Beta V1.0.80 An update with personality
It's only been 12 days since our last big update, but we're in overdrive at Larian so there's lots to share already. Here's a quick overview of the main changes:
- AI Personalities are here. If you feel up to the challenge, you can give your main protagonists a will of their own, and they'll make their own choices, just like another player would in multiplayer. Currently only random personalities are activated, but it makes for a very different game. Do try it out, it's a lot of fun.
- Primary stats now affect your skill values. This is the next step in the changes we decided to do to improve the amount of class free builds you can make. The tooltips contain all you need to know.
- The system powering the treasure generation has been refined. Loot balancing has been further improved. Disarm trap kits for instance now actually drop.
- We did several modifications to the tutorial dungeon, including a new encounter.
- Surfaces & clouds now have their own level
- The hint system is now operational
- The credits screen now works
- You can now differentiate between stacking items or wanting to craft quantities of items
- Weapons that do elemental damage now have fancy fx
- We added rotate buttons to character creation screen
- Surfaces have sound now
- You can now select your starting skills during character creation (still a few issues)
- Projectiles have an offset above the ground causing less terrain/projectile interference
- We added the Stabbey waypoint in Cyseal
- A lot of effort was done on improving the tooltips (ongoing)
- There have been plenty of fixes to the encounters, the AI and the balancing
For Mac Owners, there's a special set of fixes
- [Mac] To rotate camera on trackpad use Apple built-in rotation gesture
- [Mac] Crashes on game exiting (free() issue mentioned in crash log) are fixed
- [Mac] All physics related crashes (when dragging items around) are fixed
- [Mac] ‘Pink’ issue is fixed for good. Users of GT120/130/8600 and other cards that previously saw only pink background will be able to play.
- [Mac] Shadows lockups are fixed but for now are on manual apply.
- [Mac] Multiple video cards in same Mac are handled more correctly now
- [Mac] Exploding ‘fire’ effect has been fixed
- [Mac] International symbols input won’t cause issues in the game
- [Mac] Mac and Windows are now fully save game compatible
To see the other 130 fixes and changes, head over to the
Larian Forums.
Note that old savegames will not work with this update.
Beta Update v1.0.59
We have updated Original Sin to beta version 1.1.59.
The biggest change is that we now support Mac computers. It's not a port, it's a native thing!
We have also changed the way you now learn Skills.
Another one is the way the enemy USES skills! So now the enemy will be a lot more picky in what spell or skill to use when. They react to what you're doing. They're countering you. Some enemies even have potions and scrolls in their pockets. And they're not afraid to use 'em! Looking forward to your feedback, not only about combat of course.
But that's not all of course. There were over 300 changes and fixes in this update, so for a complete list, have a look over at our Larian forums, because this amount of text doesn't fit a Steam Announcement ;)
Full changelist: http://www.larian.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=495144#Post495144
Cheers & have fun!
Beta Update V1.0.28 - April 25th 2014
Here is the changelist for version 1.1.28 now available on Steam Early Access
• Complete overhaul of loot generation matrix. Expect much cooler treasure.
• Added 135 music tracks, including some all-time favourites from previous Divinity games
• Added a new “Way of the Rogue” ability and a variety of new Rogue skills
• Full overhaul of your Homestead at the End of Time
• You can create different user profiles, so your little brother or sister can play, too.
• Difficulty settings have been added, so players can pick which sort of experience they prefer.
• Added formations, both in turn-based combat and in real-time, for optimal tactical positioning
• All players playing Divinity: Original Sin can now chat with each other, making it easier to form multiplayer groups within the community.
• Added an “Illusionist Mirror” through which you can change your player’s looks in-game
• Replaced “repair” with “blacksmithing” and charm/intimidate/reason abilities by “charisma”
• Amended stats of “Way of the Ranger” skill
• Skill stats now level up with the characters, e.g. a level 1 flare is still useful at level 15.
• Added plenty of new skill visual effects
• Skills now have certain requirements. You can still learn a skill by boosting the relevant ability artificially, but once you lose the boost, you won’t be able to use the skill anymore.
• Full overhaul of all lighting, shading, and zoom. Get up close and personal!
• You can now give commands to each party member independently. Commands will be executed even if you’re focused on another party member.
• Party members avoid traps. Traps can be disarmed with disarm trap kits (an alternative solution to blowing up the trap, which may destroy neighboring objects).
• Journal now tracks the recipes you’ve learned.
• You can switch between party members while trading.
• There is now an interface to assign companions to other players in multiplayer.
• Several stability and performance fixes were made, in addition to loads of bug fixes. Most of the remaining networking issues should be solved now, too.
Of course there's much more than that. As a matter of fact, here are over 300 extra changes, listed on the Larian forum because it's too long for an announcement.
Unfortunately, savegames will not be compatible with previous versions.
Cheers!
