He was talking about the base price remaining the same.

Amazing. Faith in humanity restored.
Because it's not full price in the first place. Unless if you're on console, perhaps.
Though I believe they should've given at least a 50% for this D:OS 2 launch week.

Bought mine on GOG even though steam would have been way more convenient. Just trying to support a seemingly more open platform and give Valve a bit of competition.
But all in all really happy for Larian and game has been fantastic so far.

Yeah, discount on D:OS 1, a small discount to D:OS2 for owners of D:OS1, and D:OS 1&2 pack at a small discount. These options would have been good options to push more folks to buy.
That said, 85K is outstanding. I wouldn't be too surprised at this point to see this break 500K mid next week. At full price that is a really good debut for an isometric, turn-based, PC only CRPG that is actually quite challenging. Then again, people do love Dark Souls
.I promise I will! Just need to get my friend to finish the first one with me first.
18 hours in, this game is amazing so far. The feeling of discovery in this game is great, and the sidequests reward you properly. It feels like there's always something new to find.
I highly recommend it if you like RPGs. It's tough at first, just make sure you're buying new skills.

CRPGs are my favourite genre and I'm absolutely gobsmacked at how many are coming out recently.
I remember that for years the only one available to play that I had access to had been neverwinter nights 2.
Also really happy for the developers! I loved Divinty 2 (jankiness included) and dragon commander.

nm, can't read
Also played about 12 hours but this might be my Game of the Year too. It's completely sucked me in, I love the world, characters, black humour and overall story so far. The depth is absurd and I can already see myself having a blast playing a second time through with a friend.
Just read the books and npcs dialog, their stories are better than the story of Divinity 1, lol

Now these are truly excellent numbers. It warms my heart to see an old-school cRPG become such a success. I've been supporting Larian and the Divinity series since the beginning and boy has it paid off!

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
I'm really happy for Larian
D:OS 2 is amazing.

Cool, we bought two copies. Got about a dozen hours in so far, having a lot of fun playing co-op with my wife. We experimented a bit with classes early in but have settled on her playing a cleric and a battlemage and me playing a tank and a 2hander. Very similar to what we played in D1.
We're murdering ALL the Magisters now and exploring a bit out of town, finally getting some decent gear. We definitely had some tough fights early on, may have bit off a bit too much at the time

I'm so glad these game are very successful for Larian. They are the perfect direction for this type of top down RPG. Constant refinement of their tools and tech can only lead to greater things. I hope they continue to just keep iterating and don't try other licenses(though their own is so successful I don't know why they would). I'll back another in a heartbeat.

Glad to see they are doing well. I still need to get to the first which is in my backlog.

70k concurrent on Monday. That's super impressive for a weekday.

Surprisingly the first game sold better then PoE as well. Anyway, good to see sales climbing up. I can see the game hitting 500K by the weeks end which would be pretty great.
Would love to hear from Larian on how the sales are doing from their perspective.
Original Sin was better than PoE, and had the advantage of not being directly compared to Baldurs Gate 2. So WOM built quick, and it had way fewer dissenting voices.

They already put out a statement when they announced 500k sales on Sunday. Said the it was good that they were selling so far beyond their expectations but the bad side was that they weren't ready for that load on their servers.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Good stuff. I hope Pillars 2 has good sales as well. As long as interest/sales remain high we should keep seeing these kinds of games getting made. I really don't want the CRPG renaissance to only last a few years.

Bought it on GOG, so I contributed to the sales figures there.
But so far, 4-5h into, I feel like it's kinda dull. I love that there's many different ways to solve the quests, but the story and the characters doesn't do that much for me. And I wish that not every single battle would errupt in everyone setting the whole scene on fire.
