Do you have that one Geek?  Join us and get your balls shot off!

I do have Divinity Original Sin on my wishlist actually, after seeing you lot wax lyrical about it.  Not going to buy at the current price though.

My mouse is over the purchase button but MD might get upset if I go in without him.

Crap I do not want to pay full price especially so soon after the sale...the raving and insanity is catchy with this one though and the Metacritic user reviews are off the hook, yo.

I find it much easier to resist buying games nowadays, thanks to my considerable backlog.  If this had been released a year ago my attitude would have been "I need this game!" and I would've found an excuse to buy it fairly soon afterwards.  But now I can just shrug it off.  I'm not missing out, really, because if I did buy it today the chances are I wouldn't touch it for months anyway.

I'll wait for the next sale at the very least.

2 questions: does it use AD&D rules for combat?

Also, can you find/buy better and better armor and weapons? I would assume there are tons of variety of weapons but wanted to axe someone

I see that.

No it's not an AD&D system, but uses an action point system to move, cast spells, drink potions, switch weapons, etc...

Yes is the short answer to the question.  What I cannot tell you is are bought items better than found or crafted.  I just haven't gotten far enough into the game to answer it.  Perhaps someone else can give a better answer.

I keep seeing people mention playing "lone wolf " in the game forums what does it mean to play "lone wolf"?

Edit: never mind. Apparently it is a trait that can be selected

[Gusington]

What does it mean? Playing without a group?

[Grim.Reaper]

They are on fire with patches today:)  Someone mentioned this is the 4th issued today alone....

Update 1.0.41.

Hello everybody,

Thank you for all your feedback. It's helped us fix a number of issues which were hard to track.

- Fixed: Crashes on saving
- Fixed: Dialogs locking up when talking to certain npcs with two players
- Fixed: Extremely big pool of blood
- Fixed: Cloud artefacts
- Fixed: Crash during unlearning active skills
- Fixed: Steam cloud saving (the Steam from Valve that is, the Steam cloud in game was already working :) )
- Fixed: German and French translation artefacts. You still need to manually activate the subtitles in the options screen. We'll make it automatic on the next update.
- Fixed: Corruption caused by video playback on Mac

For our Kickstarter backers - we've located the reason why you're not getting the DLC and are working on a solution.

Have fun!

If you take the lone wolf trait for one of your main characters (you get two main characters that you create at the start of the game), that character no longer gets the ability to recruit and use a hireling.  Each of you main characters gets one hireling, so potentially you could have a party of four characters.  The trade of for taking lone wolf is gaining an increase in hit points and other ability scores.  Also I suspect it opens up a harder mode of play using only two characters as opposed to four in a party.  Bragging rights or something.

Love it so far. My kind of RPG game compared to SKyrim and the likes.

Don't use me as your excuse.  40 is only 5 more than 35.  And if I am shelling out 35, it might as well be 40.
