Hits early access tomorrow. I've had the first game in my cart quite few times but just haven't pulled the trigger yet but I will ...O yes....I will.

Looks a lot like Dungeon Siege. Is it an MMO?

No. It's a single player (I believe you can team up in MP) isometric D&D type game. You have one character and permanant u travel with a second which you create. Others can join up to 4 (I believe). At any rate, that's what Divinity: Original Sin was. Great game as you can interact with the environment. Chop open a cask if oil and people slip when they walk on it. Shoot the oil with a flaming arrow and it all catches fire

Don't forget deep, turn-based tactical combat.

On my wishlist.

You're really starting to get my attention now. I'll be following along.

Downloaded it yesterday and still haven't found the time to play it :(

Def not dungeon siege. More like wasteland 2. Real time exploration going turnbased when spotted by enemy for combat. If you are not spotted then you have ability to cast predatory spells.

another game I really liked just didn't get that far into it.
Insert witty comment here.

Just tried it for a minute or two.

Seems you only start with 1 character (instead of creating 2 like last time), and while there are new customization options (race, music instrument, plot tags),
They have toned down the customization of the rest (less hairs and faces for humans, hair colors, only start with 1 talent point, starting equipment and starting skills are set by the class you
are customizing from and cannot be changed).

Also, maybe because it's early access, but no voice over so far.

EDIT: It does however offer about 3-4 pre-made characters that are supposed to have some specific plots.
