Games get patched constantly. Quake 2 just got patched last year.
I agree with mostly everything in your review, but goddamn that is an annoying way to review ><

Okay. Question about Act 2:
Are there two towns? Hunter's Edge and Silvergarten? The merchants in the forest lead me to believe there are two, and I'm ddeciding against healing their mount just to get there.
Obviously a bit spoilerish.
There is another small city in that map that isn´t hunter´s edge. Hunter´s is in another map.
Nice, I can't wait to play around with the toolkit some more. So many ideas of stuff I want to do.
Are we still in any form of "beta?"

It left Early Access on June 30th, which is when Divinity: Original Sin was fully released.
These patches are just Larian doing A Good Job to quickly fix issues that are problematic for users. It is really what we should expect from all developers for PC titles.
The era of
I played a few hours of the beta on my current generation 13" rMBP It got pretty warm in the character creation screen but then leveled off. Battery life was only 3 hours. Playing with the track pad was a pain but it's also the first time I used it in a game. Graphics and movement was fine. Didn't notice it being any smoother on my PC.

Cause I am a dumb ass and kept doing it since they first announced it. It was like a bad movie lyric
Ya my stuff is NOT for everyone. But glad we agree on the game. Which for the company is the important part. They deserve the love.

Is the global chat server not working? I haven't been able to connect for a few days.
You use them on your armor (maybe weapons?) if your craft level is high enough.

Totally agree with the first sentence. Honestly that is exactly how I felt. I put it as 1-2 generations ago the last time I felt that I was playing a game this good in this genre.
Edit: Good god at the Global chat crap.
Immaculate Trial Cave spoilers (Need help):
So, is my cave bugged out or something? First, I couldn't figure out how to unlock the first 2 doors you approach at the beginning, so I picked the one on the left and ran across all those bedrolls and books. I encountered the Star Stone but it just zapped and did nothing else, unlike the other ones you encounter where the imp informs you of a new room, which I thought was odd but went along with it.
Then I went up the stairs to the south and the Immaculate leader was there, but I couldn't talk to him at all, he was just doing his chants/rants. I then picked the door again to the north and solved the lever puzzle, but nothing happens when I KNOW I am doing the right thing. The solution is written on the wall but the combination isn't working for me when I click the lone lever to "submit" my answer?
After that frustration, I loaded my save and went through the other door (I picked this one as well), and solved the pressure plate puzzle. This brought me back to the lever room and I can't do anything with it.
Any help at all? Did I miss something or break something?

Why do you have to pick doors? I don´t know if you break something with it. For me the path through the dungeon was basically set. Does the statue talk to you at the beginning?
It should send you right through a hallway leading to a pressure plate puzzle.
You should've gone the middle door, not the left door. You don't need to pick any door.
The statue doesn't respond with anything. I think my dungeon is broken
Edit: I am reloading a save from a bit back and re-trekking to the cave and I will report back. God please work.

Wierd. Your quest is at the right step? You should have the dungeon marked on the map.
Maybe try to go through it in the right direction. You basically did the thing the wrong way around.
I passed the oral test and the leader marked the dungeon on my map, so I think I am?

That was so great. SOOO great.
Yeah you should be. Normally the statue talks to you about the trails.
Ok, I re-loaded a save I had right after I passed the first test and ran back to the cave and it talked to me. I will now proceed accordingly, thanks!
Same here. I know lots of people complain about the "Barrens chat" element, but I like it.
Is there a purpose to Hanneman's Axe? It's unique but otherwise unremarkable, found in the Hall of Heroes.

Are there hotkeys for loot windows? If not, there should be.
Like, R to Loot Current, and X to close Current, and, I dunno, T to Close All.
Edit Thank you, AndyMoogle!

No problem, i really like how many saves the game keeps for stuff like this.

Esc close all open windows, Space takes all loot and close the current loot window. There might be others.

I haven't used it yet, but Larian has said it's the same tools they used to make the game.. so I'd imagine the quality is pretty good.

Larian just posted 7 new tutorial videos for the editor today: https://www.youtube.com/user/LarianStudios/videos

Thanks for this. Anyone used these yet here?
Included the tools they used, AND making tutorial videos to help people?
This is a good sign. Will be picking up this game soon.
Do it!

So for those of you that enjoy Original Sin, I would recommend throwing some bones towards Divinity: Dragon Commander if only just to give great developers more support.
I bought it during the sale, I have every Larian game on Steam. I love them

I've bought every Divinity game. I will get to them all. Someday. This is my first! I know the rest are all different types of games and of varying quality but I'm still looking forward to trying them.

That's the only game from them I don't own yet. I'll pick it up once I'm done with the others.
Pets in general have amazing aggro. That alone makes them incredibly useful. My spider also seems to be getting more tanky as I progress in levels, even against similarly high-level enemies.

Currently in the same situation. Thinking about starting a single player file.
Spending the weekend at the beach, and all I want to do is play the game. Worst part us that I put so much time in the first few days I was way ahead of the curve and discovering things before the vast majority of people playing, now when I get back I'll have to fight spoilers.
Also, on a related note to the Immaculate trial question, a that does highlight an issue I often have with these games, that being a breaking of the intended quest/story chain and while you can still progress, things are obviously a bit borked in terms of plot and smooth, logical progression. Happened to me on both maps, will probably happen on the next one too. Explore too far without the proper quest picked up, make enemies with the wrong faction, whatever, it all leads to the story feeling like mismatched puzzle pieces.

In the middle of the murder investigation and I don't know how I would have gotten as far as I've gotten without

Is Charisma terribly useful when playing single-player? I've only encountered one instance of the RPS mini-game and the guy just used rock every time.

Could anyone tell me how to get the "The mind is a terrible thing to test" achievement, I'm over 30 hours into the game and I feel like I've missed something early on.
