 Divinity: Original Sin II is a role-playing video game developed and published by Larian Studios Plot: The game takes place centuries after the first Divinity: Original Sin in a time of wars and religious persecution. Bishop Alexandar the Innocent declares all Sourcerers to be criminals, so a group of four Sourcerers embark on a quest to defeat him. Gameplay: It's a turn-based RPG that can be played single player or co-op. And the interesting twist on the co-op is that you can actually go into different zones than each other, and your actions will affect the way people react to every playable character, not just the one you're playing. You can pick classes and races in the usual RPG fashion but there are some twists - like being able to play as an undead or being a cannibal! You can play with a controller or mouse and keyboard and there are already plenty of mods available through the steam workshop and other places on the intrawebs, which I'm gonna take advantage of. I'd love to play co-op with ya'll but I have to sneak in playing while my kids sleep at night and I am very unreliable due to this schedule so I'll be going solo. But from what I've read, this game is super fun playing with a friend. This is also a blind play through, I have pretty much no knowledge of this game and might stumble around a bit to figure everything out, but I'm looking forward to discovering what some are calling the best RPG of all time. So without further ado... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILbcdmdhOJs Episode list: EPISODE 01: SO AN UNDEAD ELF WAKES UP ON A BOAT EPISODE 02: A WEIRD ISLAND WITH A TALKING CAT EPISODE 03: THE CAT IS LIFE EPISODE 04: VENGEANCE FOR MR.

Well this looks like a high effort production. At least get an OP.

https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3790126 Let's Play Sandcastle Below are examples of good OPs (Original Post) https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3815192 https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3803825 https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3831904 Basically, try to explain what the game is for people who don't know. Its not about word count, and people should be able to understand what it is and what you plan to do with it. For example: You can play Co-Op in Divinity Original Sin 2, but will you? Is this open to other Goons or not? Playing with cheats on may not entice people to watch, but don't take that as me saying "Don't cheat", just that, in my opinion, that removes some of the fun and challenge from the game. The format is also really important. You're doing this solo, right? Divinity OS2 is a very large game, and there are plenty of ways to lose the plot or forget what you were doing because of how many options and things the game lets you do, so do you really want to move forward with video? Again, not saying it can't work (Just look at the two Goons doing the entirety of Final Fantasy!) but it does require work and plenty of editing. If that sounds like a ton of work, and you'd rather just post single video updates now and again, well, you've always got this thread or the casual thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3750711

I'd love to learn how to do a better job in the future OP stands for Opening Post. Check any other Let's Play thread on the Forum and most have an OP that tells anyone clicking on the thread about the game. As an example check this thread, it's one up from you in the new let's play thread. But it works just fine for illustration purposes. A little history maybe, give them an idea of what kind of let's play you're doing. Plus a list of videos uploaded so far for ease of access. I'd advise having a look through the Sandcastle thread. They can give you constructive feedback about videos and Opening Post and everyone tend to be pretty helpful. That's probably the best place to start.

Jobbo_Fett posted:https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3790126 I updated the OP, hopefully that's a little better. I think in the future I'll be taking advantage of the casual thread more if only because I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to make my threads as good as some of the bangers I've seen here. But I really appreciate you taking the time to help a brother out. Thanks ya'll.

Can you please not read the text out loud? It's not the thing a professional LPer would do. I've seen so many obnoxious Youtubers do that.

I'm sorry, but if I don't do this, it basically becomes a no commentary LP due to the amount of text games like this have. I am trying to make it a habit not to talk while voice acting is happening though. I hope I haven't lost your views but I complexly understand if it's not your thing.

It's one of the "rules" some people like to impose dogmatically regardless of whether it makes sense in a particular case.
