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!

HypersomniacLive: 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?

tarasis: Its supposed to be about 26 outside. It reminds me of Florida in terms of its hot but raining at the same time.
Thanks for the rain.....since it's raining here now ....

Now THAT is a fucking trailer. Especially I like that they don't show movies, just the game.

There isn't much movies in there. =)

Pica-Ludica: 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. ;)
Well said! I second that opinion!

It's Europe, one good big thunderstorm can cover an entire country at once...
high rated
Had to do it, commitment to supporting GOG too strong. Game and DLC bought.

HiPhish: This is a great example of the price-problem in download-only games. I don't know if Divinity: Original Sin (or any other game for that matter) is actually good or if I'll like it. Maybe it has been overrated, maybe reviewers are unprofessional or biased (happens all the time), maybe the people who kickstarted it are in denial of its flaws, or maybe it just isn't my type of game. I don't know, there is no demo to try out.

If this were a physical game I would have less problems dropping 40€/$ on it. If it's good it has been worth its money, and if I don't like it I can still sell it and make some of the money back. However, with a physical download I'm stuck with the game forever. If it's a less than 5$ game on a sale it's not that bad, that's the kind of loss i would have had to deal with anyway if I were selling a used game.

With download game I'm not willing to gamble on 40€/$. Even an insane 75% off deal would still be at 10€$, which is still too much to gamble. There is a physical retail version of this game, but like all games of course it requires Steam, making the physical copy a waste of everyone's time, space and money. I have the money, I'm willing to pay it, but I'm not willing to gamble.

inc09nito: I remember when there used to be a lot of talk on how digital distribution would be cheaper than retail boxes.
Here, for me Original Sin price is 47 Euro (37 + 10) which is WAAAAY more expansive than ANY retail game I've ever seen in a traditional store here in Poland (except maybe for Collector's Editions).
Heh... I remember that talk too. Didn't belive it back then either. :-)

These days devs and publishers even have the brick and mortar stores to blame for the high prices.

Well, I'm just waiting for a sale. It looks like a game that I could like and for 10 bucks I'm willing to give it a shot. It's just a matter of time...
