Board 8 > Alright, so Divinity 3 : Original Sin looks pretty damn great.

(+) Yeah! (+)

http://www.jeuxvideo.com/articles/0001/00017078-divinity-original-sin-preview.htm

There are only French previews so far but here's what I've got from it, in bullet points.

-Turn-Based (Think original Fallout), hexagon shaped tiles, still fast paced
-Stats ala hack'n'slash, strength, intelligence, vitality and dexterity, many equipment slots.
-2 main characters, a man who's an ex-prisoner and a girl who has been freshly resurrected
-Can be played solo or in co-op
-Can interact with a lot of objects, using buckets as armor, brooms as weapons etc.
-Can use spells to affect the environment, ice magic to freeze water, lightning on wet opponents to boost damage etc, kinda like Magicka in that regard.
-Both characters have a role during conversation, even in co-op both players will pick choices so there's no '' leader '' making all the choices while the other players simply watch.
-One character can talk to an NPC while the other character sneaks behind to steal something or access a restricted area
-Dialogues are of the same quality as other Divinity's game, so humorous and witty.
-Open-ended
-No level-scalling so while you can go anywhere you might still get ****ed badly if you're not strong enough
-No classes, you pick the skills you want to customize the characters as you see fit.

Looks promising I say!

From what I see it's PC only? :( this sounds like something I'd love to play with my brother.

That does indeed seem interesting. I'll have to keep my eye on it.

Oh, PC only? Consider me significantly less excited.

Like something I can't play =(.

SuperNiceDog won the Guru contest. Good job.

I doubt it'll be THAT resource heavy, those games never are.

I've got an Intel integrated graphics card, there are games from ~2004 I can't run (Bloodlines, Invisible War), plus other non-resource heavy indie games I've tried (Super Meat Boy, Trine, Penumbra). I generally assume if it isn't already out, I can't play it.

Upgrading would probably be really cheap tbh.

Unless you have a laptop!
