Doomy77 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I know the game’s been out for a while, but I wanted to record the fact @Borke and I managed to play through the entire thing in co-op. It took several months of daily two-hour sessions, but we did it! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 4

Bantha Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Cool, we are on to this also, we are 4 players on playstation4. Pretty close I think to the end but no clue really. Looking forward to Baldurs gate, same producers. Love the music and flawless interaction between players etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 5 10 2 5 3 2 2

El Maldito Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Hi !! Divinity Original Sin II... I love it. I´m waiting for BG3 too. Has anyone played the Pathfinder Kingmaker game?. It seems to look good, does anyone recommend it to me?. Un saludo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 2
Bouffon Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I totally recommend Pathfinder. It lacks much of the feel and character of classic Infinity Engine games (Baldur's Gates, Icewind Dales) but plays very much like them otherwis and tells a compelling enough story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a list of recommended mods that is miles long, but Sword Coast Stratagems is the bare minimum. It makes AI much, much better without making it cheat and makes combat more challenging and tactical. Difficulty levels still work so it is not neccessarily hard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 5 2
Ratamo Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I have long time dream to play DnD and i probably will do it someday. But year or two ago while i was looking any videogames similiar to it i first heard of Divinity Original Sin. Never found myself looking that up tho due i found Pathfinder Kingmaker and invested my time in it. And like in any other RPG i played it, rerolled another class, rerolled another, kept break, rerolled another and so on. I gotta check Divinity up later this year, but im probably gonna forget ot anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 6 2 4 3 2 2 2 6 2

Bouffon Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Multiplayer helps to keep you focused. This is why I am real bitter about Pathfinder not having any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 5 2

It is a great game, especially now a lot of the early bugs have been resolved. There is a 'Turn Based' mod for combat, I cannot recommend this highly enough. The mod works great (and is being used by the developers in the sequel) and adds real tactical element to combat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 3 2
Doomy77 Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 @Borke and I just pledged to play the first game to completion together. We must be masochists, which would also explain why we play so much BB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 4
Bouffon Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 I rather liked the first game more, which puts me into something of a minority. I just enjoy honestly wacky feel of it. Also, Jahan is a very simple concept done well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 5 2

Doomy77 Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 We did our first session last night, @Borke was greatly amused by the talking seashell in the starting area. ”Call me Ishmashell.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 4

Armor types that totally negate certain effects vs. percentage based chances for skills to work is something one can (and has) debate for years. While I am a gambling addict when it comes to games, I prefer the D:OS2 system. Story. Yeah, first one has simpler story and that doesn't neccessarily make it worse either. I'd say first one tells its one better but sequal has better story (because of Fane, if nothing else). This is bit of a moot point as Divinities are not something you play for the story...I hope. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 5 2

We started this due to wanting a long game that would easily lend itself to “episodic” sessions of roughly equal duration which would end each time with something to look forward to next time.

Borke Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I never played the first D:OS beyond a 5 hour start, years back, but after the D:OS2 campaign with @Doomy77, I am really looking forward to this one as well. Cooperative multiplayer is something I enjoy a lot, I've now realized, and it's certainly a nice balance to BB2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 3 3
Bouffon Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Coop RPGs are really nice, but they are a rare breed. There are Infinity Engine games (to bring them back to conversation again): BG trilogy and both IWDs. Aside from those I can only think of Torchlight and various small studio and MMO games. Perhaps System Shock 2, but that assumes moon is right and multiplayer works long enough to finish the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 5 2
crimsonsun Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Well done guys, taking on game 1 as well... Fantastic effort, I've got hopes of completing BG3 I did 1 & 2, plus expansions for both, Icewind dale 1 & 2 and Never winter nights so I've a good record for DnD titles that having decades of experience playing from 2nd - 5 edition, helps me to actually finish them. Why the hell do I have a limit to the amount of likes I can give in a day? I don't come on these forums regularly but when I do I have plenty of catching up to do so a positive react limit is somewhat frustrating. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borke Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 And the first Divinity: Original Sin has also been conquered by the heroes known as Doomy and Borke! Delightful as the second one, more tongue in cheek in places. Definitely worth the effort. One of the next games on the list may well be Wasteland 3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 3 3
