Divinity: Original Sin II - Stretch Goals, New Tiers and PR Tour

There was a comment by Larian (in the comment section of the kickstarter -which has 1000's of posts so I'm not going to try to find it) that basically said they would like to do this but it is very unlikely (a polite way of saying no).

Hmmm that's because they haven't done it will lately….

-More dangerous at night
-easier to be a theif at night
-Some magic strong/weaker

Just some quick things off the top of my head.

The 1.2 Mio Goal: Undead will be awesome ! Can't wait for this game already.

-More dangerous at night Even have some creatures sleeping making easier do a sneak attack or not in a cave during the night as they are out hunting. Can enter a haunted area easier during the day.

Some of the puzzles you might need the sun or moon light to see them. Like using a gem to reflect the light

When is the EE of the first one out again. I want to replace it now……….

October sometime…they should have released it alongside this kickstarter cuz I wanna play it.

I've been informed by a trustworthy soul at Larian Studios that he has no doubts that October was the month it is going to be released.

It really seems D:OS 2 won't have day/nights cycles, it is in the KS comments section I by chance looked just now:

"Creator Larian Studios LLC 25 minutes ago:

@LordW, to answer your question, rather than look like we're ignoring it: We're not, as things stand, going to do day/night. There are a number of technical reasons why it's extremely difficult (most of which I don't understand), but ultimately it comes down to a choice. We think that the amount of other awesome gameplay and story elements we'd have to sacrifice to make it work… well, it just doesn't seem worth it."

Thank you for the reply. Even without, D:OS was (is) fantastic. I'm looking forward to the sequel!

Thank god.
It would only ruin the first game and I bet it'd have the same effect on another one.

Boooo!

At this speed (US$ 1,025,000 funded and 30 days to go) Larian will have to bring us another set of stretch goals!
