 

[Luckmann]

"Race" in RPG:s is pretty far from race either way. It's a mechanics term, and for all intents and purposes, undeads are a race in Divinity: Original Sin 2.

Swen said it's already done and it will ship when the game releases.

That doesn't to it from potentially being cut.

You could say the same about any part of the game. The fact is that if it's done, and he's confirmed that they plan to put it in, then there's no reason to believe that it won't be in. It's possible of course, but why cry over milk that hasn't even been spilt yet?

Swen on Twitch stream:

Swen says that 130 people are working on D:OS 2.

No new information from the stream, just a tiny glimpse of Act 2.

 

[LESS T_T]

Once again it proved that Twitch show is terrible for showing a game like this.

This has interesting implications about what level of profit they're expecting.

Between the Russians and that sweet QC subsidy it might not be as significant a number as that might otherwise be.

 

[Trodat]

Well, he said that DOS:2 is what BG:2 was to BG:1...

 

[Infinitron]

Cute.

 

[Cnaiur]

I don't like co-op.

 

[Fry]

No one could have blamed Swen if he bashed that guy over the head with his keyboard.

I find it weird that you can be an asshole in a game where the story moves the game forward. I mean if I would be playing with a couple of friends and one of the keep doing stupid things he would get kicked eventually. Not sure I see the future in this kind of co-op. Maybe for some light hearted shit and giggles.

I mean, have you ever played tabletop games?

Players are assholes and undermine each other constantly, screwing each other over in the most horrible ways.

In the Curse of Strhad campaign that was released for the 5e, our party was in Strahd's Castle, at the end of the campaign. Strahd made an offer to give whichever one of us betrayed the rest of the party great power in Ravenloft. We got into the final battle in Strahd's tomb and then our necromantic wizard backstabbed me (the cleric) with Finger of Death, killing me outright and giving Strahd the opening he needed to destroy the entire party. This was after almost five months and 20-30 role playing sessions of working together

 

[Alienman]

I have, but not in that way. So you think those kind of things would translate well over to Divinity? Have a hard time seeing it if it's anything like the first game.

 

[LESS T_T]

Cute.

Is that their reaction to the survey results?

Also from comments:

I played a tabletop game of D&D a few years ago and I played with the plan and giving suggestion to the rest of my party that the people with the melee classes should have been the ones risking themselves so that I (cleric) could stay out of harms way and heal them, because it would be the most pragmatic choice for our given roles to benefit the group, and of course they all turned on me and fucked me over because I was being the logical one and none of them had a single ounce of knowledge of D&D systems.

Suffice to say I learned my lesson, people are shit, so I'm sticking with ToEE.

You were *actually* surprised by this? You really suck at PnP....

I wasn't surprised (the player in question had a history of treachery in other games) but there wasn't a whole lot I could do about it. Two members of our team had bit the dust already, 4 were left, extremely limited resting in a long dungeon, so if we didn't work together we weren't going to win the campaign.

I have, but not in that way. So you think those kind of things would translate well over to Divinity? Have a hard time seeing it if it's anything like the first game.

I dunno about the main campaign, but I saw them adapt a D&D module in stream once that made the system look pretty promising. I only follow updates in a cursory way though.
