Larian Studios Forums Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis (English) Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis Okay, I've been reading this forum for a while now

And yet there is still no actual release date, not even for regions that have a publisher. The OP has a point as far as that goes. But, my advice is still WAIT. The game will be buggy and need patching, no offense to Larian, it's just the law of computer games. As such, I don't really care what day it comes out, because I will need to wait a while anyway. I waited for the Witcher Enhanced Edition, and was rewarded with a near-flawless game, after months of everybody else complaining about load times and crashes and graphics glitches. The same with the Diablo games, the previous Divinity games, the list is as long as my game library.

I will say this though..we DO have an official word as to the release, and that is "Holiday Season." The holiday season is only so many weeks long, do you really need to pinpoint the exact day that it will hit the shelves? Save some money for it, and buy it when your local store or the internet has it available. I don't see why you have to feel so maligned because there's a not a a specific day mentioned....specific days inevitably get changed anyways...

Is D2:ED finished? The publishers require a bit of lead time to do some advertising and get some English reviews, etc, so Larian could be taking the opportunity to make additional changes or additions to the game (over and above integrating the 1.02 patch).

Since the UK and Australian English publishers have not been announced yet, the North American publisher can not really set an exact date (presumably they would want all English versions released simultaneously).
Even if they have a specific target date, they may wish to leave some flexibility so they can adapt to changing situations (marketing responses, other game releases, etc).

Who says its finished?

How does that tell me Its finished?
Were discussing the English Version not German.

It does not;) Some where saying it gave them time to put the pathcs in If its in the German version , it may be that it is in the english too^^ By the way are any other pathcs cooming?

English version is somewhat finished, at least from text side.. I guess that dub maybe needs to be done..

I´m speaking about 1.1 version.. (cause I´m playing it, and English transcription is good).

I agree that game needs more patches, even 1.2 isn´t flawless.. I guess that maybe 1.5 could be final.

Tough, game doesn´t have much bugs even at 1.1.. compared to others. Its almost perfect.. just bit unbalanced, but on other hand, I like difficult games (played D2 hardcore, finished Far Cry at max difficulty and such.. yea I´m bit of game-masochistic person.. not mentioning Devil May Cry series, thats something on max difficulty..

Yes, 1.3.

Next time just edit post

The meaning that german version is out doesn't mean that english version will be out soon, english game could even come out in 2010 summer but if it takes so long then probably some fans have already made the english sounds.

I can't wait to hear the sounds
1 actor to every 20 NPC's.
Sounds great.

To everyone who thinks it best if we all just spoke the same language:


Why is the Rosetta Stone the most important artifact in the world?

It lets you turn lead into gold... or was that the philosopher's stone?

Anyway, this is going off topic, but I don't think anyone wants there to only be one language, just that it would be nice if there was common language in place throughout most of the world.

Due to the spread of the internet, in a few years there will supposedly be more people who can read/write English than there are who can speak it. I read that somewhere on the internet, so it must be true.

I read that if i buy D2 i can become a dragon!!! Also true, the almighty god, internet, has spoken

Someone I know is in Japan right now. He goes to a school of over 1000 people with 4 English teachers. Of that school, one person other than him speak English.

The Western world != The world.

If any language should be the world's primary tongue, it should be Mandarin Chinese. English isn't even clearly second, it's a toss up with Spanish and Arabic.

Anyway, creating a mandatory primary tongue will only serve to cause extinction for many tongues now still spoken - that is an undeniable fact.

And then, in a few centuries, scientists will scold us because due to this bad decision. We've lost an incredible amount of history and information. There are still many secrets held by history, and our supposed level of progress can still be contested because of it.

Cultural heritage is extremely important - too much of it has been lost already - and language is the most vital part of that. I do not deny that a global tongue may facilitate much... But it should forever remain a choice.

I'm all for everyone speaking one language, because of the huge value of everyone being able to understand one another. It couldn't be any presently existing language, though, because to choose one would sacrifice the vast nuances and meanings that are unique to other languages. The only way to proceed toward one language is to begin integrating them into one. The practice of loanwords is a step towards this end; you seem to see it most significantly in English and Japanese. Stubbornly insisting that any one existing language is best (or that any given culture should stick to and exclusively foster its own language) only prolongs a world of splintered and disparate cultures that have a really hard time connecting and understaning one another. If you like this diversity, then fine (I can appreciate it) but you have to take the good (uniqueness of cultures) with the bad (misunderstandings and failed communication, prejudice and intolerance of whatever isn't the 'norm' for that culture, etc.)

In the interests of better communication, one language is the route we will ultimately go down as a species, I have no doubt. It will probably retain words from most if not all of the rest, but as the world grows smaller, so the ability of each of us to understand the others will grow greater.

The root language - the 'main' ancestor - looks to be English right now. Chinese may have the greatest number of native speakers, but it falls down on the written language. English is the most spoken second language in the world and is the official language of many international bodies, not the least of which are air traffic control and the scientific community.

The legacy of the British Empire, the dominance of American culture and the predominance of English speakers on the Web means that this overall trend is unlikely to reverse itself any time soon.

Not that there isn't a long way to go, of course. And there are many slips between 'promises to be' and 'actually attains' as Ancient Rome and medieval France - both the leading languages of their day - would doubtless attest

A kind of linguistic Darwinism is at work, which is the way it should be

Prooflink or DIDN'T happen.

ENGLISH SUCKS, lets start learning latin and be the first ones who make game on latin, for the world to understand how beautiful that language is !!!!

Another one who got pissed off by delayed english release, lol.
