I'm pretty sure it has LAN play. If I remember correctly the first version of the early access that had coop turned on was LAN only.
My characters aren't updating to show the faces I've selected, only my portraits update but my actual characters stay default.
Any idea how to fix this?
nvm: I thought the portrait you chose was the editor. Too excited to get in game, overlooking obvious things like this does not bode well for the actual gamaplay...

They do still have their line of sight, for example, so positioning them a certain way makes it all possible.
A nice "distraction" feel to it, really. Some true next-level pick-pocketing... very satisfying.
That sounds so awesome.

Ahh ok I forgot about the line of sight. The distraction technique sounds like a game changer.
No idea if these things are known or not, but I'll ask anyway. Is there going to be a rest system/ability in the game, or are you going to be reliant on having a character with heal/potions?
What about a housing system, or a place for you to keep your crafting stuff in one place instead of all over your inventory?

There is still a pickpocketing skill, fail your skill check and that wouldn't work.
You don't just have an own house, you have your own homestead.

Christ, that composition you're treated to while the game unpacks right now, so good, I need to find what the name is. I'm still holding off to play the full release but I've had it for a good while now, and it's been fun to have a small look in from time to time and see how things have progressed.
You can lie down to rest-heal HP. Click on a bed and you'll take the weight off your feet. Crafting food is also more than viable. I think food might be better than potions even. And yes there's a 'home' area but you can learn about that in-game, it's a plot-point.
Well I mean along the lines of "face NPC into a corner and rob his house blind" sort of stuff being a little too easy.

You can sleep on a bed to regain health. It's not exactly a housing system but you do have a homestead that you can teleport to. You unlock more rooms as you find certain stones and you can send your items to one of these rooms so you don't have to carry everything around.
Yea I guess it really depends on what kind of valuables are lying around in people's houses.
Hell I spent hours in Ultima 7 using my followers to rob people blind (gotta keep them virtues up on the Avatar himself) so it seems fitting here.

This........................is awesome!!!!!!
spoiler question regarding the homestead:
Btw you eventually get two items that allow you to teleport to one of them if you use the other. So you can teleport to your chracters if they are holding them or drop one on the ground and then teleport to it. It's quite fun!
Did anyone else here immediately think "Holy shit this is straight out of Chrono Trigger" when you first beamed to the platform with the Imp on it???

I think they can
also be used in battle, too. Could open up some interesting possibilities..

Friendly reminder for the OP.
You might want to change the image at the top OP. You have the original artwork displayed. When it was first revealed there was a bit of outrage from the community as to how exposed the female lead was so they redid it.
As an aside I think it is pretty awesome and refreshing in this day an age that the main artwork for the game has the two main characters holding hands. Signs of affection are a pretty rare focal point for video game boxart. Here is the new image:
What's the catch then, there has to be something wrong with this game...
It can't possibly be this good, almost every game I've played in the last few years has disappointed me.
This might be one of the few that remind me why gaming is one of my favourite pastimes.
My cynicism is trying to ruin it for me, it's a good thing that every new area makes me love this game a little bit more.

Well there's always the possibility that the unrevealed portion of the game is a rushed, ill-conceived, buggy jumble. Y'never know.
I wonder how divergent everyone's experiences will be. Things like not having a thief character could change the game immensely.
Hopefully DOS has been well-balanced and designed from the ground up for such different approaches. Judging from the tutorial dungeon, this has been the case.
Oh, of course, the quality of what we have access to just surprised me a little. Went in pretty much blind and this is really refreshing.
GPS gaming has dulled my brain, little things like lifting up urns to hunt for keys and placing barrels over poison traps to block the fog are stumping me more then they should. It's absolutely brilliant.

I Kickstarted this game way back... whenever... because I was sold on their pitch video. Last night I finally booted up the Alpha/Beta and played through the tutorial dungeon into the first town. Holy crap, this game is amazing. Combat is awesome. Character customization and skills are incredibly deep. Not to mention the dialog system is top notch with having two main characters that you can role play different conversations with.
My only quibble is that UI and text is pretty small on my 11" gaming laptop. But that's my fault, not the game's.
Other than that I'm stoked for the full release!
I ended up murdering the two drinks guards after the tutorial dungeon because I was RPing my cleric as a chaotic neutral
/good character. Meanwhile I had my fighter disagree and ended up going through the Rock/Paper/Scissors mini game to decide how they'd handle the situation.

I do have to say that it can be incredibly hard to click on the enemy to attack if your chracters are very close to them. Wish that was easier,I accidentally lost 4 action points because of a misclick. Also a "double click to accept" would be nice instead of a "one click does action" in combat.

In situations like that, use the tactical camera for a quick top-view of the action.
huh i totally forgot that exists! thanks for reminding me!

I don't know of the top of my head but if you hover over the blue button on the right side of the minimap it will tell you!
'B', you can also click one of the buttons near the mini map.
The chain thing is genius.
OK guys, I've got this installed on my MacBook Pro Retina 15'' and I'm ready to give my all.
Is anyone else running on the Pro with the 750M GFX card? Can I get some suggestions of graphics settings? I feel like the game is lagging a little bit?
Anyway - I've got to run to a meeting, but I'll pour some time into this once I'm back - I'm excited as hell. This whole thing looks and sounds like the game I've wanted to play since Baldurs Gate 2 during the summer of 2001(?)

We have games like Wasteland 2 and Dead Rising 3 that won't even be available for months. This isn't so bad in comparison.

Isn't the chain-link the same as a "follow me" button? Doesn't seem that revolutionary to me.
Casimir and Durante should solve this perceived disagreement through a friendly game of rock, paper, scissors.

Functionality wise is the same, but the presentation and how fast is to break and regroup your party is pretty good.
get out.
nothing I know of. maybe if it becomes a million seller? I don't think such a game would translate well to consoles anyway; would be too fiddly.

I played this back when they first released the kickstarter Alpha thing. The game even back then looked great, so I haven't played it since, waiting for the real release.
So for kickstarter backers, can we use the current Steam build save games or should I just wait for the 30th before starting? Hopefully they release the final steam keys before then.

Even in jest, it's still like a knife in my heart.
All current saves will be wiped when the final version is released. Only play now if you want a quick taste before the game hits.
the info about save wipes should really be prominent in the OP. I feel this is being asked every page anew. Saves will be incompatible. So better wait for the 30th.
All save files will be incompatible with the final release.
Someone in the Larian Forums said that the Steam Beta version you get with the kickstarter will stop working after the game is released so backers can decide they want the Steam or GOG version, but I don't know if that's true.
They would need to win 2, the Dragon Commander UI was also fantastic.

I'm thinking for my run I'll have a nature-warrior and a spellcaster.
Mib Noosc and Reihanyd will be their names.
Rock.

I know you're joking, but my crappy pc can run this just fine, guessing most of GAF could probably play this on the comp they are browsing the forum with.
Get it dudes, need to encourage development of these kinds of games...and don't forget PoE down the line soon
