Sorry if this has already been discussed, but the basic AI options sound pretty interesting.

Seems that "No AI" is for when you want to handle all the decision options, "Loyal" is for when you want to focus on just one character and let the others toe the line, and "Random" is if you like, well, random behaviour from the others.

I think I'll start with "No AI" and see if the amount of decision making overwhelms me.

Apparently this range is being expanded in the updates, if I've read some of the posts here correctly.

My power was out for two days, otherwise I would have posted/congratulated GOG sooner. Cheers on the release! Hopefully Galaxy finally brings some other highly-desired games we aren't expecting!

Hi, is there a setting to change the combat speed?

Maybe he got a lifetime achievement for best scriptwriter :)

What about a limited run of a Digital Artwork (Canvas) from a famous Painter then?
Kinda sounds unfair to me that my grandchildren cant choose to sell the painting i bougth, just because its digital.
I Dont really think one shoud limit the market even if its digital unless its a pirate copy.
Kinda defeats the purpose of a free market, though i agree there are some issues with selling digital stuff that hasnt been solved yet, piracy as i mentioned being one of them.

Annyway i see the sales of used digital games as an idea wiich is not implemented yet
and to quote somone.

Beneath this mask, there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask, there is an idea, Mr Creedy. And ideas are bulletproof!

A shame. Would have loved to purchase Original sin here.
But since there was no clear information on exactly when would it be released here and how much it would cost, decided to instead took advantage of the sell on Steam. Pretty sure others made the same decision.

Honestly think the whole situation should have been more transparent and handled better.
Oh well.

There will be 5 or 6 new AIs released in the next major content update, as per this interview with Larian on PC Gamer

Given the amount of posts on this thread, I figured a 3rd linking of it would be of interest to some :)

Sounds great! They seem to have put a lot of thought into making this one stand out. Glad I grabbed it, will probably play it once it's patch up with all the candy. In the middle of the Witcher at the moment. :)

IMO, that depends on if it's a digital sale or physical boxed sale. If we're talking digital only, I don't see a huge difference between using Steam in this way and logging in to gog.com, although having to not just login and download but also install it first through Steam before being able to copy it is still a big factor that could cause problems that you don't get with gog.com installers. Also, I just don't like Steam being installed on my system but I could live with using an older computer I own as a download PC with Steam installed if I was 100% certain that a game I get from Steam is able to be copied and moved to a different computer afterwards.

However, if we're talking about physical boxed games, the requirement for Steam is a big deal even if it is only used as an activation (which is DRM). It still kills most of the reasons why people would like to get a boxed game. Having an offline local copy that can be installed and played at any time, for example. Being able to resell it or loan it. Not having to download the game, etc.

The last reason may not completely apply since D: OS boxed version has game files on the disc instead of just a Steam key but the reason Larian gave for wanting to require Steam on that version was so that auto-patching could be forced on the game, particularly a day 1 patch since the game was not quite finished when it was released. Many games on Steam have to pretty much be completely downloaded from Steam if they are ever reinstalled even if there are files on the installation disc because of the amount of auto-patching, making the installation disc pointless.

Anyway, in my experience, nearly everyone who quit buying boxed games did so either to buy digital games to save space or because DRM (and Steam) made their purchases pointless. The latter people quit buying boxed games entirely or only buy them after a massive reduction in price, reflecting the value they put on a boxed game with DRM on it. The first group of people will not be pledging for a big boxed game anyway, so I never understand why devs insist on putting the reason why the latter group groans about the state of boxed games these days, on their boxed game.

Personally, I have quit pledging to Kickstarter games because of issues like this. This game looks damn good though. I don't pay more than $20 for a digital game, and then only that much for a game that I really want to play "right now!" I would spend $40 for a basic boxed game, but with so many uncertainties and differences of opinion on the subject, I guess I'll have to wait for the price to drop unless there's some kind of confirmation about the non-Steam discs being for sale sometime soon.

This has little to do with Steam, but rather that in this digital age devs consider it normal to have a day 1 patch and post release patching. Sure, Steam having the auto-updating system has helped this a long, but with the digital age this was going to happen with or without it. Even console games are starting to get patches after release these days.

For that i blame Larian. In no way shape or form should they have released an *unfinished* game. And in no way shape or form should ANY game require a day 1 patch. Whats the world coming to ...sheesh
It does if it let dev's be lazy and no bother to even finish the game (let along debug it before release.There should be no reason for a patch day 1.Game should be finished before release and even if a patch is required it should come until much later.

What does?

It does have to do with Steam if... sorry i should have been more to the point

Ow sure. In the same way that Steam is to blame for allowing Regional Prices, the same way GOG is to blame for the same now, and of course, in the same way GOG will be enabling easy patching soon when Galaxy comes out.

Of course it's not like games didn't have launchers for auto-patching even without Steam/GOG already, but yes, in part you can blame the Digital retailers for enabling it.

Personally, though, as I've highlighted with the console example already, I consider it a natural result from going into the digital age, this was going to happen, regardless of what Steam or GOG did.
