What kind of crpg is this? Top down style works for me. Is it a loot game or a traditional crpg?

It's a turn-based, two-player RPG with quests and stories.

At the end of the video he says there will be a way for people to get early access, but only after the kickstarter backers get their chance

The lack of music and some sound effects bothered me a lot more than I thought it would.  :-\

That's really the biggest problem right now, no music and limited sound effects really hurt the immersion [which is a big part of most RPGs for me], so it's hard to really dive head first into this game. By no means is it a bad game, it's simply not currently in a state where I feel like I can get the most out of it. And really, the music in the Divinity series is always really top-notch, so it's absence is very noticeable.

Having said that, here are some things that I liked from the little bit that I've messed around with:

-Being able to role-play two separate characters. In nearly every dialog, you're presented with the ability to choose responses for each of your two characters, allowing them to agree or disagree on just about everything. And it's not just window-dressing, the responses provide small bonuses and subtly nudge the personality of each character in one way or another.

-The city near the beginning of the game is REALLY BIG. Lots of opportunities to explore and get into trouble.

-Small quests that pop up occasionally. As you arrive in town, you see people rush to the docks where a ship is on fire. If you've got an appropriate spell, you can douse the flames. If not, you get to watch it burn to ashes. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this sort of thing as the game goes along.

-Combat's a little simple, but you're given plenty of skills and the like to mess around with.

I really want to play this game in all it's finished glory.

Yep, i'm not trying to play this shit with other people

I'll probably do both.

I like my stories, but I also enjoy that chaotic element that having other people play brings.

Ehhhhh. I'm pretty picky about who I play games with. I definitely don't do randos, and even people I know I will verbally tongue lash them if I think they're being stupid. Which makes for awesome interactions when I do something stupid 15 minutes later, but whatever.

This game fucking owns in co-op. There's a lot of cool little things you can do, like have one player distract an NPC, while the other sneaks around and loots chests.

I also like the way they handled decision making with multiple players. If you and another player disagree over some course of action, you play a rock-paper-scissors minigame to determine what decision is made.

Tonight consisted of a lot of art thievery, and murder mystery solving. It ended in a hilarious bang when we attempted some ill-fated gravedigging.

I enjoyed playing PoE with PD, but generally I just like to fly solo. I faff around and dont take a lot of shit seriously in games, so I think its unfair to people trying to do their thing while im derping around. Unless im playing Mario Wii U with Shaka, then ill purposefully play bad to (Image removed from quote.)

Original Sin is actually designed so that the two players can part ways whenever they want to and go off to do their own thing. If the characters are far enough apart, one can join a turn-based battle while the other continues to roam around freely in real time.

When is it coming out and can I play a tank.

Official released date in June 20, and you can play as a wide variety of classes.

It's 20% off during the summer sale, get it if you've been wanting it because the official release is just 10 days away and it's probably not going to be any cheaper than that:

PD. This is a traditional rpg. So far I think the only traditional rpg you've played is Final Fantasy IV and Skyrim. You need more turn based RPGs on your palette.

So, if you ask yourself "Is Divinity: Original Sin right for me?" then consider whether you would want Dragon Age But Not Garbage And With More Content Also It's Lighthearted Instead Of Being Grimdark.
