Please consider doing polish translation for Divinity: Original Sin 2.
Since first Baldur's Gate every major PC RPG have polish translation. I'm talking about RPGs developed by companies like: Bethesda, BioWare, Black Isle, CD Projekt RED, From Software, inXile, Larian, Obsidian (KotOR2 is the only exception), Piranha Bytes. Doing translation of RPGs was origin of CD Project success. It also brought Piranha Bytes games cult status in Poland. Polish publishers like Cenega, CDP, Techland often prepare polish translation even for some small titles because it is well-known fact that this greatly increase sales of RPGs in Poland. Before the age of digital distribution most RPGs published in Poland even have polish voice acting.
Divinity: Original Sin 2 looks like the biggest Larian game and it would be sad if it be the first Larian RPG without polish language :(
With or without translation I would like to say that I greatly appreciated your work. It's clear that you put a lot of passion into this project!

The biggest polish gaming site gry-online.pl published today information that Divinity: Original Sin 2 will not have polish localization. You can clearly see in comments that lots of Larian fans from Poland are upset by this fact. Especially when you see that few days earlier D:OS 2 won survey for the most anticipated game of September 2017 ( http://www.gry-online.pl/S018.asp?ID=1480 ).
If you don't want to do polish localization give it to polish publishers. They have done translations and even box copies for smaller cRPG - smaller in sales not numer of words like: Wasteland 2, Pillars of Eternity, Torment Tides of Numenera (even have polish voice acting); Elex also will have full polish localization with voice acting. I know that localization cost money. But I think that gain in sales is worth it. Polish publishers clearly don't do that for charity.

Also, the price for Polish users is extremely high.

I agree. I play in every Divinity, and all of them had Polish language. Don't change it, please!

Me and my BIG mature Polish RPG community guild are waiting for Polish localization as well. No Polish no more Larian love and sales in Poland. We have the money we want to spend on the game but the developer has no offer for us in our native language. It's sad people think Larian shows middle finger to polish gamers and kickstarters so it's not worth the money and because of that people are "torrenting" the game to show the middle finger back frown

I think that's probably enough discussion of torrenting: it's not cool, it's certainly not a compelling argument, and it may cause people seen to be encouraging it to be uninvited from the forums.

By all means, talk about proposing alternative languages and so on, but let's avoid stuff that's of dubious legality.
