Anyone Else Excited for Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition ?

I know i'm picking up a copy for my PS4 on Tuesday, i've been watching vids and reading up on it, and it's much more advanced than it's older PC version.

The enhanced edition has complete voice dialogue, complete 360 camera control, and even more combat choices as well as extra quest lines, not to mention the graphics look pretty killer.

Anyone else grabbing a copy Tuesday?

well it's free for all the people who bought it on PC

Yup i heard that too, but since i did not have the foresight to get it on PC or MAC, i'll be getting it on PS4, at least i have a $25 Best Buy certificate, so that'll cut down the price a bit.

I didn't get very far into D:OS when I played it about 5 months ago so I'm looking forward to playing the Enhanced edition. Considering the amount of work that has gone into this updated version it's a really nice gesture to be getting it for no additional cost.

I hope it does well on consoles, because it's a really good game and there's not much else like it available for console players.

Oh really? That's wonderful news. :)

I will be picking it up for ps4 next pay day. Cannot wait.

Curious to see how it will work on controller. Will update my PC version to EE when it comes out.

I sure am. I want to see the new missions and voice-acting.

Yeah I'm getting it I'm just not sure I'll have much time for it this week :)

Yes. I am actually restarting the game on the enhanced version.

yep its on my wishlist. im just waiting for the linux release.

Not even slightly, and I was a backer. Super-disappointed with what was released and since they aren't fixing the major problems with the original - the awful, poorly written story and the complete lack of compelling characters/companions - I have no reason to give it another shot. I was expecting a decent narrative, but as it turned out it might as well have been Dungeon Siege 3 or Diablo 3 with turn-based combat. The narrative felt like less than an afterthought in this game and since that is primarily why I play RPGs, I don't really see any reason to play it.

Definately.

Of all the new cRPGs, it was easily the best. As good as Dragonfall was.

Well it looks like most people are picking it up, thats good news, That means maybe Original sin 2 will do even better when it comes out.....let's hope.

I agree with this^^

D:OS really pushed the genre into 21st century without dumbing it down.

We must have been playing completely different games. PoE was miles away better than D:OS.

I've seen you countless times before bashing D:OS, so it's obvious that the game wasn't for you. That's all I'm gonna say.

I respect your opinion.

A little bit.

Honestly I thought DOS was pretty overrated, sucks cause I was excited for the game but once I got my hands on it the game felt barren (as no life or care was put into the characters/player characters). Once Pillars was released though, it just beat DOS in everything.

Day 1 for me. Same with FO4.

I'm excited for it, loving wasteland 2 at the moment.

I loved the original and can't wait to play the Enhanced Edition. For Larian's benefit, hopefully console gamers will appreciate my 2014 GOTY as much as PC gamers did.

i played the original one for for over 200h, think i got enough. Would highly suggest to those who haven't played it and are into rpg's, tho. That was my first top down rpg i've ever played *i think* and loooooved it

I have Pillars on my MAC and it's good, but as far as depth of story or characters, it hasn't really left a lasting impression on me, in fact i started it over 2 weeks ago and got about 3 hours in, and i haven't went back to it yet.

Seems to me if the characters or story was really compelling i would not have been able to keep away too long.

Will it have keyboard / mouse support on consoles?

That game would control terribly with a gamepad.

PoE has way more compelling story and characters than D:OS. The only flaw of PoE is that it does a lot of things in an antiquated way, while D:OS EE will do it in a more modern way. No more doing stuff in clunky and annoying ways "just because, old school gaming".

They reworked stuff to make it gamepad friendly.

Cool. I know many people who bought it yet haven't really played it. This is a good reason to hop back in.

what are the features of EE? how is it different

hardly can w8 , I was looking for an excuse to play it again. .. now I have it

Yes, the original had some of the best turn based combat I've ever seen. With some of the changes it looks to be THE best. Tuesday can't come soon enough.

I'm still waiting for my key. I backed part 2 and will get the Enhanced Edition pretty soon when they send me the key. Not too excited however, I hate how Fallout 4 is going to take over my life.

Yes! I never got it originally so I'm waiting on my key for backing Original Sin 2.

Pillows of Eternity was a big snooze and by far the biggest disappointment of all the new cRPGs. The game entirely missed the point of what made the likes of Baldur's Gate 2 so great, feeling like a homeage rather than a spiritual successor. Instead of memorable encounter design, tonnes of spells that are fun to mess around with, mage duels, and a good implementation of a setting and ruleset. We got one of the worst rulesets known to man, forgettable encounter design, repetitive scenarios, and a story that just makes you want to ragequit at a certain point, draconian balance, boring loot and an XP system that wasnt very enjoyable.

There were some good quests early on, but after the first 5 hours, the game dropped so badly.

I agree. Though I would say it has some of the best RPG combat period. Though nothing outclasses Jagged Alliance 2.

I am. Since I already own the PC version, I get it free.

@Maroxad:

Funny, I would say pretty much all the same stuff about D:OS. Most certainly the story, balance, encounter design and loot system. Arguably the repetitive encounters and XP system. I would also add the worst, most unintuitive, and frustrating crafting emplimentation I have ever seen in single player RPG.

For a game that takes 30-100 hours to beat (30 if you skip every dialogue), you might want to put more than 3 hours into it.

In the same boat - absolutely loving Wasteland 2: DC on my One, takes me back to Fallout 1 & 2 in the way Bethesda's games don't.

And I have D:OS preloaded for Tues. Doubt I can finish both before FO4 comes out.

@SerOlmy: The XP system? Lolno, Pillows of Eternity gave you only for completing quests and a miniscule ammount for killing a few enemies, which is great in theory but was implemented so badly in PoE. The experience points system in Divinity on the other hand was the traditioanl tried and true method. The balancing wasnt draconian and anti fun either. With the devs flat out encouraging you to find builds that would let you cheese through stuff (compared to the no fun allowed of PoE). Divinity Origianl Sin also had some fun encounters here and there. Like the one with the necromancer and the dogs, the lava elementals, the dozens of suicide bombers. Divinity's encounter design wasnt BG2, but it sure as hell wasnt at Neverwinter nights levels or DAO levels of bad. Every single encounter I did things slightly differently, either due to changes in enemies, level design or level design.

In Pillows, I used the same tactic for every fight, and it worked. In comparison, in Pillows, Every encounter was almost exactly the same, with using a door and my tank to block access to squishier party members, or in open areas, kite whenever someone who isnt a tank pulled more enemies. Any interesting scenarios in PoE came down to the context of them (high level bear in cave, dragon assaulting town), rather than the actual tactical depth they offered.

Crafting in Divinity was bad though, not Skyrim levels of bad (though Skyrim is a really low bar), but still bad, I will give you that much. Itemization is a mixed bag, but overall, the fixed loot in divinity was preferable to the boring effects of PoE. At least Divinity had *some* good items here and there. Including some which would give you access to new abilities. That might otherwise be way out of reach for your character.

Divinity didnt have much of a story, so I am not going to remove many points, what was there was pretty bad though. But a bad story, very light story is still way better than an offensive story seen in the likes of PoE. Which went out of your way to completely waste your time for an entire act. You do a lot for an act, then it turns out it was all for nothing. That is a good trigger to uninstall a game.

The presentation and engine of Pillows is great, and the two Chris Avellone companions were well written too. But the rest of the game was quite frankly rubbish.

Im very excited for it.

Especially now that i know its free for me.

i plan on getting it in a couple months or so.. with Fallout 4 and Battlefront coming up i wont have time for it. gonna be fun to couch co-op though

I can't pay $60 for a low budget KS game. Maybe when it's $20 or less down the road.

it's $60 on console? ouch

@lostrib: Like seriously. They begged for money and now they are over-flipping it.

Very much so.

That makes no sense considering it is one of the best rpgs of the last 5 years for many people. It is worth that price more than 80% of the rpgs of the last 5 years imo.

Haven't played a lot of rpgs, huh?

can you play it with a controller on PC?

@Gue1:

Yep, split screen too. Though I've heard you can't mix keyboard and controller with the local co-op.
