Coach is too good for playing games now. A 4-hour commute leaves him too tired or something ridiculous.

Classic mode was faceroll with two undead lone wolf rogues. My gear was mostly epic items for the last boss fight, only had 3 pieces of divine. Didn't use a single rune, never crafted a single item, or used any type of healing throughout the whole game.
Might run the same duo through tact mode to see how much harder it is.

GOTY unless something miraculous happens. I haven't finished it, but if I have one nitpick it's just that I wish it was more dark. I get that a lot of people like the humor, but I prefer these kinds of RPGs to be more gritty.

Putting it in relation to their previous Divinity games and especially OS:1 this one is super grim dark.

Lol our coop night was AWESOME.
Thanks fellas!!!! And sorry about all the fire damage I caused. I'll .... aim better
Yah, my first playthrough I had an extremely hard time with fire. Since then, I've picked up summoning and what I should've picked up which was aero mage. I mean, what you've got is fine, but not for the very early game. Those four pyro books I stole for you, and which you got caught for, should help you some.
Heck, I'm not even sure what each of them are. lol

Hmm I don't know, I find the humor super limited in this game overall? I mean yeah the animals all talk with funny animal voices and a bunch of them have stupid dialogues, but a lot of them are pretty serious too(just still with the cartoon voices). And other than those, almost everything was serious, there's plenty of people dying and what not and the setting overall is pretty bad with the usual ultra authoritarian religious power and demons popping everywhere killing random people, plus a healthy dose of racism because why not.
Like I think you can probably count on one hand the goofy things?

I'm not sure how this is getting perfect 10s all over the place. It's an 8.5 to me and I might excuse a 9. There are a ton of options missing and UI pieces (cough inventory cough) that are just archaic and unfortunate. No exposed combat systems personally irritate the fuck out of me as well. That plus how unintuitive coop is in practice (seriously having to click listen on EVERY fucking NPC interaction?) just puts a damper on the experience. I haven't even yet gotten to the point where the balance issues people complain about. It could maybe all be fixed with mods or patches or something.

That was awesome.
"Crap.... Someone get the glove teleporter - Goishen's dwarf keester cannot even reach the vine ladder" And then we had to punt him up LOL
The coop hilarity in this is over the top awesome!

The thing that I thought was funniest...
"Oh shit, I think we're gonna have reload guys. I just aggroed the turtles."
Me : "Yah, especially since I can't reach the vines coming up there"
BTW, I'm the cleric of the group. And I had the teleport gloves. lol

Its a weird blend of half serious half slapstick. I mean, overall the voice acting sounds like something out of old Monty Python skits for the most part. It's definitely corny and doesnt take it overly serious. The necromancers in Braccus Rex's tower are sitting around playing the card game "go fish", then you have the fucked up shriekers moaning in agony crucified spitting death lightning. But yea, I think you are right the cartoony-ness lends more to that than the ultra realism of a game like say, Skyrim which was very immersive (ofc 1st person is a huge boon for that kind of game too).

A lot of the comedy is going to come from playing Coop with a good group. I haven't laughed in a video game this hard since 2000 when in Everquest, a duo I played with, one guy brought down the entire zone of Unrest to us in Rucksiff's room after he was frustrated he couldn't get a wing for his Necromancer's epic, and watching 100 mobs flailing around the corner and down the stairs into the room as the puller says, "This should do it".

I'm "only" 40 hours in so far, but this has been a refreshing experience. Going from Destiny 2 to this is night and day in terms of the care, thought and love that went into this game vs over produced, under delivered products like Destiny 2/COD/Diablo 3 (games I actually enjoyed for about a week). Can't say enough how impressed I am with Larian and the team behind this game - I didn't like this for the first 4-6 hours or so. I sucked, I thought it was confusing as fuck, and there was no real indication on where to go or what to do (In fact, I didn't even fucking realize you could open a map with quest markers until 20 hours in... rofl). That said, it's rewarding - getting my dick punched in by Alice Alesceon or whatever two nights ago made me rage (tbf I was level 12 at the time and she's 15) - I changed strats, reworked my teams skills and beat her. Gratifying as fuck. Tough to say in September, but between this and Horizon (another wonderful game, crafted by a smaller studio) we've had a great year for gaming and it'll be interesting to see what wins GOTY. So far, for me, this is by far the winner. It literally feels like playing top down D&D with friends in a video game. Anxious to see what the studio does next - a different setting would be great with similar game play.
This game isn't perfect, but the good stuff so far outweighs the niggling bad that I don't even think of the horrible inventory management, stat inflation, overdone dialogue at times when I'm thinking of the game. Everything I think of when thinking about this is overwhelmingly positive. If BOTW received multiple 10/10's, this deserves just as many - probably more.

I still (Kinda) feel bad for not knowing how res worked and I could teleport dead people away from the fight instead of ressing them in a lake of fire right next to the crocs.

Its very much a hallmark of the origins, with Ultima. Not just the gameplay, but its the same humor as well.
