Original Sin - Review Roundup

Great to see it's a success for Larian, that hopefully means more games similar to D:OS in the future.

Just need to finish BG2 then i'll give it a proper playthrough..

I can agree with APG on the notes thing… a bit anyway. I wouldn't mind having something like X3: Terran Conflict's encyclopedia to cover vendors. As you visit them, their wares get added to a little list inside the game. When you want to know who has water spell books, you can just look it up there. I've got a note pad handy so I can do without but I would really rather have the PC take care of that than having to keep track of all those bits of paper like in the olden' days.

I found crafting tedious as well. Would've preferred that once you've discovered the recipe, you can just select the product from a menu, click craft and be done with it rather than having to hunt around for the recipes and click dragging them all over the place everytime.

But it only affects my enjoyment of crAfting (to the point I want nothing to do with it) and not the game itself which I find excellent thus far despite the REALLY long saving/loading times it gives me.

FYI, but my load times are maybe 2-3 seconds max on an SSD… unless they get longer later in the game? Perhaps finally a worthwhile use for having put my Steam directory on the SSD.

Didn't Gothic have a similar style with crafting ?

A Truly Divine RPG: 9/10

Staying #1 on Steam best seller list. This HAS to equate to some serious $ I would imagine. And a consistent 17,000+ players per day. Not to mention the sales they are likely to get from GOG and other sites. I've got to think that Larian will hit the million sales mark within the foreseeable future, which is kind of unheard of for this type of game now. And they deserve every penny… Could even go higher. 2 million sales for a niche cRPG(?). Possible.

They considered Skyrim (I first mis-wrote "Skyreime", whereas a "Reim" is in German language a "rhyme", lol ) a "niche RPG" as well … At first … Now it's mainstream …
