Divinity Original Sin

There is an option to turn of the camera restriction and give it a full 360 turning capability.

Whoops, I missed out that one!

And it does indeed come with a warning along the lines of what I was saying

I haven't figured it out either....although I killed the main suspect anyway. I tried to go into the suspects bedroom and was told not to. I responded "I go where I want" to which a huge fight resulted with the suspect and their guards. So without a confession, I may have "broken" the quest. Of so, screw it. I will find a new quest or start over

There's a back door, Mike. Maybe the only complaint I have at the moment with Divinity is the camera - which is very constricted and sometimes one can miss out important details like that door. I can only wonder about that, maybe it's because of the shaders/rendering they're using (they restrict the camera to make sure the 'tricks' work and the scene looks good).

All  snickering aside. Seeing as how I went in the front door and not the back door, did I ruin the quest by wiping out everyone before a confession simply because I barged in her room?

I've not had any problems with the limited horizontal camera arcs.  They obviously didn't place anything on the nearest walls and the default covers the rest. 

It may sound odd, but I kinda like it since you don't have to worry about over-steering the camera around your character or losing your sense of direction in the process.  The game content was obviously created with it in mind so I'm gtg.

New patch is out:

We just released the first official patch for Divinity:Original Sin which introduces the concept of AI personalities.

During character creation, you can now select a specific personality for your characters. When a personality is active the AI will automatically make dialogue choices (based on its personality) for the avatar that isn't selected.

In addition to this, we've made a lot of improvements as well as bug fixes and balancing changes.

You'll also notice that you can now publish to Steam Workshop using the Divinity Engine Toolkit.

Here's the full list of changes:

Aha!!!! The perfect excuse I needed to restart and not go on a rampage killing important characters.

I am not sure if Larian put a fallback for that. One of the pieces at RPS on Divinity claimed that Larian quest design allowed for major characters to be killed. But probably is better to reload a saved game :)

Original Sin 2 has been released.
It reminded me that I still need to play 1!
The sequel looks great though and has some interesting features. Dungeon Master mode anyone?! Indeed, a DM can guide a party of 4 players on custom adventures in Rivellon!  :bd:

[bob48]

I'm stuck on 1 and have given up. I really should go back to it and maybe start off again.

[Yskonyn]

That's unfortunate. Was this in the Enhanced Ed.?
If not perhaps your issue has been fixed?

I played the game for a short while but it released just pior to a game I was really looking forward to (can't remember which anymore) at it pretty much slipped into oblivion unnoticed.
Its a shame because the game received various awards and I have always liked Larian's humourand style. I will make a point of starting 1 again soon.

[bob48]

It is the Enhanced Edition. I brought it in a sale (and a copy for the wife). I think the fault is partly mine as I tried to explore rather than concentrate on finishing quests, so I came to area's that really need my characters to be at higher levels.

[Gusington]

Why have I not played this?

[mirth]

you have, but you were really drunk.

[Gusington]

Hmm that checks out. Ok. 😎
