I'm in work! Tempted to go home instead of the pub now.

Yup, it's live!
Will jump in blind once I finish this book I'm reading.

NICE! I would probably be far more excited if I could actually play the game until Sunday, since I'm at work every day up to 11:30 PM.
Which means that every hour of playthrough I will get this week will be at expenses of my healthy sleeping time (and by the way I'm afraid that's exactly what will happen).

Thank you!
Another question for those who played the alpha/beta alot, how useful was the pet pal talent? Did you use it often?
Ok, but what time do you start work in the morning?
It's quite fun. Some of the conversations you have are worth getting the talent for alone imo, and some quests can be solved with the help of an animal in the local vicinity. I'll be taking it early on.

It opens up the game to a lot more optional interactions with animals, but I never got the impression it was actually "needed" to any extent. At least not in the beta.
It's useful, on a first playthrough at least. Rats gives hints and tips generally, plus you'lk get additional minor quests and options within larger quests. It's also frequently funny. Dogs especially are hilarious.
Alright, GAF, I'm considering this game, but I know next to nothing about the Divinity series. I know that it's a turn based isometric RPG, but that's all I know. Is the story any good? Combat satisfying? Interesting characters? Basically, I need you to sell me on Original Sin before the Steam Sale is over, or I probably won't pick this up until the next sale.

1:00 PM, but the morning is filled with:
- me trying really hard to wake up for couple of hours (while doing coffee and so on).
- me going to the near park for my daily hour of running.
So I'm rarely in the mood to play games.
More often I end up playing at night *after* work, but as I said that comes at expenses of my healthy sleep.
There have been dozens of people in this thread try out the early access version and post their impressions -- apart from one sole poster who said the game didn't click with him, every single impression has ranged from positive to outright sopping wet gushing with superlatives.
Looks like there is going to be 2 different streams today. First at 9 am PST with some people from Eurogamer and then after that he'll be playing coop with a mystery guest.
Probably not needed, but I've loved every single animal conversation I've had. I personally wouldn't make party without a character with it.

Interesting, GOG Galaxy launching August (or earlier) mentioned in the latest update. Was that known before?

Nope it's all point & click, wouldn't be playable on a gamepad.

I got a "This is a beta build!" screen on my loads, so I don't think so
You might still be playing the beta, try restarting Steam.
That's probably a good advice to everyone who just updated their game.
I figured guess I'll just have to break out my mouse for my laptop

I did it... I purchased this game. GAF hype wins every single time.
Try sourceop forums for buying keys via PP, just make sure you're using a trader with high reputation and it should be absolutley fine. If you're really stuck I might be able to help out.
I'll be home in a few hours, add me to steam (same username as here, cat for an avatar).

For those with Kickstarter Code problems, from their KS update:
Important note: The Kickstarter backer ID database on Steam is currently missing a number of entries and is being updated. In a couple of hours it should recognise the backer ID of everybody. Small team working through a large task list with lots of pressure in an online environment with an internet connection that decided today was a good day to go on strike - bare with us, it'll all be done soon enough

Why does he wear the mask!?
Will check forums. Have added you as well mate, thank you.
I can't lie this game has been my most wished for PC game in awhile I remember watching a video on Joystiq where there was a puddle of water on the battlefield and they either froze it or electrified it and I was sold!
Just came home, gonna eat quickly and start playing right away. I have tomorrow off. What a surprise to see it released already. <3 Even KS backer won't need to reenter any key or download anything again if they put Steam as the platform for their final version of the game. Awesome!
Only surprising if you didn't play Dragon Commander

Its in options, unlock rotation.
Actually, isnt there an option in the menu that enables that? At least thats what I discovered yesterday. But it clearly states that its a setting for custom campaigns, since the main campaign was developed with a fixed camera in mind.
