Divinity: Original Shill 2

[IcePacks]

the follow-up to 2014's hit munchkin simulator is now available on steam early access if you're into that whole "pay a bunch of money for a game before it comes out like a retard" thing, which i totally am.

features: forceful co-op, antagonistic co-op, bickering among friends

Fun, been looking forward to this.

You can electrify blood!

This ended up terribly when I did so at point blank range, resulting in me and the very first enemy getting stunlocked for an eternity, while his other friend bit me to death.

[IcePacks]

you've been able to electrify blood since the first game

blood is pretty much the worst

[Timbrewolf]

I see it has co-op but the early access bit has me a bit worried. Not that they wont deliver but I don't know how stable or functioning that element of the game would be.
Any of you try it yet?

Not if one of your guys had the leech trait. Then it was your best friend.

As much as I hate liggers, these ones look like shit compared to the ones in Dragon Commander. Then again nothing can match the characters from Dragon Commander.

Isnt Dragon Commander the gsme where you can fuck a skeleton?

yes

gameplay-wise there's a few odd ends that need to be fixed (at one point an enemy ranger literally hopped up onto the borders of a map, nearly breaking the encounter), but it's still extremely solid and fun to play

>playing co-op with my shitty friend
>at first we fail to work as a team; he didn't get far in original sin at all so he has no idea what the fuck he's doing and keeps fucking up our characters
>we bicker back and forth, have to load a few quicksaves which make things worse since he's host and he isn't quicksaving unless i expressly tell him to
>tough encounter
>at first things look bad
>suddenly something clicks
>we work together
>clutch level-up after a skillful execution levels the entire party
>we're communicating
>i'm our rogue
>prepare to deliver the killing blow to the final enemy next turn
>"actually, i'm going to blow you up."
>get blown the fuck up, like twice as exploded as the next possible explosion victim

Story-wise the game is largely incomplete. There's the skeleton of a narriative so you have some semblance of a clue as to what's going on, some npcs will react to your followers/you (you can chose to start the game playing as one of the potential playable followers), but it seems that all of the player dialogue is placeholders (i.e. "*ask the magic-nazi to have a more defined motive*").

One thing I'd like to point out, all players go through character creation in a multiplayer session, and all players present to a trigger participate in group dialogues.

The game's about 30% or so complete, but it's still extremely good. I'm looking forward to the finished project in December.

Actually you did a ritual to make the skeleton princess living again. Kind of a BONus.

Because it's cool. Better than the zombie trait which doesn't even make sense.

Been probing the starting area I quite like it.

Don't start as prince lizard as a mage though he's your early source of knockdown that makes any of your mage or archer shit work.
