Divinity: Original Sin has received a huge update on Steam Early Access, taking the game into beta and adding a variety of new talents, skills, areas to explore, a new skill tree and character customisation. Larian Studios have also released a trailer to coincide with the beta, showing off the game’s tactical combat and other features.
The new patch and beta update apparently doubles the amount of campaign content in the game. Here’s the full list of added features for the promising turn-based RPG, as described by the developers.
There are over 400 improvements in this update including a host of new features such as:
-
28 exciting new talents, including such fun things like the Lone Wolf perk, which gives a player super abilities, but makes it impossible for him or her to hire companions.
-
More than 60 new skills, allowing for a new brand of synergies, such as combining the Invisibility skill with Pickpocketing
-
A new witchcraft skill tree that can be combined with other skills to deadly effect
New areas to explore , new foes to fight, new items to find & new secrets to discover
-
A brand new character creation screen with new presets such as the Shadowblade or the Wayfarer, and an enormous amount of customisation options.
-
More environmental interactions – you can smash or burn doors, pickpocket characters & use staffs to electrify pools of water. Or how about burning wooden chests to get the loot inside?
-
Improved AI, user interface, graphics, loading times, performance and stability mean playing Divinity: Original Sin has never been this smooth
-
A truckload of new sound effects & music tracks
That’s a lot of new goodies. Expect more to come as the game progresses through its Early Access programme.
