True story:
I was really struggling over paying $13 for this on the Steam sale. I looked up some videos, watched 4-5 of them and after some internal back 'n forth I decided it might be worth the price. I went back into Steam and saw the price was actually $31 on sale.
I didn't buy it, lol.

I'm so glad this snuck up on me, I didn't even know it existed until the steam sale. I picked it up thinking I'll play it later, maybe when it's out of early access, finish some other games first, then found out it released today as a full version?! AWESOME.
Played it for about 2 hours so far, got almost nowhere and loving it. Don't think I've gotten into reading in an RPG so much since Neverwinter Nights.

Played about a hour and half of the game so far (haven't even got to the first hub yet). But my god the game is incredible, the interface, combat and role-playing all feels incredibly right.
My two characters (both player-controlled) are already starting to develop their own distinctive personalities with my female rogue/wizard hybrid leaning towards the alignment of chaotic neutral with a bit of a evil streak within, while my male cleric being more of a lawful do-gooder.
Always amusing to see them clash!

Could use some help!
So i dug up the grave and learned that Jake's burial was a sham. I can't figure out where to go now. Also, where in the city do i find the mage companion? I found the knight lady.
Quick question: is blacksmith working or am I doing something wrong? I'm using a sword on a whestone, the pop-up menu appears saying what will result from it (a sword with a slightly different name and stats), but in the end nothing happens.
My character is getting tired of grinding the sword in the stone to no result : (

You need access to the crime scene first and then you'll see

Well, I was looking at Steam sales, so $31 could buy like, 50 games. I'll buy it when it's cheap as dirt. That's how I buy my PC games.
Does this game support multi monitor displays? I couldn't find an offical answer anywhere.
I am a quality over quantity guy myself.

Fighter for my main. I figure Fighter is the most laser-focused class at start, therefore allowing me a little leeway to throw some points into Personality.
And am I crazy for wanting to play through this game without stealing? I happen to think that Source Hunters still stand for honor and virtue, and would never lower themselves to petty thievery. You're all a bunch of heathens.
Are talking about the knight and the mage ?
I though we could hire some mercenary, something like that.

Get in the crime scene, it will lead you somewhere you can hire henchmen

I'm in his boat ...
Love me some RPGs.
Broke and need to be smart about money.
Spent a decent amount of cash on Steam sales already (including RPGs like KoA).
Not gonna play any of these games anytime soon so no rush really.

I imagine the distraction system will have to be patched at some point right? Being able to have one character talk to a npc infinitely (and turn their gaze towards you) and allow the other to steal at will seems a bit overpowered. Certainly nice though

Spoil me, please bcause I'm past that and it seems I didn't met any xD
Edit : wait, I found it. I was dumb, lol.

It's waitin' for me...probably won't get a chance to even boot it up until Wedneaday night!
Thanks, I was dumb, lol.
Check your log carefully about the different parts you might have still to follow up on. It won't nessecarily be in order depending on how you did stuff. Anyway, I'm not sure if its a pet pal ability or not but the dog running around the grave was and will be very helpful. Also don't get it killed by erm... meddling with graves.

Unrelated, but its a bit too easy to sell your DLC grail so be careful all
Does skill power increase with your level in addition to its primary attribute (int, dex, str etc.)?
Also, can someone confirm if critical hits can happen with spells/skills? Want to know if perception is any use to a mage...

Is there a way to use the same characters across co-op and single-player? Trying to do co-op with a buddy at the same point in the game as me, and it's looking like we're going to have to start from the beginning (which is fine).

Yeah, I was wondering about this. How does multiplayer work? Do we both start from the beginning? Do we reach a point where we can freely join other people's games? If I want to do both, do I start a multiplayer game but is there a way to turn off other people joining?

Any who is still on the fence and turned away at the idea of turn based combat.
Two of the best PC RPGs, notably Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights could be actively paused giving you time to enter commands and cast spells and did not detract from the experience.
IF you enjoyed Baldur's Gate and NeverWinter Nights, there is TONS to enjoy in Divinity: Original Sin.
Putting the money down is worth it. The game is THAT good.

I'm crashing right at the start after character creation...

I just recently went through Baldur's Gate 2 and prefer Original Sin's combat.

I generally find myself with the OCD tendency others have of opening everything or stealing everything...so I make a pact with myself to generally not open anything but chests and not to steal rampantly. It makes these games go so much smoother. I also don't get unbalancedly wealthy either.
So far I'm really loving the game, at a minor roadblock in the murder quest cause I can't tell if he game expects me to steal to continue or if there's other means of advancing it. I'll weigh my options a little more.

The game really doesn't mess around early on, especially if you don't have a good class duo to start. Gets much easier once you round your squad out and gear up a bit better.
Nothing wrong with that. It's essentially the system from Temple of Elemental Evil, and a lot of people think that game has one of the best combat systems a WRPG has ever had.
No, only your party/characters will be availble for the co-op since it's registered ON YOUR computer. It's not saved on the cloud or on online server.
Yes, you can play your solo party and open it when you want.
For example at the moment, my buddy is re-playing solo the game from the begining.
He set up his party as multiplayer option but can still solo it so I can jump when I want.
Yes, that aspect right now is quite clumsy until they add in A.I. personalities.
You should be able to auto-resolve it at least by hitting space bar.
Yes, drag the portrait at the top until you break the link.

Uhh, so I can't claim my two digital keys? They were "awaiting delivery" or whatever it was yesterday. Now they're gone from my Kickstarter page on Larian Vault and it's just my two alpha keys.
The page said those would become un-usable and we'd have to put in the new digital keys. Did they just auto-convert the alpha/beta keys to release keys?

drag a portrait away from each other, the chain will break, pull them together to link them back together.
