Larian Studios - Divinity Anthology - the good, the bad, the unexpected

I have to say, D2 was a tad buggy internationally upon release but I only had one bad bug in the US version. One of the only games I've beaten more than 3 times is D2: DKS. The mix of humor, music, exploration and combat was perfect for me for some reason.

Let me fix this for you :

This company does NOT deserve your goodwill.

If you want to play the games go ahead and pay the minimum. Don't give them extra. They're not a charity. They're not your friends. They don't need your help. They are selling a product. You're a consumer. Be a smart one.

Side note : Yes, this happens. EA substracted from my "free play time" 12 days until I sent them a bug ticket. They substracted them although I NEVER had any subscription. all I did was registering the game.

And now I've found out that subscriptions canot be "frozen" at all. PC damaged ? Vacation ? Hospital ? Severe illness ? No way, it will count down, no matter what you do.

You are ranting about doors disappearing ? I'm ranting about paid playing time being taken from me !

That's definitely a bummer, although I'm not entirely clear what it has to do with Larian.

Anyway, the doors disappearing bug was game-breaking. You could not progress, and they refused to patch it. It was simply unacceptable. This was in the US version; patch 1.03 I believe it was.

Wasn't that particular bug avoidable by simply not using quicksave/load? Look, i understand where you're coming from, anyone who has played games for some time has probably run into their share of gamebreaking bugs. Games, especially RPG-s are incredibly complicated pieces of software and bugs happen to even the best devs out there. Still, there are things YOU as a player can do, to reduce the impact of such bugs. Keeping plenty of savegames is always a smart thing to do, especially with Gamebryo games and with all RPG-s in general.

Not quite— it was avoidable by never overwriting your savegames. Of course by the time it popped up I was several hours into the game and would have been forced to start over from the beginning.

I'm not upset about the bug existing. Well I am, but I could live with that. I'm upset that they literally refused to patch it and told me to wait for the expansion pack.

I certainly dont remember when they fixed it, but it was well before the expansion pack.

It was at least 6 months after release in the US, because I stayed on top of it for that long.

I put down $160 for the new Tex Murphy game. Not especially for the rewards tier, but because of the fun I had with Under A Killing Moon and The Pandora Directive and wanting the project to succeed so I can have more fun in the future.

It's a beloved franchise that will make a lot of people very happy and it is a good thing to make it succeed. Maybe not as good as funding research into furthering scientific advances for finding a cure for HIV, but still good.
