Also, re the humor in Larian games, it's kind of funny that much of the music is kind of somber (not all of it, but a good chunk)

Well, he is Russian, so...

Most of Original Sin 2's writers are Irish. Larian founded an entire studio in Dublin just to get an (inexpensive) native English-speaking writing team. I think the guy who wrote the first game is the only Belgian on the team.

No quest markers in the quest compass stlye. In cases such as using the elf flesh eating where you learn the location of a buried treasure you'll get a yellow pin appear on your map screen.

So the long necked elf slave is the waifu they're putting front and center? Seems rather disappointing to romance fans, but the alternative is the used up whore so I guess they're overall being pretty trolly with these romance options.

Red Prince seems like he'd be a hit with a lot of women so the thing to do there is to make him unavailable.

So not like Enhanced Edition quest markers?
I don't know I haven't played the EE version. No quest markers just certain locations / things that might be marked on map if the conditions are right. This was the case for EA and based off Jarl Frank's latest piece it still is

The way EE was, it would mark on the map where to go for the quest(s) you had going on. For instance, in D:OS when I had to go find Arhu, there was nothing on the map. In EE, when I had to find Arhu, there was a big'ol decline on the map pointing you the direction to head for.

They NEED YOU to become their next Divinity? What? Did they just spoil the plot? The main plot is you becoming the next divine? Why?

EDIT: Also, I KNEW IT! I was thinking today that Fane's storyline will probably be trying to impersonate Lucius with the mask and get more power. Now I'm 99% certain that's what's going to happen, but I wasn't expecting for the main plot to be like that.

EDIT2: The trailer is super spoilery, I suggest not watching it if you don't want anything like that.

How is that a spoiler at all? It's in the title of the game, it's the basis of the entire franchise.

I feel like I watched a different trailer than everyone else, how does this map out the entire plot? It's a feature hype reel with very very basic plot points.

Uhm, no, it literally tells you what the main plot is. It's not "in the title", no divinity game has ever been about this. It also gives visual spoilers for some of the fights.

Dude it literally says on the main steam description that you "join up to 3 other players - but know that only one of you will have the chance to become a God."

Edit: It seems to me like you wanted to be seen as a guy who was excited and is now disillusioned for whatever reason. Yet you don't seem to know even the basic premise of the game so I honestly wonder if you're not just trolling.

Game of the Decade, 95/100 metacritic score, duh :bounce:

and then the inevitable negative codex review comes in
Nah, Larian is not mainstream enough to get those reviews, it will probably get around 85-90 on Metacritic.

And as for the Codex review, I think it will be at least neutral-positive. Unless Darth Roxor is writing it, that is. :M
