Yeah, that's what I'm down for. I would recommend getting Divine Divinity and Divinity 2: Developer's Cut at your earliest convenience though. They're pretty fantastic and will give you a taste of what you're in for so far as writing style, humour and their willingness to just straight up gently caress with genre conventions. Divinity 2 was awesome.

It's only going slowly if you use Torment or Project Eternity as comparison models; which you absolutely should not. Chillax, it's going along just wonderfully. In any other world, 300k of 400k from internet strangers to a small dev house is a fantastic amount in 8 - 10 days. edit: I thought it would be the opposite for you; a Sgt Pederast sounds like someone who would absolutely prefer something to mature slowly.

EDIT: There is a thread especially for Original Sin and the Kickstarter. I was browsing through some Larian videos, and I found one on Dragon Commander from E3 2012. Ignore the actual gameplay parts, the RTS mode has been completely changed. The interesting stuff is in the post-demo interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBGtRTjIT6Y&t=743s Stabbey_the_Clown fucked around with this message at 03:27 on Apr 7, 2013 |

An important reminder:Larian posted:
EDIT: I also asked Swen about the Dragon Commander Board game. In an earlier post he mentioned they were floating the idea of going a Kickstarter to fund the board game edition. I had some concerns about that and asked him again: LarianStudios posted:@Stabbey: We're slowly giving up on the idea due to lack of time - quite sad about it though. But I'm interested in your 100 words or so Instead of trying to do a Kickstarter for that next month, they'll hold off on the idea. If the Collectors Edition with the board game comes out, it'll probably be part of something like a GotY edition with a bunch of new content added.

Wow, if you favour one faction enough, you can enter into a faction arc. Each faction arc has a "golden goal", a "silver goal", a "bronze goal", and a "they hate your guts" goal. The farther into a faction arc you go, the worse your relations for other factions get.

Ha ha there's a "Genocide population" card you can play. (Reduce population to 35%) There are multiple map sizes. Some have only 30 countries, but there can be maps with up to 105 countries on them. Stabbey_the_Clown fucked around with this message at 15:40 on Apr 10, 2013 |

I don't want to see 50 spanish knights defeating 2700 peasants with 0 losses and having killed 2480 of those 2700 peasants. This game seems very ambitious, would be cool if they delivered on it though!

Thank you havenwaters and Stabbey for the updates! So Dragon commander is a continuation of Divinity II? I really need to finish that game since I lost interest in it during the section where you are playing as the dragon and going around destroying towers...

As far as gameplay goes, is there an option to pause the combat to regain your bearings and decide what to do next? I suppose I'm curious if it is RTS-with-pause. Because it's very easy for me to get over my head with poo poo just constantly happening if I have to manage more than a person or two at a time.

I have to say though I loved the level of detail and the realpolitik flavour of the decisions the actual gameplay looked pretty bad. The units moved too slow but at the same time there was so much going on it could easily get out of hand. It will no doubt be shined up a bit more and maybe if you're actually playing it it'd feel better I don't know. Just wasn't a huge fan of what I could see.

Divinity: Original Sin Kickstarter - Update #12 Want to get Dragon Commander? Why not support Divinity: Original Sin at the same time (and get that game cheaper as well!) quote:Dragon Commander available as add-on Zore posted:Er, wouldn't tacking the addon to the $25 dollar tier get you less than the $65 tier which gets you two copies of Divinity: Original Sin and the soundtrack + extras? Larian contractually can't sell it any less than $40. But yes, the $65 tier is great value! Larian posted:We have agreements in place for the price on Dragon Commander with various distributors and we cannot undercut them. We also think it's good value for money. The 65$ limited tier really was an exception. Stabbey_the_Clown fucked around with this message at 19:28 on Apr 11, 2013 |

That seems a bit poorly thought out. I guess if you're dropping money for a much higher tier it could make sense, but that is really steep for an addon. The $65 dollar tier seems like an okayish deal though.

The release date will be July 2. System requirements has been announced:quote:Minimum system requirements: Here's some answers about auto-resolve and survival rate. Auto-resolve: Forktong posted:The auto resolve in DC takes into account how much dmg your units do, how much hp they have, what upgrades they have... I don't know the details, but it's not "4 units win against 3 units yay". The map game should be fun in itself, cause it's based on a boardgame we made first, cards and countries and units and all. Survival Rate: Greever posted:The current system (anything is open to change if it turns out too many ways to exploit it are found in beta): Any mercenary cards you bring in do not count for your survival rate, they only last for one battle.

I should have done this earlier, but since Larian is probably going to start updating the Dragon Commander website on Monday, now's a good time. Dragon Commander: Meet the People  Yorick - Advisor, Undead Race The ambassador of the undead, Yorrick is the man ('Hardly a man!', scoffs the dwarf) who safeguards the interests of his skeletal fellows aboard the Raven. Like all undead he is deeply religious, so as long as your decisions don't sin against the commandments of the Seven Gods, you should find Yorrick to be a congenial councillor, albeit a bit tiresome in his rather effusive piety. Lohanna - Princess, Elf Race Raised at the court of the elf king, princess Lohannah has always lived a sheltered life in strict accordance with the elf ways of old. Now she finds herself aboard the Raven amid the representatives and traditions of many other cultures and it will be up to you to try and make sure she doesn't abandon her own customs - like the elves will want you to - or to encourage her to become a more urbane person, and risk the ire of her kin. Henry - General (Human) Henry is a man of action; a general as loyal as he is brazen. Battle may have lost him an arm and an eye, but that has not diminished his lust for combat. You won't find another officer who doesn't admire Henry's military talents, but you probably won't find anyone who calls him a friend either. Arrogant and prone to fly solo, he is not what you would call the social type. If you do want to sit down for a chat with this old warhorse though, bring a bottle. He may not like you, but he'll like the moonshine. (I also added some more points from the Twitch TV stream to the list above:
