While Valve is selective about what it advertises in the "carousel", it's not a paid-for slot. Divinity is there right now.
Huh, so it's only the rare background banners, usually for AAA games, that are paid?

I don't have a "coop buddy", so I was planning to have, sometimes when I feel like it, someone joining.
Anyway, do I need a free hand (or maybe both?) to cast spells?
They're as deep as they need to be for the style of rpg it is, it's a cinematic rpg not a sandbox. I think it's perfectly fine, and while each relationship isn't deep, managing your entire squad can feel quite complex and toward the end of each of my playthorughs I always felt like my squad had developed a bond unique to my playthrough. Same goes for Dragon Age: Origins.
Cheesy as hell, yes, but that's a huge part of the charm for me. I love cheesy space opera.

My mage casts spells just fine while holding a staff, so I don't think that will ever be an issue.
The Star Wars romances always seemed interesting to me, simply because of the Jedi code, the potential to fall to the Dark Side, and stuff like that.

What?? Auuggh. They should really warn you about that when you're creating your characters.
I guess I need to start over....

Playing this game at 4K really makes it shine. Framerate isn't quite a stable 60, but this is the kind of game I'm not 100% bothered. Will probably tweak a few things to get it stable though.

Is the soundtrack from the DLC available now? 'Cuz I can't find it anywhere.
Huh, can someone explain something? Sorry if this is noobish.
My male character has a crafting of 1. I found some arrow shafts and "static" arrowheads. I was able to craft one "stunning arrow" by combining them but for any more it says "not enough crafting". But I just made one?

there are other people you can hire, they apparently just don't have stories. I would just make what you want and save them for your 2nd play through to make it interesting
I wouldn't worry about it much. Just choose classes that are what you want to roleplay. Want to sneak around and steal stuff? Rogue. Want to run around and smash things? Knight.
The fully voiced character banter is amazing.
Adds so much. I love that there's still plenty of text to read, there's a certain charm to text based rpgs that I've missed, but the voice work is very good.
Really impressed so far.
This may get annoying though.

Roll a ranged rogue and a melee rogue, and then steal everything.
You'll have too much gold to worry about anything ever again.
I speak from experience, having not chosen a rogue-type. I've been trapped in the city for the past three hours salivating at the thought of all the munnay I could have by now if I had only gone down a different path.
I've started the Beta like 8 times and I still don't know what classes I want to start with.

The end of work can't come soon enough. I'm glad I'm on the last chapter of corpse party: book of shadows, so I can put all my gaming time on this soon.
I wanted to make a sword+shield caster.
so in co-op, does only one person save/experience the game, or is the game saved for both players?
pretty sure this just means you own the license for the DLC, but the actual content isn't there yet (hasn't been released)
Anyone else having issues with the DLC? I bought it, and I own it --
But Steam says no - and it's also nowhere to be found ingame.

Feel the same, about to restart again now that I know one of the companions is a Knight.

I'm having an issue sort of like this.. I picked up the "Divinity Original Sin Digital Collectors edition" which comes with the dlc it says but it's not showing up as something I own? not sure what's going on with this..
I thought that too, but apparently some ppl. here already have it..

The game is really beautiful looking, and i'm loving the soundtrack and enjoyed the small amount of combat that i did. A weird problem i'm having though is i keep running into issues with the movement. It may just be because i've not played a CRPG in a very long time, but running around the first big city was a bit of a struggle for me. I'd hold down left click and just aim in a direction, but my character would randomly stop or just walk instead of run. I may restart the game since i made one of my characters a knight, I didn't realize one of the companions is a knight.

What time is it?
There is a bug for certain editions of the game on Steam:
http://www.larian.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=500122
edit: fixed the link
so how is it really co-op? I mean not criticizing at all. Just trying to wrap my head around it. I mean so if both players wanted to experience the whole thing they'd only be able to play on the one player's save? So the one player could move ahead in the game but the "joined" player could never play unless the host wanted to? Kind of confused.

I bought the CE, gifting the extra copy to a friend, and he ended up getting the older Divinity games and I'm guessing the DLC, because it doesn't say I own the license anywhere. Didn't expect it to work that way but oh well. Great game so far, regardless.

Hm. Weird, I don't have it listed there either - but it's definitely in game. My character is wearing Zandalor's trunks right now.
But the soundtrack isn't present anywhere...
Something is amiss.
Edit: It's on Steam's end. When you try to go to the DLC tab for DOS, it says there's no DLC available for the game. At all.
Really? Damnit. Now I really have to restart.
What classes did you go with in the end?

It stuttered and paused a few times for me, as well.
I don't know what caused that slowdown, I just assumed it was something on my end.
Well, the entire point of co-op is to play together, so I don't really see what the problem is.
It's loading the level in the background and killing video performance as a side effect.
Larian will be patching it to stop the background loading.
Wayfarer and battlemage.
That's what I think and experienced so far.
If the host want to continue the story without waiting for you he can.
Your character wil just be his automacly second companion like in the solo mode.
Sorry for my bad english.
Seeing I can't seem to alter the companions in the editor myself, I'm gonna try to make either the female or male companion a archer with rogue talents. So again, WHO HAS THE BETTER STORY?

I went with Wizard and ....shadow something.
Yep, I noticed that which is why I was pretty sure it would be fine. Wasn't sure if there was some incentive to build up the library. Offloading some worthless books to these guards, then! (yes, I am still very early)

The entire contents of the book is in your "L" button recipe menu, so I can't imagine why you would need to hold onto them.
I went with a slightly modified Knight and Witch. Knight will be a little tankier, with no leadership stuff, and the Witch will supplement his combat abilities through her spells. (Once I hit a phys-immune enemy, I'm boned.)
