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!

htown1980: This game looks wonderful but I think it won't work on my rig... :(
Whats your rig then? I can run it at 8-10FPS on lowest detail settings on a 2.53GHz C2D 13" MacBook Pro, 1280x800, Nvidia 9400m 256mb, Win 7 64 Bit, 8GB Ram, SSD drive.

If you have anything above that then its more than playable, and even on lowest detail levels it looks nice.

Hecke: Why are you just giving us gift codes for regional prices we can only use to directly add buy games within the price range of said gift code?
I got 2 codes from The Witcher 3, but i cannot use them because there is just no game <$5,99 I'd want to buy.
On the other side I would use those codes to get discount on a more expensive title and pay the rest the normal way.

I think I'm not the only one finding this annoying...
Nope, you're not. I would go this far to give those two ~6$ codes for one 9,99$ game if it would be possible.

fronzelneekburm: Gotta say, a dev/publisher insisting on regional pricing for a Kickstarted game really is exceptionally lame. Did they bother to to give an explanation via Kickstarter as to why they made that particular decision?

EDIT: Holy shit, Day 1 DLC for $10, like seriously?
That´s a soundtrack- and "making fun of DLCs"-DLC---look at things included:
"an in-game item called The Golden Grail (which can turn items into gold) and an in-game item "Zandalor's Trunks", magical underwear that comments on whatever is going on."
NOBODY can call this a normal, shitty DLC---this is just good humor!

We will adamantly continue to fight for games with flat worldwide pricing. If that fails and we are required to have regional prices, we will make up the difference for you out of our own pockets. For now it will be with $5.99 and $9.99 game codes. In a couple of months, once we have such functionality implemented, we will give you store credit instead, which then you will be able to use towards any purchase and cover the price of it in full or partially.

Same here, I'd gladly give my two The Witcher 3 codes for a 9,99 one. When I preordered The Witcher 3 I thought I was going to use them to get the Samaritan Paradox but it was over 5.99 so couldn't, and now that is under that price due the sale I can't either, which is quite unfair. It would be very nice if we could at least use the code to discount some money from more expensive games like Divinity: Original Sin

althrian: Hmm, would be worth an email to Larian Studios to know this ... I thought about buying a physical copy but if steam is really needed to install it, I'll wait until it's a bit cheaper on gog.com
At least the boxed versions sold on amazon.de clearly state that a Steam account is required. No idea if you could order a different version directly from Larian.

On their webshop (https://www.larianvault.com/product.php?item=43 - scroll down the whole page) it doesn't say anything about Steam in the requirements.
Nevertheless I've written an email to the support asking about it. I'll send the answer as soon as I get it.

Wurzelkraft: So how do I add the game + DLC to my cart? When I click "add to cart" on the game page it will go to checkout immediately.
If you wish list them and go to the cart you can add them both.

I think I've read some comments from puzzled Larian staff that showed that they don't understand at all why some people would have a problem with the game being delivered through Steam if the game itself is DRM-free and does not require Steam to run (once it's downloaded and installed).

Anyone else getting "invalid code" error when redeeming the Fair Price package codes? I click the redeem button but says invalid code on the site, even tried to enter it manually.

Okay, thank you!
I have no time to read all 71 pages, but is it mentioned if I can trade in my gift codes if this functionality is available? Otherwise there is no reason to save them...

"We have investigated the Fair Price Package code issue. All codes should work properly within the hour. We're sorry about the issue, and hope it didn't cause a big inconvenience for you guys."
