Larian Studios Forums Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis (English) Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis Achievements?

Wow...
Your quite picky lol.
Just because a bit of Text is cut off doesn't mean its a bug.
There might be a way to make the window larger.

Or maybe if you hover over /click a specific achievement, the full text appears(with possibly more details).

Nice thinking.
Suprised I never thought of that

Achievements on PC being unlocked.

Interesting, I thought they were basically what Raze said and useless. Would there be any way the PC version of the game to send you achievement reports similar to what X-box does? I'm sure one thing a game developer always wonders is how many finish the game. Or how many will actually try to unlock and find every secret.

It would be nice on our signatures if that be possible.

Here's a thought -- as an option in the PC version of Divinity 2, have an option on the side to "Send Achievement Notes" to Larian -- and let the game ship off my list of Achievements that I've completed to them.

I mean, listen -- if the GAMER wants to share w/ Larian what things we did and didn't do in the game, I have no problem w/ being given the option to do so.

This stuff, to Larian, could be crucial for future games -- especially if they are trying to figure out what type of quests people liked; didn't like; what side of the quest they picked; how far we advanced through the main quest; what main quests were completed; etc etc.

I'll agree with D, there. I'm all for gamer choice

Yeah, this is why I do like the whole Achievements thing -- if gives the developers an idea of how far they should and shouldn't take things.

For example, if say a majority of gamers sent their Achievement results to Larian and say they did NOT finish the Main Quest; but they say finished a good majority of the Side Quest stuff -- it tells Larian they need to improve on finding a way to draw the player into the Main Quest, for the next game Larian makes and all.

Some people think it's silly to have Main Quest stuff in the Achievements, but I don't -- you have to think outside the "I'm a gamer" box. I can think, "Geeez...What if I was a developer?" That's why I think it IS important for Main Quest stuff to be in the Achievements, as well -- so the dev's knows if they drew you into The Main Quest or not -- and how for you got into it, through it, or when you stopped w/ the main quest.

I think that's the real reason Valve's games has all kinds of Achievements and stat-tracking attached to their games and all -- so Valve can see what changes and modifications might need to be made to the game, so people can enjoy their games more. I know they've done it before -- w/ making some parts easier, in updates -- b/c some parts were brutally tough period.

I mean, really -- if say a certain part of the game fine for you and then all of a sudden there's a huge spike in difficulty in this one section that just makes it WAY TOO hard, gamers are gonna stop and move onto something else if they can't get by it after retrying more time than can shake a stick at. I'm going through this right now w/ Dead Space -- where the game was fine for me and challenging on Medium, then all of a sudden, there's this very huge spike and it's getting ridiculously hard. I've shut it off, for now -- and went back to Sacred 2.

That makes a lot of sense, D, yeah.

I know Valve's done it before -- they saw their stats indicated a certain section was too hard on X difficulty for a majority of gamers, so they turned it down a bit. If I recall, they did this on HL2 Ep 2 on the final battle -- which is one hell of a hectic non-stop battle; especially if you don't abuse the quick-save system.

I'm sure there's probably been other tweaks, improvements, and balances made in Valve games as well b/c of what they found in stats, too -- such as TF2 and Left 4 Dead.

In some instances, instead of making the game easier -- Valve's even made weapon do less da...weapon (shotgun) against a "Tank" enemy.

EDIT:
So, I think Achievements can be MORE interesting to the dev's than the gamers. I think it's nice if I hit an Achievement and all -- but I often don't aim for them. I play -- and if I hit one, cool. Though, on L4D -- I actually did try a lot to get Achievements more so than any gamer before -- since the game's really lacking on content, as is.

A little off-topic, but can anyone tell me if the German Xbox 360 version of the game is multi-language (i.e. German/English)? Thanks!

Nobody knows.
I asked but didn't get an answer.

We'll just have to wait until September 25th.

There is no UK release planned at the moment right? I found an "asian" version at Play-Asia to be released at October 16th. Considering the short time between the German release and the Asia release (if both come in the expected time) the english translation is already on the game.

I dont think there is an Asian Release.
I think they're possibly trying to sell the US Release or some other version...
Also that release is probably wrong.
Theres a UK Release plannned probably but the Publisher hasn't been announced.
