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!

Tarnicus: [...]

When I release my novel on synchronicity, I apologise that the story is unfinished but I'll post you out the remaining pages, 1 or 2 at a time until years later it is completed. Of course I will demand full payment upfront, and if something happens that prevents me from completing it, then my disclaimer says that I am not liable :P

PS - I will also be sending each novel with the book bound with a combination lock that changes every time you wish to read the novel. You'll have to telephone me to get the code that unlocks it each time. Sorry but I can't have unauthorised readers who haven't paid for my novel reading it! It will also come equipped with an inbuilt webcam so I can ensure that no-one is reading over your shoulder. THEY SHOULD BUY THEIR OWN COPY!
Where can I pre-order your novel? This is a too good of a deal to pass up. ;-P


EDIT: And I just noticed that deonast is as anxious to get his hands on your novel as I am. ;-)

JudasIscariot: We're waiting for the next patch, actually, since 1.0.63 still has some problems :)

IanM: Have GOG management ever considered a policy of either refusing to sell games that are broken at launch, or even just highlighting on the purchase page that there are problems that need to be addressed in forthcoming patches?

Of course I can see that it would make life much more difficult with publishers, and D:OS is obviously in a far better state than something like that Sims disgrace perpetrated by EA. Is there a line? how unfinished can a game be before it's unsellable?
Well, we did pull one game (Dark Matter) because of the ending issue, but as far as anything else goes, I am not privy to what happens in the upper echelons of GOG, so I have no definite answer for that question, sorry :/

Fair enough, thanks for replying with something at least.

Although I'm disappointed to see the current issues it's not specific to D:OS, other publishers do worse. I just started wondering if as GOG tries harder to embrace new games there could be some kind of compromise, a more ethical way of selling new releases that need to be patched in order to get the full playing experience.

To be fair, Ian, in this case we had to pry the game out of GOG's hands more or less by brute force in the first place, so we got what we asked for, in the state it is right now, bugs and all. ;)

There is a persistent save game issue and some crash issues at certain locations.

I did try to make the point more general that this game. The special case of D:OS I can understand backers especially being irked that Steam had the game while those preferring GOG were treated as 2nd class. Nevertheless, save and progression bugs in a final retail release just should not be happening, it shouldn't've been released on any store like this.

The one on 32bit OS that manually increasing the available RAM appears to solve?

I don't know, I am just reporting from the little that I've read/heard on this issue :)

What specifically, Mr Judas, is the issue being had with save games? Should I be backing my save file up in between play sessions?

Here you go:

I guess it's a "save then crash somewhere after saving issue". Again, I don't know what the exact issue is and what causes it.
