Divinity: Original Sin is an incredible game but runs like complete arse so I hope that second one will be better as a game and even better performance-wise.
It runs beautifully on my ~$450 laptop.
im hyped, the first one was great. can't wait to play the extended edition as well sometime.

Gotta ask what you're running it on, because it ran wonderfully on my 6 year old PC when I was playing it earlier this year. (I have since upgraded)

2 yr old laptop - Intel Core i7(2.4GHz), nVidia GeForce GT 645M(2GB), DDR3 8GB RAM. It barely ever went beyond 40FPS on medium and usually dropped to 20. We noticed that FPS drops immediately when a friend joins you in-game - my friend's game was running at around 30 and then I joined and it dropped to 20 and barely ever went back up.

It runs fine on my Desktop 560Ti, but runs a bit like bum on my 650m Laptop, I suspect it just doesn't use the graphics card for some reason and instead uses the tosstacular integrated chip.
I'm rocking an AMD A10-5650M with ~Radeon HD Graphics~ (Radeon HD 8650g).
It runs pretty well for me on the lappy. Even better on desktop.

To be honest the 645 isn't really a gaming card. Some broadwell integrated chips are performing pretty much as well.
it kind of depresses me how much effort went into Original Sin, because it's so close to being the kind of game I'd love but the turn based combat really doesn't do anything for me. the fact that a turn based game managed to hold my attention for more than an hour is a testament to how good original sin is. I also feel like they kind of wasted a lot of resources making a very polished coop mode for a game that hardly benefits from coop at all.

I think it ran like ass, too, but one of the patches solved it for me, ran perfect from then on
I keep trying to play it but I have no fucking clue what I am doing.
As someone who literally never followed the Divinity Original Sin at all, is it a good game?
It's a turn based game right? People seem pretty excited about it in general
I started playing yesterday and it is the most fun I've had with an RPG ever.

It's very good. I never finished it (we got close to the end but decided to take a break, now with the enhanced edition announced it seems better to wait for that than finish our current game), but it has some really fun gameplay (turn-based, AP-based tactical combat, with an emphasis on environmental and status effects), a neat world and well-implemented co-op (both players get to participate in decisions and conversations, including some with each other's characters. The co-op is 2-player, but there's a mod that makes it 4-player, though the extra 2 players probably don't get to participate in decisions and conversations).
i kinda hated the game becouse i had no idea what i was doing but as soon i started to figure it out i came in love with it, plus the beach and tropical environments were really detailed

I thought it was the perfect co-op game, I sunk hours into it with a friend.
I wish there were more like it.
