To add to this, you can also re-order them whenever you wish by dragging a chained character above or below another chained character.
This is handy if you want a specific character to always be on the F1, F2, etc hotkeys.

Ahh ok, whew. I was starting to wonder, thanks!
Is there a way to make that action a hotkey?

Currently in the "overwhelmed by choice and can't commit to a proper route for a first playthrough" phase of my relationship with this game. I'm wary of picking terrible ability/class/stat combinations that won't reveal themselves as terrible until halfway through the game. Worried that some classes are more "fun" to play than others and that I'm picking the duds.
There's really no way to assuage this but to play the damn game and disregard the consequences, but I've been conditioned by old-school cRPGs like Arcanum to believe that certain builds will fuck you over if you don't plan your entire playthrough around them.

There's several directions you can go out of town, it's up to you which is really worth attempting.
These are the paths I found, as well as the easiest route: (spoilers)
The Northwest-most town exit, sort of near the mortician's house, has level 3 Undead enemies that are much easier to defeat than the Orcs to the West or the Undead to the Northeast. There is also an area underground, beneath the town, which offers some good adventuring opportunities. If you want a hint of where to find it, here's ya go: just look for the dog mourning his owner.
Also, completely unrelated, but there's something I didn't realise when making a character that y'all might want to know: the conversation/personality traits you get give you a plethora of abilities, seems like almost every stat in the game is fair game. Because of this, my warrior and mage have some low-level sneaking and crafting talents.
So seriously, don't be afraid to make a build that you like instead of a build that feels optimal.

Game is crack status and legit.
Approved. So glad I just found out about the game yesterday otherwise waiting to play it would have been torture lol.

Anyone else playing exclusively with a friend? Planning on doing that, but don't really know much how the co-op will work.
Also notable is when you enter sneak mode with a single character, the others will automatically stop following them.

Also! Sneak mode disguises are not always the same. (They might be environmentally-chosen?)
But they're all ridiculous.

Yes, alpha/beta keys are just release keys now.
well or just a bigger pause between them. In gothic it actually adds to the atmosphere.
I was playing single player until my friend got home, but now I am playing coop and it's a dream come true. Pretty much built for coop.

I turned the volume down to 10%. It still gives the ambiance of dialogue, but yeah, isn't annoying. So many games get this wrong, I don't get it.
It really seems like they decided to voice the game at the last minute. As it is now, the background dialogue was obviously not designed to be heard. NPCs speak too often and repeat themselves too quickly. A quick fix would be to disable all background voice while in dialogue or in a menu but Larian should also lower the frequency.
I just disabled voices entirely. I look forward to re-enabling it when it's tweaked, though. The voices are good!

Your weapon has durability, and it may take many swings to break open a sturdy chest. This is a very durability-inefficient manner of doing things.
While I don't know what happens when a weapon reaches 0 durability, I can't imagine it being anything good, given how the game doesn't screw around with traps and such.
Lockpicking is a matter of efficiency.
I played this for a few hours, and my biggest complaint actually is that there isn't any night. It's actually a very trivial one, but it feels really weird and even a bit tiring after getting used to the old IE games that all had the day/night system. Strange.
Also, the shopping system is a bit obtuse. You can't seem to initiate it by talking to the storekeeper and have to pickup an item to start bartering? It's a bit weird.
Other than that, I couldn't be happier. I wasn't following this game at all and I'm suddenly playing a game that's more than worthy of the old CRPG games.

As far as I can tell this is how large the world map of Divinity is. I scrolled from top to bottom as much as I could go and lined everything up.
Unless the Map expands as you discover more areas (Like it scrolling to the left or right for example) this seems to be fairly sizable location to explore, although I wonder if this is everything and not just one area to the game.
I took this picture immediately after the Orc Battle prior to entering Cyseal on the docks with the burning boat. So using that as a point of reference to how much map I've uncovered.
I'm going to make it my personal quest to uncover 100% of the map and upload for everyone to use if they like.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards this as well. Especially with the dialogue distraction.

There's definitely multiple maps - it's larger than that.
I know this to be true because of... certain magical accidents.

The character with the skills is the one that needs to initiate it. Just like how characters without Pet Pal can't communicate with animals unless someone with Pet Pal initiates that discussion, as least this is far from my own experience (I could be incorrect)
Just tried it myself. The initiator's bartering skill is used, even if you use the arrows to scroll to other characters while bartering.

One niggling issue I have is that when I want to attack, I accidently move and use up action points. Is there something I am missing to avoid this?
Yeah I've done this a few times x_x
"oh, the invisible hand wants me to snuggle up to the enemy skeleton, okay"
This just made me want to restart and pick No AI -- sounds fun! I'm imagining my companion, who's a ranger-type, to be an asocial prick and a thief.
Wish that at least one of my friends would've picked this up. My pimping of this game failed miserably...

None of my quicksave or autosave thumbnails are correct for that particular part of the game, so I have to rely on the in-game clock time when choosing a save to load. This is rather odd.

I don't think it's as cartoony as torchlight. Especially not the environments.
Also I want to play this but I must finish my assignments first. T_T
