Support NeoGAF

[HelloNewman]

Unfortunately not... Three is all we get.

Darn, that's okay I'll just wear a helmet since I think they look pretty cool in this.

 

[Jag]

Is a Ranger/Rogue viable in a single character?

Do you think the party needs a dedicated tank-y type damage soaker?

I really want to have all my characters to try out most, if not all the skills.

Also, found this starting guide for some reading while stuck at work:

The gameplay options allow you to choose either Xbox One or PS4 controller.

Pretty excited to check out the game! I must have played through the Early Access content at least six times, with different friends.

 

[Nete]

Larian should made Pet Pal as a passive talent for everybody.

I mean, it's impossible to not pick it up on a custom char

 

[Aja]

Ah. Life. Took today and tomorrow of for this game and what happens? My Isp has a problem with providing internet. They say it will be fixed saturday afternoon!!!! Damn damn and damn. And this has never happened before.

So pissed and sad.....

 

[LordGorchnik]

I wonder if I could create a self-healing rogue like character in the game. Someone who can pick locks but use something like first aid or basic healing spells to patch himself up.

 

[Hektor]

Do i miss out on a lot if i don't play an origin character?

 

[Jay Shadow]

What are the origins classes when you meet them out in the wild?

Whatever you want them to be. They do have a default, but when you recruit them you have a conversation about what class you want them to be and it specs them accordingly.

You easly can but not sure if it's effective way to play rogue

 

[Golden_Pigeon]

I don't think so since you will experience their specific questline as companions

 

[Shaundakahl]

If you play as an origin character, you won't be able to hunt them down and eliminate them one by one..

There can be only one.

 

[J4g3r]

Fane's Time Warp seems way to good not to play as him, but the whole only being able to heal from poison sounds like a huge downer to me.

 

[LordGorchnik]

So is the game meant to be played solo? Or are you supposed to let them join and then off them later?

This game sounds interesting.

Oh man. If I was you I would bring it to a friends house to download. I have to wait till I'm off work at 330pm and I'm already freaking out lol.

 

[Sarcasm]

So how has stealing changed? I ask because I was sneaking and stole something. The person kept walking around then says something about theft.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Is it better to play an origin character or create your own? Or doesn't matter in the long run?

 

[Hektor]

So i'll meet them ingame if i don't pick them? That's cool.

Thanks for the answers!

Yeah now you get caught more easily. Basically if you steal something immediately leave the area then go back. If you stay around they'll suspect you.

 

[CrichtonKicks]

Dammit, Steam didn't auto-update. Update was in the queue but the download had to be manually started for some reason. Was hoping to get a little bit of time in while home for lunch but that's not going to happen now.

 

[rtcn63]

How improved is the combat from DOS1 (pre-enhanced)? I played 3/4ths of the way, but I really, really did not like how some of the classes were balanced. (As in, the ones I chose were almost entirely worthless late-game)

 

[Sinh_Magnus]

Props to voice acting so far.

 

[Shaundakahl]

I think it is meant to played with the origin characters, but is respectful of your wishes if you don't. I played the Early Access with friends and we only kept those origin cats around a couple games, otherwise we'd off 'em. If you played solo, it would be pretty tough.

If you have a stolen item in your inventory, someone will search you and the gig is up. I found it safest to avoid stealing all together, or promptly place your ill-gotten goods in a container. Otherwise, they always find you and then everyone wigs out and before you know it, it is time to reload. Again.

I imagine poision potions won't be that hard to make or find/buy and there will be an item ingame that allows you convert healing potions into poison.

 

[Sou Da]

so anyone wanna get a GAF game going?

 

[StrikeFirst117]

Downloading at 20MB's so damn close.

 

[Golden_Pigeon]

I'm now waiting like a lazy bastard that someone make a GAF Discord channel.

 

[Sinh_Magnus]

Controller support is great. I never played the original or the EA with a controller and so far is surprising how good it is.

 

[StereoVsn]

Oh shit D:OS2 knocked PUBG out of top seller

http://store.steampowered.com/

Now, that's an achievement. Good for Larian! Can't wait to play this once I get back home and update my EA version.

Edit: I think I am going to cheat and get that point for Pet Talker ability.

 

[danthefan]

*You are immediately paralyzed by the character creator*

This has actually become a real problem for me. To the point I give up and don't play the game, for example Wasteland 2, noped straight out of PoE.

 

[Sinatar]

Looks like the localized versions have been delayed a week so the review bombs are starting to hit steam.

 

[Sou Da]

This character creator is a quite a bit less "challenging" than PoE's tbh.

 

[Hektor]

Is being an undead (Taking DMG on regular heals) and Necromant healing magic like the "Blood Sucker" Skill compatible?

 

[[TW]Stone]

Do i miss out on a lot if i don't play an origin character?

I saw a Larian DEV post somewhere that you should goose an origin to get the most out of the game...

Reading through the linked starter guide above, it suggests big steps have been taken to balance classes. The magical armour and physical armour alone is going to change my approach as spamming big aoe won't be as useful immediately out the gates.

I didn't use melee last game but it looks like it'll be essential as part of a balanced party this time round

Yes. You need to use poison or necromancer skills to heal.

 

[Unai]

I've played for 40 minutes during lunch time. Couldn't get out of the character creator and now I have to go back to work. This weekend is going to be amazing.

Yeah, I'd say you will want both magical and phyiscal damage. Some enemies have a lot of one and little of another, which can be extremely troublesome depending on your strategies. It's bonus HP essentially, and being armoured up protects them from status effects.

Not a fan of the voiced narrator.

Melee was pretty horrible in the DOS1 class I chose. Abilities had absurdly long cooldown times in addition to low accuracy percentages even while buffed. Every late-game fight felt like a boss, and not in a good way.

 

[Stevey]

Damn, thought this was out tomorrow for some reason.

It's a little different than that. If you steal something then the area you stole from is considered a crime scene so anyone in that area becomes suspicious. You can just move the item to another party member if you need to go back through the area and there are people there.

 

[Sarcasm]

Screw these prude slave driving lizards man. Talking all down on me and stuff. They will be dead when I get the chance.

Yea..same. Everything else is great.

 

[Lren]

Really like the controller support so far. Also playing as an undead is funny as hell.

Anyone starting with tactician mode?

 

[Golden_Pigeon]

Anyone starting with tactician mode?

Im reserving the tactician for my second undead run

 

[Doc_Drop]

Anyone starting with tactician mode?

I love what it does but I'm not equipped for it, too gruelling for me. Maybe 2nd (full) playthrough

 

[Manatox]

I only played Divinity 1 when it first launched.

How hard is tactician mode compared to the normal(?) version of the first game?

I'm up to the challange as long it's not too frusturating.
