Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition

Gift Bag #5: The Four Relics of Rivellon (14 June 2020)

Hey, everyone!

Today we are releasing our biggest Gift Bag yet, The Four Relics of Rivellon!

As always, it’s delivered directly to your version of DOS2 and at no extra cost, via an update released alongside this text!

In The Four Relics of Rivellon, you’ll embark upon new quests in search of four ancient armour sets imbued with magical properties. You’ll face new foes, fight brand new fights, and even take on an entirely new Undead Dragon boss. Discover new lore, new loot, and new narration on the hunt for distant relics.

What you see of course depends on the choices you make during your adventure. Be sure to check out the trailer!

The four sets of armour are:

Captain Armour
A set of armour that can dominate the minds of those around you. Each piece also boosts Lucky Charm, Persuasion and Bartering.

Vulture Armour
A light set of armour based off of dwarven rituals. Each part of the set enhances range and damage dealt from higher ground, while the complete set gives the wearer a pair of permanent, vulture-like wings.

Contamination Armour
An ancient set of armour created from magic thought lost long ago. Each piece offers resistance to poison, while the entire set grants immunity to poison along with a special ability to spawn exploding spores that will damage enemies in combat.

Devourer Armour

A set of armour said to make its wearer almost invincible. In combat, the armour will mark a certain target in range. Any attacks on this target cannot miss and will deal extra damage.

The new content will be available in any new game you start and does not affect your achievements.

Update 3.6.48.3268b (04 September 2019)

We have two pieces of exciting news to talk about today.

First, today marks the release of a new Gift Bag: Song of Nature. There are thousands of mods out there but some have proven to be quite popular within our team and we decided to turn them into game features. Full credit for this goes to each and every mod-maker we reached out to for this to come to light. We've tried to do their ideas justice by fully integrating them into the game and developing them further. There is now a special entry in the in-game menu from which you can access all these features and the list will be extended with future Gift Bags, with original content to come.

Secondly, we have some massive news for you. If you happen to own a Nintendo Switch, then you’ll be able to take all your hundreds of hours of gameplay on the go from today. Divinity: Original Sin 2 has just been released on the Nintendo E-Shop, and it comes not only with all of the Gift Bags you’ve enjoyed on Steam, but also cross-save progression between the Switch and Steam.

It works pretty simply: once you buy DOS2 from the E-Shop and load up the game, you’ll be asked if you want to link to Steam. If you choose to, it’ll automatically grab your saves from the elusive and impenetrable Steam cloud (you’ll see how we managed this next week), and your save will be playable on the Switch. It works vice-versa, too. Finished with a game? It’ll upload the save back into the cloud. You’ll need to be connected to the internet as well as Nintendo’s online service, but you’ll need that anyway if you’re venturing into four player coop on the Switch (which is totally possible!)

We’re extremely proud to be able to bring this to the players in cooperation with Nintendo and Valve who helped us plug everything together.

Happy adventures through Rivellon,
Larian Crew

Our support team flagged a few urgent issues, so we are releasing a second hotfix to address them. Thanks to the detailed information sent in by community members, we were able to quickly track down and fix them!

Larian Crew

• Fixed Alexandar, Han and Sergeant Zrilla being hostile towards the player on the Lady Vengeance
• Fixed infinite loading screens for specific savegames
• Fixed issues with automatically unlocking the third Source Point under certain conditions. Unfortunately, this fix is not retroactive. Savegames that already have the third Source Point unlocked should be able to progress without issues, and the unlocked Source Point will not be removed by this fix.

Update v3.6.31.1571 (16 October 2018)

We're releasing a hotfix following our larger patch from last week. Some issues slipped through our net and we would like to address these with today's hotfix.
Crashing while saving in multiplayer should now be fixed and we've disabled the overhead interface that was causing visibility issues of other information on the screen.

Please keep reporting any issues you may have!

Thanks,

Larian Crew

Patch 3.0.158.595 (05 DEcember 2017)

Greetings all!

Thanks to the support and feedback from you our players, the latest patch comes chock full of fixes and updates. So, hats off to you, community. (Unless it’s a bicorne hat, in which case we may keep it firmly on our heads. Those tend to get lost.)

One feature many of you requested was the ability to turn off the automatic addition of skills or items to the hotbar. Another feature that might make life a little easier for you: having Lucky Charm on one character now applies that talent to the whole party. And lockpicks and trap disarm kits are now shared automatically via Magic Pockets!

Along with the many bug-fixes we’ve made improvements all across the game, including to the UI and to Game Master Mode. We’ve also made changes that will increase compatibility with mods. You’ll find the full list below. (Some of the fixes apply to story so beware, here lieth spoilers.)

Thanks again for your help and support, you’ve helped make 2017 an extraordinary year for Larian. We wish you all a happy and healthy holiday season.

Patch 3.0.151.229 (06 November 2017)

Hi everyone,

After our last patch, some players were still affected by a bug involving Tarquin's refusal to move on with his quest in Act 2. With this patch, his stubbornness should finally end. We've tested this patch against all of the remaining Tarquin issues in our support inbox.

Should you still have issues stopping you from seeking out Divinity, please let us know in the comments or contact us through supportdos2@larian.com.

Thank you for your patience!

• The Larian Team

Patch 3.0.150.954 (31 October 2017)

• Hi everyone,
• Unfortunately, we introduced new issues with our big patch from last week. Thanks to feedback via our support channel and forums, we were able to track down and fix the following problems:
• When the host or client had the Elemental Affinity talent, and the host was standing in a surface, the client's skillbars would be empty after loading a savegame
  After updating the stats of the Hanal Lechet Axe, some players reported it disappearing completely, instead of returning to the inventory as intended. This was due to an error in updating stats on off-hand slot weapons. This is now fixed, but unfortunately, this does not return the axe automatically.
• If you have continued your journey through Rivellon without the axe and would like it restored, please contact our support team at supportdos2@larian.com.
• We apologize for the inconvenience the issues have caused.

Patch v3.0.76.796 (24 May 2017)

A release date! New regions! Giant tentacles!

Behold one of our most exciting updates so far!

First and foremost: We have a release date! September 14th 2017 is the date on which all the content and features of Divinity: Original Sin 2 will be unleashed upon the world.

We’re hard at work finishing the game, so our patch release rate may become slower. But rest assured, it’s because we’re putting all of our resources in making Divinity: Original Sin 2 as awesome as we can. That doesn’t mean we won’t be releasing new stuff, of course! We know you’ve all been eager to progress your adventure, and with this patch we’ve added… A LOT.

Two new areas will provide a huge narrative bang. You’ll help our heroes crash land in Fort Joy and explore the next stage in their journey after they escape. Players with a profound fear of giant aquatic monstrosities, be warned!

We’ve also added relationship dialogues with companions, meaning you’ll be able to poke around in Red Prince, Sebille, Lohse, and Ifan’s heads like never before. But beware: You may not always like what you find.

Character Creation and crafting have also undergone a serious transformation. Together with the fact that you can now manage the formation of your party in a brand new interface, you’ll have plenty to try out.

You may have heard rumours of our mysterious fifth origin story - a sea-faring dwarf known only as ‘Beast’. With this update, you’ll get to meet (but not recruit) him for the first time.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of stuff you’ll get to explore in this patch, so keep reading for the full scoop. (Hint: Unique origin skills!) We can’t wait to hear your feedback on these new additions, so please keep posting and pressing the send feedback button!

Hotfix v3.0.33.118 (10 February 2017)

Note: Savegames from v3.0.31.292 are compatible with this hotfix

We're taking Games in Development as an opportunity to try out new things, but at the same time we obviously don't want to frustrate our community when it comes to general balancing, which is why we are releasing this hotfix. We want to fix the most pressing issues - specifically the economy, the longevity of certain surfaces and the removal of some control spells from the early enemies.

Balancing and design changes:

• Prices for skillbooks have been lowered
• Some early-level containers now have a higher chance to contain armor
• Electrified surfaces and ice surfaces should disappear after 3 turns
• Enemies now have a small chance of dropping a gem or other precious item
• AI does not use sucker punch at the early levels of the game anymore
• Some traders in Fort Joy will now offer more cloth armor

Bug Fixes :

• Fixed an issue with general story progression
• Fixed a crash introduced in patch 3.0.31.292. Was caught by players using feedback tool. Related to committing a crime.
