Divinity: Original Sin Beta Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO THE NEW THREAD]

[Stabbey]

Nobody here but us Screens.

- We froze evil twins with subpar chill spells that do nothing on regular opponents but are actually very effective on fire creatures

Bitter cold, right? Try casting that on an enemy who is Wet.

Anyone up for some multiplayer tonight?

Say about an hour or two from - right now?

Hey, does anyone know how to move the alter inside the church? I revealed the two paintings and hit the button, but apparently I'm suppose to find more switches somewhere...

They will release a patch today to fix the crashing issues...
So I'm waiting for that to continue on.

Did they happen mention anything about the music and sounds, or is it just the crashing (which hasn't happened to me)?

- Fixed crash in action machines
- Fixed crash in MultiEffectHandler

Has anyone had any experience with the Lone Wolf trait? I'm considering taking it and Raistlin to make a true glass cannon mage. Last time I tried it though I didn't seem to be getting any stat bonuses on level-up. Has that changed since?

I think you get an extra ability bonus on level, not a stat bonus. That's what I'm getting, at any rate.

 

[Smashing Axe]

Ah, that's probably it. D&D terminology causes me to associate stat and ability as the same thing.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

You do seem to get more health out of it as well, I'd say it's worth it for a fighter and if you're thinking of not using henchmen.
Has anyone tried that, by the way, not using henchmen?

 

[Lhynn]

Ah, that's probably it. D&D terminology causes me to associate stat and ability as the same thing.

A stat is a stat, an ability is an ability, an attribute is an attribute, you are Smashing Axe.

Finished the beta and it felt good, very good. No more than 10 crashes and 1000 bugs but that is a risk I accepted when staring to beta test this game. I hope they will be able to kill as many bugs as possible. I hope there is room to improve the dialogue here and there. it is good mostly but it can be better. Love the humor in the game. I find myself laughing alone which gets me strange looks from my wife.

It took me a few hours of looking everywhere for a way to continue past Cyseal until I figured out that this is all for now. I need more cure and I need it soon. I would take this buggy beta over 99% of the games I played in the last 10 years (replaying older not included but comparable). This limited beta is way better than Wasteland and Eternity will ever be. I just hope they will not concede on people asking to make it more simple, make it easier, make it papamole. You are making history here Sven, dont sell yourselves short. And solve that repair mechanic. I dont like it. Let me love the items I want to love. I can accept that life aint fair, but this is not exactly reality. Don't make it simple, make it possible for me to love them for some longer time.

Thanks Larian.

This sounds... extremely creepy.

 

[Gicusan]

yes. is creepy bad?

 

[Canus]

Probably not the wisest question to ask of the codex.

 

[SuicideBunny]

ffs fucking arhu attacks me for no reason when talking to him a second time.

He's just easily annoyed, or maybe has his PMS. Not sure if they put monthly schedules in yet.

 

[Outlander]

yes. is creepy bad?

Lemme guess. Bioware fan, right?

 

[Delterius]

yes. is creepy bad?

Welcome to the 'Dex man! Looking forward to a Lplay of yours!

The original version was strangely dismissive considering the nature of this website.

 

[Gicusan]

Of course. I like "bio" stuff. I loved Baldur's Gate, it was the first RPG I played. KOTOR was good. I found Neverwinter bearable. I studied the decline in Dragon Age and Mass Effect but they were not finished.

You are stupid, Outlander. I don't know if you are stupid all the time or it happened but you've just been stupid. I would take a creepy disposition for some Original Sin items or any creepiness in general to avoid having your low, 2 digits, vengeful without reason, IQ. I know, you now would like me to explain why I called you stupid. Guys of your type always have to know why, because they already have their doubts about themselves. But I am not going to waste my time. I do not believe it is curable. Stupidity is like a disease. And it is viral. I already spent too much time on you. I am going to play some Original Sin, maybe I have not contacted too much of your disease.

And yes, Delterius, the original version could have been called dismissive. I apologize. Is Outlander the usual punishment for dismissive, one word posts around the Codex?

 

[Haba]

Yes.

ffs fucking arhu attacks me for no reason when talking to him a second time.

Was he there in both human and cat form? because in co-op last night we ran into a bug like that that killed our game because as soon as my partner said "goodbye" to Arhu-human, Arhu Cat initiated combat and combat kept repeatedly starting twice a second constantly, it was impossible to do anything or hear anything over the sound of the fight noise starting.

 

[SuicideBunny]

he was in catform, i talked to him and bought his stuff, then after finishing dialogue he polymorphs and initiates combat by frying one of my chars. upon encountering it i restarted and just sorta ran to him to see if it would still happen and it does happen in new game too.

I've also met two Arhus (cat and human at the same time) and somehow survived that encounter. Nothing happened, I traded with both of them and left. Once he (in human form) initiated combat because I 'insulted' him by offering less gold than the item was worth.

The repair mechanics is the same as in the first Divinity game - annoying and broken because you can always find or buy other weapon before the current one is broken.
