Divinity Original Sin

Been playing this all evening and wow! The game is definitely worth it's eurogamer score :)

Really struggling how to build my group properly though. (spoilered incase peeps don't want to know about about the followers yet)

Started with a Wizard and a cleric and I am thinking of having the wiz as dps, cleric as healer (with some survivability), madora as tank, and library dude as ranged dps.
Does this sound ok??

Thats pretty much what im running with mate. My cleric ive been using as a sort of tankadin, lots of high armor gear, high resistance and use him as a big sponge.

My other class from the start was a witch which im using as one of my ranged casters, and the other person in my party im using as melee dps


BTW i totally recommend being a thieving git in this game. Even in the starting town ive found an absolute ton of blue/green gear hidden around not to mention some funny side quests.

Had a funny moment when i was asked by an npc if he should steal something as hes homeless, i said sure go ahead, then when he stole the item i went and blabbed on him to guards lol, i then found him in a prison cell later on and he totally ruined a quest in which i needed to steal an item and i couldnt sneak past the guys cell without him alerting the guards. Little touches like that are what make this game.

Also anyone with the Pet Pal skill have you tried talking to the sheep when you have shears in your inventory? :D

Just bought a copy from the same guy. His PayPal is unblocked now, and he's open for business again :)

Nice chap, super quick sale and immediately sent and redeemed.

THanks for the info, just bought a copy off him myself, he got 2 left now i think. Took a few mins and job done :)
 
He had none left when I tried. But I got Beyond Devinity, Devine Divinity & Devinity: Original Sin off him for the same price ($19) as he could not get another copy quick enough.

win win win

How demanding is this game? Rocking a measly 5670 at the mo. Guess low fps won't really matter too much if it's largely turn based combat?
 
Really enjoying this game, first couple of characters were getting steamrolled as I messed them up a bit. So started again with a Custom Knight and a Custom Wizard, seems pretty powerful combo, lonewolf and leech etc.

Only niggle I have, and it's more my brain than the game, is that reading so much text makes me sleepy (I am the same with books) it would be good if major/minor quest npcs had narrated conversations and I think it would help with the emursion that extra bit.
 
I wanted to like Dragon Age and in the end didn't take to it (many games petered out around the first small town/village place. I prefer this. I think because it's NOT voiced, so you don't need to constantly wait through 'dramatic' slow-ass reading of lines, and you can just read them :D
 
In DA? Because then everytime you skip to the next line the speech cuts out mid sentence jarringly.

I get that the spoken parts really improve immersion for a lot of people, but I wasn't in that group.

I was the same, I'd always have the subtitles read long before the conversation stopped. Always listened to Leliana's lines in full though, cos god, that voice :D

Actually, playing it a bit more I am not too fond of the combat. It is pretty boring.

I think this kind of game and it mechanics will only appeal to a small group of gamers. If you are finding the combat boring you have probably just wasted your money.

Saying that... I just had the most awesome battle near the church. Took a heck of a long time and lots of planning and quite a few deaths. Something that annoyed me was that I kept accidentally clicking the next turn button thinking my toon still had action points left, but instead skipped the next toons go! The music works so well, which is very much what I thought of divinity 2 as well.
