This is shorter than DKS?
What a disappointment. I heard it was going to be quite big.

Was that one of the KS rewards? Doesn't ring a bell.

I like the sneak animation. At least it's different! Good lord, this is a game with talking roosters, fireballs, drunks, vengeful dogs, lovesick cats, etc. So sorry everything can't be a "gritty, racially-charged and profane rape-fest"
I'm liking it a lot.
Huge kudos for Larian. I'm born and raised in the USA, and the humor works with me. Wonderful that a Belgian studio could pull that off, considering how lame or even painfully unfunny much CRPG humor tends to be. And it isn't all just "rats in the cellar, hahahaha"
there's many weird, quirky things NPCs say to you in passing that I find really creative. Gotta wonder if the Belgian version is even better for native Belgians.

Like daveyd it's not a big deal. It's not a stopper for me, of course I'll play the game (when the personalities are in) with these animations included and I will have fun.
I don't remeber DKS's scope, but Larian said that D:OS has about 60-100 of gameplay insteasd of the supposed 40 hours.

Obviously, if you don't enjoy farcical cartoon stuff in your RPG - it's because you want a rape-fest.

Yeah, that's what I thought I'd heard.
I really hope so, as I think the game has potential and I'm a sucker for huge RPGs.

The sneaking animation wasnt that bad, i guess it fits in with the rest. Reminds me of LOTR when they hide in their magical cloaks, and for some reason of Zelda (if i remember correctly there's something similar, but with a crate that you walk around in).
Way too much black and white here.
And nothing against roosters, fireballs, drunks and vengeful dogs… but lovesick cats? Really?
The humor mostly doesn't work for me, but there is an occasional funny bit. The game shines in its turn-based combat. There is nothing, at least in the demo areas, nearly as funny as the stuff that was typical of Ego Draconis. Nothing to compare to Stan and Olly, the two laundry gossips, mindreading, Dr. Needleman, etc.
@JDR, In Ego Draconis you would hit level 18 around Orojobas Falls or whatever it was called. In D: OS, the game will end around there. The max level is 20. There is much less material here, but the turn-based combat will probably balance the two games out to about the same play time. Regardless, you'll get your money's worth out of this game, it just isn't as good as the second divinity game, in my opinion. Still a decent game though.

Replacing your upper body with a huge boulder reminds you of Elven cloaks from LOTR?
Wow, ok
I'm getting worried.
No, that's a huge difference. The cloakes in LOTR are magical elven cloaks. Magic (if you accept its concept) can indeed do stuff like that, that's not immersion breaking at all.
I assume the sneaking stuff in D:OS happens without magic. If I'm wrong here… well then I need to reconsider the silliness of walking barrels.

Yes, it's the sneaking skill. Interestingly enough, there's a "Shadow Walk" skill that has a very nice invisibility effect and appropriate animation.
But I guess this is just the kind of game that doesn't want you to get immersed, and that's ok.

I just hated the dragon parts of D2.
Yes, it's silly. but so is combining a hammer and a tomato to make tomato sauce.

That's what I fear.
I mean... it's ok, appareantly many guys like it and Larian obviously never stated they'd do a "serious" game. I'm just a little disappointed. Or to be more precise: I'm a lot less hyped. I will judge after I've played it.

Well you were the one who said "The person responsible for the sneaking animation/visuals should be tortured and killed."
Rape is right up there with torture and murder!

They disguised themselves as grey boulders in the movie yes. I can still get immersed in a game like Zelda or this, just as long as things are coherent im fine with it, it would obviously break immersion in a game like PS:T..
If i could choose between a more serious tone and more humorous i prefer the former without doubt though.

Not in popular culture. Rape is a no-no, but torture and murder is a-ok
But you've got a point.
Enjoy your farce!

No, the cloaks changed color and made them blend into the rocky environment. They didn't put giant boulders on their heads with their feet sticking out.
But it's ok.
To you, it's LOTR - and to me it's a farce.
It's all good, and to each his own. I'll get past it if the game is good, but I think it's incredibly silly and it turns me off in a big way, since I always play sneaky characters.
