lol, no, at $5 the max you can get is gratitudes from devs, some forum badge, your name somewhere no one could find, desktop wallpaper etc. For this game, my guess is game rewards would start at $20/25 .

Im somewhat dissapointed with this title.
In my opinion, OS1 was vastly superior to this. Few complaints I have
- The soundtrack, its not even close to what OS1 had. Sadly Kiril Pokrovsky dieded RIP
- The combat system is just a slower, the physical damage and magic damage shields wasnt needed at all. Now for status effects, you need to slow poke the enemies until their shields are gone, then you can stun, zap, burn your enemies. Moreover, Physical and Magical are now separate, so it now makes sense to target some enemies with Magical damage and some with Physical, otherwise you would just have to burn through both shields.
- There is no proper town for buying and selling of loot, Its more like a nomadic adventure where you move around and complete quests. This is very dissapointing for me because Cysael from the first game was so memorable and lighthearted.
- MASSIVE SPOILER
Halfway through the game, 2 of your companions die, there is no way to prevent this and u can only choose which 2 companions die. This is a massive kick in the nuts because all their personal storyline quests and such just immediately fail.
Moreover, since the right way to play this game is by choosing an origin story, it lacks the uniqueness and player personality of the first game. Also i loved the arguments the two PCs had in the first game and it was resolved through a stone paper scissor system, which in itself wasnt perfect but unique.
For now Ive quit playing the game. the game itself is very good, just not a worthy successor to OS1
Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition patch is out.
Hello!
You have probably noticed a big update that came to Divinity: Original Sin 2. The big update is the Definitive Edition that was added.
People that have bought Original Sin 2 when it came out, get this for free. It is an optimized, revised, rebalanced version of the game, with a couple of new features, overhauled Arena mode, better UI, better journal, rewritten dialogues, and much more.
If you would like to know what exactly "much more" is, we have tried to document it here, in over 50 pages: *docs.google.com/document/d/1IcADAJsLeHHXYjCnR5MwCm9GTWRdKzRtIYcCqO_RI6U/edit
I was playing this, and I encountered a quest where you get teleported to a dimension inside a ruby crystal.. In that place, there's a big machine that controls time and initially its set to slow. Because of that, all characters have a permanent slowed debuff...
When I finally reached the control and set it to hasted.. all my characters were sped up like a cartoon lol .... to my surprise. the game music itself changed to a slightly faster version of what was playing.. and IT SOUNDED JUST AS PERFECT.. lol this game is insane.
Listen to this with 1x speed and 1.25x speed, this is one of the most innovative world building ive ever seen in a game..
After spending 70+ hours into this, this game is hands down one of the best RPGs in the decade, rivalling the likes of Witcher 3 and Dragon Age Origins
One more thing I'd like to point out, G(free-sync) sync doesnt seem to work with this properly. Some times it works, sometimes there is very wierd flickering like frame going back and forth 1-2 frames..
I just turn it and vsync off and deal with tearing
Guy who made awesome soundtrack for OS 1
