Amazing game. Simply amazing.

Agree - best RPG I have ever played on PC.

I don't like it that much. There are lots of flaws with the balance of the game and the game design in general. Part of the problem is classless systems make for bland characters in most cases.

Hopefully the content released in the future will address some of these problems.

I think the classless thing is mostly a thing in the beginning. Later on you really need the right attributes, and the high-level skills (lvl 4+) don't leave much room for diversifying. If you don't have both, your combat skills will need much more action points. And secondary skills just don't work without having someone focus in it.

Is this a sequel or reboot?

In any case, completely flew under the radar for me. Got one guy on my Steam friends list who plays it.

There are other Divinity games set in the same world, but this is a stand-alone experience as far as I can tell. You're not losing anything by starting with it.

Completely different.

Looks pretty awesome. Definitely made my Steam wishlist. I "need" to start playing some of these games I already have though. The backlog is getting horrific.

On the plus side, just got my first dual monitor setup, so perhaps some gaming while doing something else, will help me get going on that list.

You can game while you game!  Two different games at once!

Divinity Original Sin is so far the only game i've backed that turned out meeting my expectations, in fact Larian over-delivered. You guys should try it out if you're into CRPG and Turn Base Combat. It is honestly the CRPG we're all been waiting for, i'll be bold and say DOS might just have started the revival of CRPG genre.

I can't wait for Steam Workshop to be integrated and players start cranking out their own mods, gonna have awesome stories to play...

The game is really fun. The combat can be a little unforgiving in the early part if you are underleveled and unfamiliar with the element system like I was, but VERY worth it to soldier through. Not unlike the crpgs during the Black Isle days that this game successfully emulates and improves upon. 

I would say ignore the fact that this is a Divinity title. I haven't played a single Divinity game, but my impression is they are action rpgs? Beyond some characters and lore callbacks, the fact I haven't played those games had no impact whatsoever on my experience.

If you enjoyed the likes of Torment, Baulder's Gate, Icewind Dale, Temple of Elemental Evil in the past, or more recently, XCom and Banner Saga, this is a must buy.  

As for Steam Workshop support, I would be surprised to not see it. 

Ending spoilers:

I kind of wish I had played it in coop from the start. I didn't realize that they'd weave the 2-playable-characters scenario so much into the story and ending. That said... for about the last 5 minutes of the game, apparently my characters are in love with each other? That really came out of nowhere, surely it didn't fit at all. The only hint of the "souls" being in love with each other was some hand-holding in the early cinematics. I would much rather they had done a "and they fought evil for the rest of their days" ending, instead of "and they lived happily ever after" ending.

Also, the last fight was kind of lame. There were a lot of fights to even get there, and while the void dragon was cool and had some breath attacks, it didn't push the envelope. This is supposed to be the devourer of all reality, and the best he can do is a 600 damage breath attack and some shadow minions? No... there are so many interesting ways to do boss battles in RPG games, and that one really was disappointing. At least if it had focused the Astarte harder, or something.... no, just disappointed. And it wasn't even hard. I had to savescumm pretty hard on some fights, but this one I made it on the first go. Bleh.

This is one of the few games I helped Kickstart, and I'm very glad I did.  This has been one of the best CRPGs I've played since Ultima VII.

Waiting for the price to drop. If it beats out PS:T in quality, I'll set up an altar to Larian Studios and sacrifice small animals to them nightly.
