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!

Ganni1987: 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.

"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."
Thank you :-) missed that

althrian: 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.

Leroux: 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 installed).
Hmm ... the two different DVD versions of the game which are obviously existent would contradict the comment of the staff

It's probably the same that happened during the release of Tesla Effect. Steam is so important that they don't even think people want an alternative of it.

It's like TV, it's so important that some people can't event think some others people don't want it at all/anymore/whatever.

Just one question. I found the following note on the gamepage: (DLC will only be made available on release.)

Does that mean, it`s only possible to buy the DLC today?

It's removed now. Thanks :)

Could be they reacted to customer complaints on their forums; I don't know how old those comments were. But they will still be of the opinion that their game is DRM-free regardless of distribution (and rightly so, in a certain sense), so maybe they didn't think it was relevant to mention Steam when the FAQ is only about being DRM-free.

Divinity: Original Sin is available on GOG... better late than never, eh? :P

Even the DLC (which mainly consists of the soundtrack and the artbook) is regional priced???

Sorry Larian, but I will wait for a massive discount to get this game.

Could be ..

anyhow it's completely free here on GOG and that's fine with me. I don't really care about the physical edition would be nice to own it and have the possibility to resell it but if not I'll wait until a discount here.

That would be a cheap trick to irritate customers.
It would be ok if I'd be still able to resell the boxed package even if Steam is needed to install it the first time but I don't think that it will work like this.

Hecke: I have no time to read all 71 pages
A little tip if you're looking for official information: Just put ?staff=yes at the end of the adress and you get staff posts only. It reduces the thread to 3 pages ;) http://www.gog.com/forum/general/getting_back_to_our_roots/page1?staff=yes

Hecke: , 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...
There isn't mentioned anything about changing "old" gift codes for store credit. Your best chance will be to ask support. I think that's something that GOG hadn't thought about yet.

You _REALLY_ need to release these games sooner.
I cannot emphasise that enough.

If it comes out on Steam, and it's not out within a few hours/a day on GoG, I will pick up the Steam version.
And it really upsets me when shortly after buying something on Steam, it comes out on GoG without any notice.

You're losing customers and also upsetting them by not letting us know that we should wait because a game _will_ be coming.
Not to mention I'm now stuck with another game behind a DRM wall.

The 'new & coming' category seems pointless unless you actually announce coming games.
Steam's coming soon list goes months into the future. It's great for planning purchases.
GoG's.... well...

Yep, the second DVD was indeed a reaction to KS backer's feedback. And the problem originally rose out of different understanding among people of what DRM actually is.
