I must admit that today I’ve felt rather discouraged about my attempts to bring awareness to the unfortunate situation surrounding the game. It’s pretty clear that it’s not working, and that Larian is pretty set in stone after patch 7 of just making technical adjustments to the game and then just riding off into the sunset without ever giving it the attention and closure it deserves. Unfortunate, but sadly probably what will happen to this gem of a game, because people’s romantic fantasies can only keep the game alive and profitable to Larian for so long. I’m pretty torn up now between continuing to fight against this absolutely atrocious decision by Larian, or just giving up while I’m ahead before I become labeled as an “annoyance” in the community. I ultimately do want to enjoy what the game does have to offer, and now it’s often feeling like I can’t do that because loading it up to play just gets me angry and thinking about the wasted potential on the screen in front of me.

Yeah, its a case of preference. I don't mind point and click for the old school diablo and command and conquer games. For games where you are navigating 3d cities and actually trying to navigate some traps, I would MUCH rather deal with my own input guiding the character around them than the games where I have a big enough issue with the companions springing traps WHILE I in the process of disabling them let alone trying to walk around a fire and not into it.



There is actually a decent reason why developers don't respond in suggestion threads many times. It can actually cause more problems for them in the long run. Think of it this way, if they respond specifically to a certain topic too many times or not enough on another, players start reading into that too much, let alone the players who feel their views are special and don't like the fact they aren't being responded to while others are or they actually got responded to but didn't like the answer they got and want to become a Diva over it and try and become "Youtube Famous" over it.

From a drama and a liability perspective, it's safer on their part just to remain silent on these things and only respond sparingly.

I tried to pickpocket Withers.
After one attempt, the other members became hostile. This led to a combat where Scratch , Barcus Wroot and Halsin were killed. Gale joined teh fight and i couldn't control him.

Since its my Honor mode run, I cant reload another save.
I'm also playingo n adrka Urge run.

Is this normal? or not. All the others failed attempts at pickpocketing didn't lead to a battle.

I would also prefer it if this passage could be slightly modified if you reject the offer of other companions and choose Astarion. My Dark Urge is too evil for these companions, when I have them in the group, they complain constantly and I'm definitely not going to get any approval, flirting has already failed anyway. It doesn't fit into my game to flirt with them either. My Dark Urge has completely different things to worry about than flirting with everyone. My Dark Urge prefers to tease Astarion and be celebrated by Minthara.

We then all sit around the campfire and Astarion manicures our nails. One should not underestimate the value of well-groomed nails on the battlefield.


Sceleritas' hat lifts up a little and the cute little white bat face looks carefully out from under it and looks after the waving lady. The little bat turns and lifts the hat further with its butt and then crawls out from under it to jump onto the hat.

"She looked delicious Sceleritas. I would have liked to bite her finger."

I just get this:



Though I assume you guys are playing on PC? This is from the console, I think I forgot to mention this is happening on console in my fist post. Apologies for the confusion.

Just keeping everyone up to date on shipping progress:

Label created 7/9/24

So one FedEx gets the package the game arrives quickly

No? The Brain's orders reach the prism and are now almost relentless. He would have been quickly forced to obey anyway.

The way I see it, trust is irrelevant in this current configuration.


Imo that's the limit of the scenario, if you give to the Emperor the power he should have then, he would totally steals the adventure from the players.


It's too late to complain since this possibility is already in game anyway, but I’m not fan of the idea of being able to convince everyone to commit the things they disapprove the most with just a dice roll.

yeah, everything i'm checking rn is in honor mode. it'd suck if it's just because of that

For me, it was definitely The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Just a quick note, since the feedback section on Discord is closed: There are still doors, you can't shoot through or fire a spell through - in Grymforge for example.

Thanks for the insight, Silver.

In case this mind sound mocking the Owlcats: It's frustration on my part. I have fond memories of Kingmaker as well, in particular early stages. Plus any game that is insipred by Realms Of Arkania's travelling and camping system does something good. However, I'm still not gonna revisit that either. I only need to think of the grind in the final chapter/s or so. And how the last couple maps had the same Wild Hunt super mob paste&copied all over them. Finding the right buff routines to make it out alive is challenging once. It's okay twice. But dozens of times?

That's just a low effort filler to make an already immensely long game even longer, as studios can do much better even when on a tight budget. And with Wrath, I wasn't near that final stage of Owlcat escalation yet, despite the in-game clock showing like 80+ hours of play-time total... Seems I didn't miss out on anything.

I think this all is a vital topic for the entire genre though. There's devs that try to go all-out LOTR, despite having the ressources for an episode of Xena - Warrior Princess at best. There's also genuinelly audience expectation that games offering less than X hours of playing time are ones to be picked up on a Steam discount at best. More importantly, outside of BG3, EVERYBODY is working on a budget. And even BG3, see the ongoing debate about the last act...

This obsession with campaign length needs to stop.

I have a solution that's worked for a friend and I. It's not a fix per se, but my friend and I are almost finished with Act 3 and we nearly have our golden dice!

The issue started once we entered the Lower City. As some of you have pointed out in this forum, it happens when entering the Lower City via door, portals, passageways etc., so any entrance that shows the 'Use mouse' icon over it (small mouse icon with the two gears below) to enter the Lower City will cause the crash.

Furthermore, using the Leave Camp button will also cause the game to crash if you used the Return to Camp button while inside the Lower City.

And finally, we have found the joinee's game crashes before they can even load into the host's server if their character's last location was in the Lower City.

Dealing with the last issue first: Firstly, the host should move the joinee's character out of the Lower City to Camp or a dungeon. Then, we found that joinee is always able to join when they drop their video quality settings to the lowest pre-sets from the options in the game's main menu. Then they can either join via Steam invite or lobby searching. This gets the joinee into the server. That's the first hurdle overcome.

The solution to the crashing is quite simple, when entering the Lower City, always enter via a map waypoint. Just open your map and click a waypoint.

Crashes still occasionally happen this way, but we've found that if the joinee also drops their video quality settings to their lowest before fast-travelling, this tends to avoid crashes quite consistently. The video quality settings can be returned to the joinee's preference after entering a dungeon (or any other entrance) that uses the 'Use' mouse icon. Just remember to lower the video settings again before fast-travelling back into the Lower City.

Once you enter the Lower City via a waypoint, you could increase your video settings again, but we found this increases the likelihood of a crash while exploring the area. I found playing at the lowest video quality was a small price to pay for the fun of playing through Act 3 with my friend.

Of course, accidents happen. It's very easy to forget about entering the Lower City via a waypoint. Your game will crash when this happens. But, all you need to do is Force Quit the game, get the host to move your character back to camp, drop your video quality settings back down the lowest from the Main Menu, and then rejoin the lobby (the same way I mentioned above).

I hope this helps. I hope it works for you as it has for my friend and I! Maybe when Patch 7 comes out in September this issue might be fixed, but until then, give this a try. Good luck!


(I should say that the joinee in our case was playing on the Mac version of the game with an M1 Pro 32GB and usually runs the game at ultra video quality where applicable with FSR turned off. We were also playing as origin characters, not Tav's, but since joinee Tavs remain the server even if the joinee themselves isn't in the server, I see no reason why this wouldn't also work for Tav playthroughs too).

I want to recruit and romance Khaga, our happy ending being the creation of a Juvenile Correction Facility.

Good evening friends,

I would like to know if there is any forecast to release an update for the original divinity sin enhanced edition on playstation with the texts in Brazilian Portuguese.

There was an update to the PC version in 2022, however, nothing in the Playstation version. Strangely, the update took place in the original divinity sin 2 and it was translated on the playstation.

I think it would be great if Mattis' Lucky ring actually gave a secret behind-the-scenes +1 bonus to every roll when worn.

If the real roll is, say, 15, just have the dice show a 16 instead. The player would never even have to know.

Sounds like the words of someone who isn't ready to pay up after messing with folders for a whole day... and coming to the unfortunate conclusion that they need to start over . This extent of damage to game files does not come from nothing. We are not fools here. Between using verification of files as an argument and temper tantrums, we know you're a choleric newbie modder.

I've been messing around with multiclassing my Tav as a barbarian, but whenever I have specced the character so that his first class isn't barbarian (for dex saving throw proficiency) I've noticed via the combat log that the character loses advantage on dex saving throws via Danger Sense.

Whenever I spec back into barbarian as the original class, I regain the use of Danger Sense, but I obviously lose proficiency in Dexterity based saving throws. I looked online and couldn't find anyone talking about this, but I figured I'd ask if anyone has experienced something similar and if there's a fix. Of note, in none of these tests have I been afflicted with a negative condition that would prevent the use of Danger Sense. Thoughts?

Nice to meet you! I'm also a big fan of the Larian games. BG3 is incredible, right? Looking forward to geeking out about RPGs with you!

I had the same issue with not getting the SMS for logging in. I checked my spam folder and still found nothing. In the end, I reached out to Larian Studios' support team, and they helped me fix it pretty quickly.

is it a known ending = yes
did you miss some content = yes your son has a point but you did end the game in a logical way... as you pointed the wiz kind of had it coming so its not really that rare that he dies unless you mean waiting that long to do it

next play you will pay more attention
