A true RPG design achievement!

Divinity: Original Sin, the epic-scaled RPG from Larian Studios, very modern but also true to the best traditions of computer role playing games design with its isometric view, story-driven gameplay, and top-notch turn-based combat mechanics, is available for Windows and Mac OS X, DRM-Free on GOG.com! You can also enrich your experience with the Source Hunter DLC, that comes with two unique in-game items, a digital artbook, design documents and a full original soundtrack.

[url=http://www.gog.com/game/divinity_original_sin][/url]Divinity: Original Sin is the old-school role-playing title you've been dreaming about. If you were ever imagining how the legendary classics like Baldur's Gate would look and feel like, were they developed today, this is your answer! Larian Studios managed to make good on all of their promises of classic gameplay, extensive world, gripping storyline, and flexible system paired with high production value of contemporary double-A titles. With up to a hundred hours of playtime needed to beat the game with all of its branching stories and tons of optional quests the game can prove to be everything you want it to be, and more! It also takes what's best after the modern games: rich and vivid 3D graphics, an extensive item crafting system, and a finely balanced multi-player mode. A perfect mix of classic and new RPG design, if we ever saw one.

Set out to explore the fantastic colorful realm created by Larian Studios, and make a new home for yourself in the vibrant world of Divinity: Original Sin (or even grab some extra Source Hunter DLC gear), on GOG.com. The price of the game varies from region to region, but don't be alarmed! Following the GOG.com tradition we're offering a Fair Price Package with this title, so everyone who is adversely affected by the pricing plan will be compensated with gift-codes (you will find yours in your order confirmation email).

NOTE:
The version of the game offered here comes with the full single-player campaign, but currently supports only LAN/DirectIP multiplayer modes, with on-line multiplayer features coming as a later update, powered by GOG Galaxy, our DRM-Free online gaming platform. Thank you for your patience!

Probably has been asked before:
The US Price is: $39,99
Ger Price is: €39,99
Where can I see the fair price difference? I tried to put it in my shopping card, but still no info. This seems rather troublesome since a lawfully buyer without access to an US Proxy wouldn't even know his been rickrolled by RP.
Surely I'm just missing something here, right?
FYI: Of course I didn't bought the game with a US proxy - in fact I didn't buy it at all ;)! I consider this unfair behaviour towards GoG and there attempt to dampen RP in there shop. I just looked up the US price on the Gamepage ;)

robertgg: Please correct me if I am wrong.
But does this game have day 1 dlc ?
It has extras that the backers got, made available for everyone as a DLC.

JudasIscariot: I suppose? I didn't see you mention the "Good News" post :) Then again, it's hot and muggy here as well so my brain might be working the wrong way :)
XD - I can always go back and edit it in if it's makes you happy. ;-P

tarasis: You too should come to near Hamburg. Its hot, muggy and pissing it down with rain. (never mind thunder and lightning). Horrible afternoon.
A thunderstorm is not out of the question, still early enough to get one of those as has happened multiple times during June. :-)

Out of curiosity, how hot is it in Hamburg?

That DLC is a upgrade for the CE version, nothing more

I'd probably pick this up, but I haven't gotten around to playing the other Divinity games. Still, looks interesting and fun.

Wishlisted for now.

Okay, so the game is supposedly an easy entry point into the Divinity franchise. At least, that is what it says on the game card. How does the game handle compared to other RPGs on GOG? I'm thinking about adding it to my wishlist for now.

JudasIscariot: Actually, D: OS was announced as one of our first three RP'ed games during that ummm rather infamous "Good news" post...>.>

synfresh: Just a bit of advice, that kind of stuff needs to be front and center on the main page up until launch, not buried in a forum post that the average user isn't going to read anyway. This goes to another question, how come you don't allow preorders for anything other than Witcher?

If the average consumer is going to gog.com and doesn't see D:OS for sale (or even preorder and a message on when it will be released), they'll go to where they can buy it (read: Steam).
That topic was visible in the news list for a good time and the answer topic later too

And regarding pre-orders, other games had pre-orders too, one is visible in the recent news (Gods will be Watching)

Yes, the regional price sucks.
Yes, the weird rescheduling of the release sucks.
Yes, GOG needs to work on their announcement for future releases of new games.

BUT.

And this is a big "but".

This is Divinity: Original Sin, and this is GOG. I don't care if I'm accused of licking boots or whatnot, but I believe that when you choose to support someone, you don't bail out when things go pear-shaped. Larian is a great development team, with a lot of humour and heart and talent, but most of all, with a lot of respect for gamers, customers and gamers as customers. And GOG has my full support and esteem for fighting the DRM-free fight in an industry that treats paying customers like thieves, and for keeping Good Old Gaming alive and kicking.

For both those companies, for whom we actually matter, I'm more than willing to wait longer and to pay extra in this instance. Things don't always go according to plan, and plans aren't always well received. Sometimes, we experiment and things blow up. Shit happens, to all of us.

So, even though this release was glitchy in many ways, I'm insta-buying. Because one wrong doesn't cancel out all the many, many rights of both Larian and GOG.

PS: Just don't make a habit out of it, both of you. ;)

That's the point, it shouldn't be in a topic, there should be the D:OS graphic banner with the date in the banner. Take to the level of the average web user, not the average gog user.

Regarding pre-orders, you are correct there but it seems to be few and far between with titles?

Nice release, although I'll have to play through the classic Divinity games first. (And I'm not exactly sure if my computer can run this one :/ )

Was "Divinity: Original Sin" in the title of the news? The average customer landing on the site needs to see that.

As D:OS takes place before the other games chronologically, I don't think you'll screw yourself playing this one first. As for your computer, you may be surprised... I'm running it on high specs, but my wife's computer is several years older than mine, and she's running it on low specs quite smoothly. It seems like it'll run quite well on a wide range of systems. Worth looking into before losing hope, at least. :)

Well, here's my machine:

Dunno, it MIGHT work... :P (Problem is, I might want a native Linux version as I'm a 100% Linux user now, so I'll want to wait on this anyways)
