Hello there, two weresheep embark on an epic quest to the Larian Studios to enhance the kickstarter wrap-up party for Divinity: Original Sin.


Dwelfusius and yours truly

We arrived at Larian Studios around 5.45pm LST (Larian Studios Timezone). All Larian employees were still hard at work and we were directed to a sofa where we had to wait until the kickstarter campaign ended and David and Swen finished their live playing session.


Larian@work (or are they?)

We got a good feel of the atmosphere at Larian Studios and while everyone is working every detail in the office remind people they are creating magical games people around the world enjoy.





They work so hard there, they even forget to put the christmas tree away after December.


At Larians, it's alway christmas.

But after the work is done, it was party time! Everyone was very excited the kickstarter campaign ended very close to 1 million dollars (995k). A couple of minutes later Swen announced Paypal pushed the counter above 1 million and all stretch goals were achieved.


Party time!

After the first (and second... and third...) glass of champagne was consumed, two gigantic pies were brought into the room.


The cake is not a lie!

Kirill performed live for us all during the first hours of the party. Kirill was so in his element one moment his synthesizer dropped dead on the floor. I guess this was also live on Twitch TV. Luckily the synthesizer was not broken and Kirill could play further. The mood was already very loose and people were enjoying theirself, but that event really set the party loose.


Kirill with still an intact synthesizer.

Dwelfusius and I also got the opportunity to play Divinity: Original Sin. If anyone still has doubts, don't! This game is good! The co-op play is very unique and sets this game apart from anything you have ever seen before. This might set a new standard for co-op play in these kind of games. Dwelfusius and I would also make great beta-testers, because we were able to crash the game every five minutes. All in all, we played for about an hour and a half. That's not that much, but we got a good feel of the game and we wanted to enjoy the party with the other Larian employees and friends and family.


Boot that game already! We want to play!

Also Patrick wandered in to enjoy the party.


Do your breakdancing Patrick!

Swen didn't forget about us Weresheep. He gave us personal attention and he put his whole company at work for a signing session for us.


Don't spill booze on that!!!

After that the party went on for many more hours with lots of booze, but I had to sign a NDA to not report what happens within the walls of Larian Studios. What happens at Larian, stays at Larian. If I break this promise I'l die a horrible death and suffer for eternity in the fires of hell.

I'd like to thank Swen and everyone at Larian personally for having me at their Kickstarter wrap-up party. To be at Larian is a teenage dream come true for me and it was a great party. I enjoyed myself greatly and this was surely one of the best parties I attended this year. I had a very enjoyable evening. Thank you!

And last but not least. We, Weresheep as true RPG-ists couldn't leave the premises without some phat loot!


Told you guys I was going to make you jealous

You bastards
and yes, I'm jealus

Thanks for the write up, sounds like you're had great fun. Thanks for representing us and I'm surer jealous of the digs and box, I have only the version from GOG.

Lucky bastards. *Grumbles about living in the USA and the travel distance.*

I am glad you all had a good time, and thanks for the write-up!

Awesome!

Nice article and photos

Thanks for the great write-up!

Love the loot you got, and playing the game for 1.5 h. Colour me green!

Thanks for all of the pics and the report weresheeps, glad to hear you enjoyed yourselves.

And lol at all the signed weresheep pics.

Thanks for the write-up and good to hear you had fun!

Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun! I'm looking forward to the fan day now.

Nice boxes though I am more jealous of the signatures/sheep drawings the Larians did than the boxes themselves. :p

I am getting the digital anthology as an addon from my pledge and I move so much that I usually appreciate digital things over physical....unless they have awesome signatures/sheep drawings lol.

ohhh envious as hell, but really happy you guys enjoyed it, and now your going to do a raffle for all that fat loot since you already got to go to the party =P j/k enjoy the loot!!!

very good report, thanks for sharing

Awesome! Sounds like you had a lot of fun!

Thanks for the report, I really appreciate it!

Actually the guy that says that is uber-chill..all of them are but I thought he was very relaxed

Even if I am anti-sheep this was a great report; thanks for the write-up and photos.

I should have killed you at the station :p

Sheeps killing sheeps - now that is something that would be appealing

Sounds like you had a baah time.

And yes, I'm jealous.

I'm so happy for you two.

And I'm glad that bothering Swen and Larian all evening on Thursday was worth something in the end....

And thanks for the report, was a nice read with awesome behind-the-scene pictures.

Thanks for the write up. Looks like good time had by all!

Absolutely awesome! I'm glad you two [DarthDavy & Dwelfusius] went and had a great time. It's memories like this that make life all the better

Thanks for the photos and write-up. Very much appreciated

Jelly.

Are we now going to see a humping weresheep in the game? Is that how they reproduce?....

Awesome! Congrats and thanks for sharing the photos and stuff.

Some of us wouldn't need an NDA - some of us don't remember most of the evening!

Great to see you both had lot's of fun at the party !

Thanks for sharing some photo's & info

So how was the cake that fell down? Still edible?

Cake that fell down?

The only thing that I noticed falling down was Kirill's synthesizer

@ ca. 2:50 sec.

OK Davy, I have some pics, how do I post em or is there a way we can add them in your post?

Upload them to a public place like on Google Drive or dropbox and link them in here with img-tags.
