Thank you

Hello DivineGamer,

Sorry about not putting up Xbox360 screens, but it's not about not wanting to do it.
We are a small dev team (doing big things ) and it's mainly a lack of time.
On the other hand the screens from both the PC and the Xbox360 version are both very beautiful.

Looks great, cant wait to get this on this weekend Had to stop playing Divinity II today as i guess the save is useless due to all the awesome changes. You guys and gals should be proud, your definately one developer team that truly plays these games and cares about the followers of the game. Big thumbs up wish thier was more like ya.

My copy has been sent!!

So it'll be here tomorrow.. only one day left

Larian for this game and for answering just about every question I had.

Oh nice! Thanks for the very sweet words, both of you

What's the DRM and its terms and limits (if there are any) for these versions of these products?

I was looking into the Larian store to see what was going on there, but it's in a complete other language is it possible to find it in English?

Edit: Nevermind, must of updated it while I was asleep!! Two more questions, are you going to have Exlusives through the store as Steam Version, and do you accept US Dollars?

Just click the English flag or follow this link:

Mmm, thanks, I don't think that was there last night ^^;;;

I don't know about equipment bonuses (they don't mention any on the product description page), but the payment processing company should automatically convert currencies as required.

mm, alright, I'll just wait another day.

I asked the question there, but no clear answer, only a debate on on-line activation:

We know Steam version contains Steamworks DRM + additional Securom Internet DRM w/ 5 installs.
We know LarianVault games will contain some sort of DRM with 3 install limit w/ deactivations.

We do NOT know what the Retail version contains.

The DRM is activation full info here.
http://www.larianvault.com/faq.php

-can activate by phone
-3 activations (uninstalling "properly" well free up an activation, need to be online for this)
-additional downloads allowed (within reason)
-can request for additional activations in the future from support.
-backups are allowed!

requests have to be within reason. Seems to be as unintrusive as possible for DRM. How it should be.

My question, when are they going to put the updated versions of BD and DD there?

And estimate of 2hr10min to download. That is pretty fast for a 6gb download. Gonna look forward to playing this remastered version after work.

Some people's definition of "unintrusive" might be different. It really depends on who you are talking to and whose DRM scheme Larian is actually using here.

Honestly, I should be able to back my game installer files up on disc(s), if they're forcing me to do some sort of require online activation before I can even boot the game up.

The stuff Larian is doing w/ DKS's DRM for downloaded versions of a game is pretty much commonplace nowadays - online activation; limited installs; revokes allowed; and back-ups can be made yourself.

Though, I'm NOT fond of Steam versions of games getting EXTRA DRM - I'm sorry, but Steamworks DRM itself IS ENOUGH, as it basically limits the game to ONLY ONE account can run the game anyways. Plus, you have to boot Steam program to run any Steam game, too.

The only ones who really suffer from DRM is one who actually buys and pays the game from legit places, anyways. Pirates can't suffer - b/c they unfortunately and likely got their hands on an illegal cracked version that doesn't come even equipped w/ the DRM.

I am confused....

I live in the U.S. If I go out and buy a physical U.S. PC copy of Ego Draconis will I be able to download the add-on and get the updated graphics for free from the larian store?

Also, what about U.S. Xbox 360 updates?
