Support NeoGAF

Man, I'd like a signed copy but that's quite a jump up from the unsigned version.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

$125 is a bit high but feelies are good and I could always use anither stein...

 

[UrAvgGuy]

Enjoyed the first so I'm definitely in. That 125 looks nice...

 

[danthefan]

Backed at $25.

What a bargain.

 

[Burt]

I'd be happy with a few more digital goods. I'm not that greedy.

Yeah, can't argue with that. I do feel like they skimped a bit at the lower digital tiers. Suprised there isn't something simple like an adventurer's pack with a skin and an item. Not that they needed it, but it would've been nice.

 

[Lord Panda]

Went in for two copies of the game for $50

 

[AntiFacebook]

Original Sin is the best non blizzard game I played this decade, so I backed this one without thinking twice(for 125$,can't pass on all those physical goodies)

 

[Dsyndrome]

In for the Double Dibs, hope to see them make a ton and go way beyond their expectations.

 

[Anoregon]

I never played D:OS, but I love infinity engine games and really enjoyed Pillars of Eternity.

I should probably back this, I guess?

 

[Godot]

Instantly backed for the digital copy. After an hour it has already surpassed every other day of the first campaign (101k on the last day was the peak), that's great.

They play more like Ultima and less like infinity engine. But, you should still back it.

 

[Trickster]

Shouldn't they have some stretchgoals? Or do those normally come later? I rarely look at kickstarters right when they're announced

Yeah, you're probably right. Backed.

 

[Sinatar]

Yea stretch goals come when the goal is hit or about to be hit generally.

They might want to get on that, as this sucker is flying.

Aha, makes sense really.

And yeah. I'm guessing this game will be one of the best funded games ever on kickstarter given how superb the first one is

 

[Enduin]

Beyond sold.

 

[Lime]

Cool, in for the D:OS+D:OS2 double pack.

 

[firehawk12]

I assumed the first one was extremely successful... why couldn't they use the money from that to fund the sequel?

 

[Dennis]

Pledged for $25 for now.

I own the first game but has yet to play it.

I am backing this solely on GAF judgement of the first game.

 

[Bl@de]

Two very different user interfaces will be supported - one for mouse & keyboard and another for controllers. If you play with controllers, you'll be able to use the same split-screen feature introduced in Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition.

 

[vocab]

I assumed the first one was extremely successful... why couldn't they use the money from that to fund the sequel?

They are. They have a budget in mind already, but want additional funds to make it even better.. They want community feedback as well so kickstarter makes sense.

 

[Arulan]

I assumed the first one was extremely successful... why couldn't they use the money from that to fund the sequel?

It was, and they are. The Kickstarter is to expand the scope of the game well beyond their means. It worked similarly for the first game too.

 

[MrCunningham]

Surprised that they are kickstarting this game, given how well the first Original Sin sold. According to Steam Spy it sold an estimated 852,859 copies on Steam alone. I'm sure it has a high number on GOG as well.But I guess if the money goes for helping them finish the game, then sure.

 

[firehawk12]

Hrm. Well, if nothing else, I suppose the one benefit of preordering the game beyond supporting some kind of expanding scope is getting the game at half price.

 

[patapuf]

I assumed the first one was extremely successful... why couldn't they use the money from that to fund the sequel?

They are and the answer as to why they return to kickstarter is right in the OP

 

[AColdDay]

I said this in the Kickstarter comments, and I'll say it here too: I'm bummed that I can't create a party of four.

 

[Sinatar]

I assumed the first one was extremely successful... why couldn't they use the money from that to fund the sequel?

Time to set up a running tally of how many times this is going to be posted.

 

[CHC]

They are gonna get SO much money. 166k in mere hours....

That's great news. I never finished the first game but I really liked what I played and will come back once the director's cut upgrade is out.

 

[Burt]

I know this isn't the spot, but because of the general layout and setting, when I saw this screenshot I immediately thought

Spoiler

DON'T TOUCH THE GRAVE

 

[Jeremy]

Time to set up a running tally of how many times this is going to be posted.

Hahahahaha!

Also, I'm torn between the $25 and $125 collector's edition.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

25 bucks? Sure, why the hell not! The original is superb and for 25 bones I'm confident Larian will produce a great sequel.

 

[shiftplusone]

I really liked the first game but thought the way it implemented co op was dog shit

When we went to the weirdo dimension thing with the little goblin (first town so I dont think its really spoilers), it's a bunch of her going through dialogue options while I have to just eyeball it all in the chat log and stand around until she's done

and that motherfucker talks A LOT

 

[Purkake4]

I'm not really convinced about the multiplayer stuff, that was one thing that really annoyed me about the D:OS.

 

[Nirolak]

I assumed the first one was extremely successful... why couldn't they use the money from that to fund the sequel?

They are. This is for additional funds.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I missed out on backing the first. That situation has been rectified.

 

[PFD]

I haven't played the first one. Might jump on the $50 tier to get both games! (or i might get the first one on PS4 instead...)

A later patch made it so you could read them along in your own dialogue box.

 

[SerRodrik]

I still haven't gotten around to buying Original Sin 1, so I had to back when I saw I could get both games for $50. That's a really good deal considering the original is still going for $40.

 

[Kudo]

Shouldn't they finish Enhanced Edition before running this?
I haven't even played the game yet, but if the Kickstarter is still going on after EE is released I might pledge.

 

[FrontalMonk]

In for $25. Maybe that'll go up for the collector's edition, but for now I'm happy to know I did my part to make D:OS2 happen.

 

[Pinko Marx]

Shouldn't they finish Enhanced Edition before running this?

Why should they do that? What would stop them from doing both?

 

[kurahador]

What if the Enhanced Edition sold 3-4 million copies on PS4/X1, do they give back backers money?

The game is basically finished. It has a release date.

 

[samuraidino]

Wut?

 

[Pinko Marx]

What if the Enhanced Edition sold 3-4 million copies on PS4/X1, do they give back backers money?

They're already throwing their own money into the game, just like they did with D:OS 1.

 

[Kudo]

Why should they do that? What would stop them from doing both?

I don't know.. Maybe more people would pledge for the sequel after they have played the first one? Just a maybe..
Enhanced Edition is coming to consoles too so I think they messed up a little, but whatever I'm sure they'll hit the target anyway.
I just know that I won't pledge for game sequel I haven't even played yet, would assume lots of people are the same.

 

[Lain]

Nice amount left in the dibs tier, backed for $25.

 

[KiteGr]

No stretch goals?

Its not even in development for consoles (yet). Original Sin was originally a PC ass PC game and thats who they targeted for the first release. So it makes sense that they're dipping back into that well for the sequel. And now that they've gotten all this praise from their first game this game will probably do even better.
I'm willing to bet Larian know what they're doing with this.

 

[epmode]

No stretch goals?

Why bother posting them until they know what kind of money to expect from the campaign? You will absolutely see them when they approach the goal.
