Divinity: Original Sin II - The Dark Eye - Official Game Master Campaign
 

A new official game master mode campaign for Divinity: Original Sin II.

More information.

Those new remaster-remake Dark Eye 3D games that came out in recent years were utter trash. At least now Dark Eye gets a proper engine. Blackguards I-II were the amazing exception!

News to me good news actually.

Cant wait to play the mod not Game Master adventure.

Refuse to call it that sounds unnatural.:biggrin:

Hum but now we need to find a group to play with…

I don't believe I'll ever be desperate enough to replay this game, no matter any additional content.

I wish they could do Drakensang back from Bigpoint.

This isn't "additional content", and if I understand it correctly, it won't even be the same game. It's a Dark Eye campaign for a GM + 3-5 players, implemented within the D:OS2 engine.

At last someone who paid attention to the article…

Thank you for pointing out the obvious… once again. So keep being you.:sarcasm:
Yep a mod/new update that adds a new game setting to play.

Really interesting. I wonder how they implemented the TDE ruleset mechanics. After all it's completely different from DOS.
And I had been happier if they'd publish an actual single player campaign.

Yeah probably the only downside is the setting will need a GM to run it. It would make a great way to play a campaign with friends like in the old days at least.

Maybe it can be played solo we don't know yet though.:fingerscrossed:

Yep, but that's a heavy downside. It's just really difficult to bring the squad together regularly.

But don't get me wrong. First and foremost I'm happy that Larian and TDE get involved. Future things could happen.

You can't play it solo. It is played in a similar fashion as a P&P game. It is 'just' a campaign, so you need a GM to provide the story, create events and do stuff on the spot to compensate for unexpected actions from players. Without a GM, nothing happens.

Well you could always play GM yourself and control the party.

Unless this requires an internet connection then yeah wont matter.:)

So D:OS2 gets the NWN treatment?
That is, eventually replacing the (IMHO) mediocre-passable main campaign with much better modules by third parties?
Colour me interested.

No you can't. This is a GM campaign. Game Master is a separate mode in DOS2 (it was a Kickstarter stretch goal). For the GM mode a new campaign is created. it is not an add-on or anything like that. The campaign has absolutely nothing to do with the game itself. There is no party to control or play, just like there isn't one in a P&P game. You play as a GM and if there is nobody else, then there is no party and nothing to play. So it makes absolutely no sense to try and play a GM campaign solo.

Thanks for the answers now I feel like an idiot.:embarrassed:

Won't likely touch this myself but would really love to see a group of streamers play this one.

Both Original Sin 1&2 allowed you to make & share mods like NWN. Yet it never caught on with modders and not many campaigns were created made. Damn shame really.

You can find a few on the Nexus Mod sites & Steam workshop.

For those unfamiliar with how this mode works, there is a lengthy playthrough hosted by Matt Mercer:

I'm still waiting for a boxed version of DOS2.
