I am going to have to wait until it makes the jump to consoles unfortunately. All my best mates are one the Xbox, and I intend to do a full campaign run through with 4 players.

It really is more fun to play with your mates, especially when you disagree on something; my first playthrough I had a lot of points in Charm, so my friend basically lost every game of rock-paper-scissor! And since my character was quite amoral and his was a paragon of goodness... well, he wasn't very happy with me!

Thank you Andraste_Reborn ! Is there anything else you can share about the characters/classes/races? I didn't even know about the elven cannibalism thing, so I'm really not up do date with the news! I know many things! For starters, the game has optional fixed character origins - a bit like the origins in DAO - that give you some extra dialogue and content. Currently there are four available: male and female humans, a male lizard and a female elf. At least two more should be coming later. (We know we're getting an Undead one, and presumably there will be a dwarf as well.) While you can't change the race or gender of the fixed characters, you can change their names and customize them visually. And if you don't like any of them, you can make a custom character. Whichever origins you don't pick exist in the game world as potential companions. Classes are currently the same as the ones in the first game, although apparently they'll be adding some kind of summoner class at some stage. As before, you can customize your character with whatever skills you like, and the classes are really just starting guidelines. At the moment, your class does determine your initial skills, but that's just a limitation for Early Access as far as I know. I'm glad to report that because of the changes to the skill system, hybrid characters work a LOT better this time. (You still have the option of building a powerful specialist focused on just one or two things, but you're not punished harshly for spreading your points around.) As for the races ... Humans: bog standard fantasy humans, just as you'd expect. They get bonuses to Wits and Leadership, and their racial skill is Encourage, which gives bonuses to the whole party. Elves: The cannibal elves are a really cool concept - they place a strong emphasis on memory, and can absorb memories from the people they eat. I don't feel like I have a solid grasp of the rest of their culture yet, because the elf companion's dialogues are kind of dominated by her being a former slave who wants to murder everyone you meet. I don't know if that's typical of elves in the setting or not. They get bonuses to Finesse (that's the attribute that would be called Dexterity in pretty much any other game) and an ability called Flesh Sacrifice that lets them temporarily lower their Constitution for combat bonuses. Dwarves: In the part of Rivellon where the game is set, people tend to look down on dwarves - and not just in a literal sense. Their empire has been in trouble recently, and dwarves that come to human lands seem to be seen as unwelcome economic refugees. They get bonuses to Strength and Sneaking and can Petrify people with their racial skill. I can also report that they are adorable and make excellent Clerics. Lizards: Denizens of the most ancient empire in the world, and they want to tell you all about it, all the time. Everyone else thinks the lizards are elitist, the lizards think everyone else is barely worth enslaving. They get bonuses to Intelligence and Persuasion and can BREATHE FIRE. In a nice twist, the females of the species are taller than the males and have impressive crests.

I thought I would wait until release too but I've actually started a play through with my buddy. I chose the human default female as a warrior. I love the huge 2H sword, I feel like I'm Madora ^^ My buddy is a custom lizard shadow warrior and so far we found 2 companions: The Red Prince and Sebille. 3 melee chars and a hunter, best team composition ever. xD I must say I really enjoyed playing it so far, even if it's obviously incomplete. Also movement seems a bit clunky but otherwise it's just like an improved DOS.
Funny fact: My elf learnt a skill by eating someone's leg.

I've yet to finish the first one (Didn't even left the first map yet). But is a really nice game, the art style is beautiful. However for some reason I find it hard to keep on the game for long. Same here. I struggled too. I think, for me, I expected Bioware style companions. When the look for dialogues / interactions do not appear, the game became kind of flat and boring for me so I stopped playing.

Anyone has any idea when the game is coming out of early access? I gave it a relatively short try and stopped so I won't spoilt the game for myself, waiting for the actual release. Just that it's sometime this year. With a timetable for release "sometime soon"

I hope that in the final game when playing a character, the other origins / companions (I'm not sure if these are two things or not), can be set to have their own personalities and have their reactions controlled by the AI, it feels rather strange to play with what feels like multiple protagonists at the same time. It will also add to replay-ability. The first game eventually put in the ability to give the other character an AI personality. It affects what choices they made if they aren't the active party member

www.divinity.game/origin-stories/Origin Stories
Divinity: Original Sin 2 introduces origin stories, different background stories that players will be able to choose for their characters.
Origin stories will expand and evolve throughout the main campaign: players will have their unique Origin Quests to fulfill and their background and personality will change NPCs’ reactions and create new dialog options and quest opportunities.
Origin stories are closely tied with the main narrative of the game. Even if the player doesn’t pick up a certain origin story, that character will still exist in the game world as an NPC you can recruit to your party.
If you don’t recruit a certain origin story character, you will still see their story unfolding throughout the main campaign.
Depending on who they are, different party members will have different dialogs with the inhabitants of Rivellon. Selecting who does the talking has a big impact on how the story evolves.
In co-op mode, players with different origin stories will frequently have mutually exclusive, conflicting goals, determined by Origin Quests. If they want to advance their own personal quests, they will have to compete or co-operate.

So has anyone played this since the latest patch? How is it shaping up in your opinion?
I've had my eye on this, but I've been holding off due to a backlog of other games I've wanted to work through. Do the different racial choices feel different in terms of narrative and gameplay? What about the powers and specializations, do they offer diverse styles of play?
It sucks that the Undead option wasn't added in yet, hopefully they will really bring something cool to the table when the game finally releases in September.

I just bought this game on GOG. Should I wait two weeks for the full release before I play it? It's pretty tempting to just jump right in ...

I absolutely detest early access, don't want to spoil my enjoyment. Yeah I've played around with the CC a bit, but waiting for the full release before diving in.

So, those of you who have early access: Would you consider sharing the customization options available (in particular faces and hairstyle)? I plan on waiting until they release the game on console (they will, right? Right?) but I'm sooo curious! I plan on making a little dwarf battlemage, and I like to plan ahead what they will look like and how their personality will be.

I plan on making a little dwarf battlemage, and I like to plan ahead what they will look like and how their personality will be. Character creation is done via different presets IIRC, not actual sliders say like in DA:I.
So you have a hair preset, face preset, etc.
Here are a few character creation videos I found on YouTube:
Thank you, I did play the first game so I am familiar with the CC, and I have watched the linked videos. I was mostly curious if anything had changed since then, but I guess people will post more comprehensive videos once the game is out. Really hope that they decide to publish it on console as well, can't wait to play it!

I wonder if Alix Wilton Regan will voice half of the game as in DoS:EE. I mean, I love her voice, could listen to Traynor talking for hours, but it was too much.

Divinity is the only game series I hype for other than Bioware games, so the indefinite wait until I can get it on console is soooo hard! I guess I have Destiny to play, but it can't really match the fun I've had with Divinity.
