Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition - Before & After Changes

I think he's referring to the fact that the EE has rewritten large portions of the story to make it better.
Oh man, does this game have a NG+ mode or something? Wasteland 2 allows us to import our rangers into a new playthrough. Would be awesome to do the same on a different difficulty.

Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition |OT| Beyond Original
Considering all the criticism over the whimsical nature of Divinity: Original Sin's writing and setting, I'm super curious to see how the EE changes things. I'd be sad if they dropped it entirely, but it seems unlikely... Larian knows how to make their games. It enables so much.
Does anyone know if they're changing/adding music for DOSEE?

I'm still wondering who Larian will use considering Krill isn't around anymore. Which is a damn shame.

Yeah, that's the root of my question. Without Kirill I just can't imagine it.
Such a talented dude.
When the game came out my PC wasn't really able to handle anything so instead I just kept listening to the soundtrack.
Love the music.
I'd think it would be obvious.

btw...did they talk about updated system reqs with all these enhancements? My PC is like 7 years old at this point and I don't want to rebuild just yet.

I think they dropped the support for DX9, that's why you will still have the vanilla edition in your Steam/GOG account.

Swen mentioned that the engine enhancements will make it run better, actually. For instance, it's multithreaded now.
If there's any problems, the original will still be in your Steam library.

For all of you console owners amped for this don't forget Wastleland 2. It might be a little more hardcore/challenging than Original Sin, but it's good too.
That game looks ugly and I don't like the setting. I probably won't play it unless it has a really good story.

I remember the version where that cheese vendor and all the vendors just shouted constantly even while you're in dialogue. Thank god they fixed that.
The battle system is more inventive and interesting, especially in terms of environmental interaction, but since it's turn-based it can get bogged down a bit in some of the larger battles. Setting, characters and story are all significantly more interesting in PoE, though I also enjoyed Divinity's more humorous writing. Co-op in Divinity is fantastic and obviously has no match in PoE.

I think it looks ok, and it's got a nice image quality. It's got really great writing and quest scenarios though. Probably the best consequence sequence in any open world game.
I meant the art. I'll probably play it then but that's despite how unappealing it looks. If Divinity goes well, I could probably convince my brother to play it with me. It does have local co-op, yes?

In light of the new Inquisitor class; No one expected the Rivellonian Inquisition.

Question. Quicksave, yes or no on consoles?
You can save all the time, if you mean that (options, save, play on). And you can choose how many autosaveslots you want.

never played DOS, so excited to pickup the EE 
Let's face it: It's this.

But how long does it take it to save the game?
Supported.
It takes a few seconds (5-10). You can play while it saves. But it's not the good old press a button and leave the game after a second quicksave.
Well, it's -Options, save, choose place to save, confirm, wait-. So not really quick bit everywhere.

Well okay. Damn. I stuck in Pillars of Eternity right now and I need a few days to finish it. I could buy Divinity then, but then a few days later Fallout 4 is out. The struggle is real.
Also, 60 is a bit much for me.
Local as in mom and pop?
Same here... Last few missions in MGSV and Dqheroes, New game and dlc in Witcher 3( I really want to finish it this time) and I ordered Fallout because it was cheap a few days ago.
Don't be an Idiot like me and wait. Divinity is well done and a fine Port so far, but it won't get bad.
If you really want it now, conrad sells it for 47 (shipping costs are high, but there are always Codes for the site).

Also, combat system is fun as hell?

Yep, the silly light-hearted nature of the game is completely fine but compared to Divinity 2 or Dragon Commander it was quite lacking. There is absolutely no need to turn this game in yet another grimdark RPG.

Think I'm going to get this for PC. Debating whether to start on Tactician mode or not. How's the regular difficulty?
For as close a comparison as I can think of, I've beaten Dragon Age Origins and Inquisition on Nightmare, going in blind.

I started the game on hard difficulty myself. So going on hard difficulty is definitely doable. Really hard to judge what tactician mode brings to the table, but I am guessing going on classic mode and hard difficulty is probably what you want to do as a new player. Encounters get pretty difficult pretty fast tbh, especially when they start using control spells on you. So tactician adding a minion or two in specific encounters might make it too hard, but who knows.
It's difficult enough. I found that if there was much of a level gap then I basically had no chance. Pro tip, don't leave the first town until you've gotten a couple of levels through questing just in the town or you'll really struggle.
The combat is totally different to Dragon Age.
It's an amazing game anyway, enjoy.
