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!

I'm settling in for the throwdown between you and Tarnicus. Your avatars are clearly having a face-off. :)

I'd grab popcorn, but if I had some right now I'd choke it laughing!

He's so EXTREME! I can only assume that he's the envy of the entire population of his junior high school.

I'm unsure of what this advertisement is warning me about but your comment sprang to mind when I saw it.

Ajaarg: I have great conflict resolution skills: I resolve conflicts through violence. Violence, whether physical or verbal, is the final authority, from which all other authority derives. Some people are just too stupid to live, this is objectively true. These people need to be exterminated. We don't try to reason with vermin, or cancer: we eliminate them, by any means necessary.
The supremacy of violence is, on a social scale, a false homily. It can seem to superficially resolve conflicts, say by removing some or all of one side of the struggle, but it does not put the actual conflict into abeyance. Look at the centuries-long blood feuds in some nations and cultures - these wrongs are not being righted by violence, but instead perpetuated and amplified.

Violence is a seductive solution for the powerless, who feel there is no other way they can obtain redress except through the extinction of their oppressors. It is also seductive to those very oppressors, who lack the ability, intelligence, or conviction to lead through their own merits. In both cases it is not a true solution, but a self-defeating one which spawns more turmoil than it resolves.

My grandfather, a strong and charismatic man who helped build the union behind America's largest shipyard, had a saying which helped shape my life:

"He who throws the first punch has lost the argument."

EDIT: I realise a tempting rejoinder would be "He who throws the last punch has won the argument.". To that I would point out that, as far as history is concerned, the last punch is always yet to be thrown.

You can always rely on summer vacation to increase the already high amount of shitposting on the internet even higher.

This is true whether you are talking about neo-nazis, or capitalists, or console players, or apple users, or steam-apologists. No crime is inconsequential enough to escape punishment.
I'm going to be sorry I put my oar in this quagmire, but on a philosophical note - solving a problem/ conflict with violence does tend to definitively end an argument, but it does also engender the same response back. By using violence it opens the door for other people to be violent towards you and unless you're Keyser Soze, there will always be someone more powerful than you.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not a pacifist, but I favour surgical strikes rather than carpet bombing, and what you seem to be advocating is carpet bombing. :)

jimbob0i0: With most of the Steam catalogue you'd be right but in this specific instance you are wrong...
It's perfectly possible *with this game* to zip up the contents and unzip it anywhere else with no Steam installed and play...
Except that it needs the steam_api.dll file (or whatever is called) inside the D:OS folder, without it the game wont run ...

I had to share this thread at some point, with the "Steam is DRM!" argument going on:

Der Tötenbus allows us so many indulgences, thanks to its hypothetical existence. :)

Will this game run on a late 2009 Macbook? (2.2 ghz, 2gb ram, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M)

Anyone got any experiences to share?

Thanks in advance!

I highly recommend this game to anyone who loves RPG!!!

Neat! Thanks to the very generous esteem of my fellow GOGnards, which I am somewhat overwhelmed to receive.
