I still got the entire Divine Divinity soundtrack in my head...and I was hoping to hear more of his fantastic work in future projects of Larian. His death is a big loss to this company and to everyone who likes good music. RIP.
Such a bad news, when I saw this thread up I thought it would be something about the enhanced edition, a release date or something. Fuck this shit. I remember back before D:OS release date, Larian announced they would add older and unreleased music made by Kirill that they've had remastered by someone else. He didn't do any new music for D:OS because of medical reasons. Most likely he was fighting some fucked up illnes for a long time.
Future Divinity games won't be the same without him.
He belonged to that small elite of the best video game composers ever existed in my opinion, his soundtracks were more than just music, they were art, a Larian trademark really. RIP

Ready for E3?
E3 is just around the corner, and we have some big questions to answer. Can we bring an RPG to the console? Can we recreate the same fantastic Original Sin experience if you're relaxing in your living room, holding a controller? Will it still feel as natural as a mouse and keyboard?
Ever since Divinity: Original Sin launched, we've been working hard on the Enhanced Edition to ensure that playing on a console feels as smooth and intuitive as it does on a PC. On top of that, we’ve also been adding plenty of content such as new quests, new puzzles, voices for every character, and a host of other improvements.
Now we're ready to share the results with the world.
You can see the Enhanced Edition in action on the Twitch E3 Show (Monday 15th), or you can drop by the Game Trailers show on Tuesday, the IGN show on Wednesday - to hear every detail about the fantastic new features that the Enhanced Edition brings to Original Sin!
And if you're a member of the media, or an established Youtuber/Twitch streamer, we still have some free time slots to let you experience the Enhanced Edition for yourself! Journalists should contact Tom Ohle of EvolvePR (tom@evolve-pr.com) to book a slot.
We’ll be sharing a lot of Divinity:Original Sin Enhanced Edition news at E3, so if you want to be sure you don’t miss out on anything, follow us on Twitter and Facebook. Rumor has it that images will be released of the behind-the-scenes bacchanal parties at the Larian house!
Can You Travel To Ghent, Belgium?
We only announced Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition a few weeks ago, but we’ve already been inundated with requests from Source Hunters anxious to play right now. And we want to make that happen. So, we’re delighted to invite a few brave testers to our HQ in Ghent, Belgium, to grapple with the game. If you can travel here, we’d love you to come over and try out new our gameplay modes, rewritten story, and brand new quests!

- All testing will take place using console controllers.
A cRPG Bonanza!
June 2nd saw the launch of The Bard’s Tale IV: the latest inXile Kickstarter campaign, which follows on from the immensely successful Wasteland 2 and Torment: Tides of Numenera. A cRPG dungeon crawler that promises dynamic combat, knotty puzzles and fiendish riddles, all set to a gorgeous Gaelic musical accompaniment? Yes please! It’s close to being funded, so why not head over to their Kickstarter page and see if they can tempt you to break open your piggy-banks? Please check Bard Tale IV in-engine video.
But it’s not just Bards and celtic tunes; we wouldn’t be Larian if we weren’t excited by the promise of broken worlds and apocalyptic creatures! Umbra is another isometric cRPG that’s caught our eye, promising fast-paced action, frantic magic, and hordes of enemies to vanquish. With an open world to explore, a crafting system that lets you create unique weapons, and a chance to turn your character into a highly customisable Apocalyptic avatar, we definitely think this is one to watch. You’d better hurry though, their Kickstarter campaign ends in just a few days!
Divinity: Original Sin was released over a year ago. The game received quite a lot of credits and I suppose sold rather well as Larian Studios decided that they would overhaul the game to make it an even better experience.

To make it possible to use the game on these consoles quite some changes to the user interaction were needed.

Swen states that the new controller interface works so well that at Larian Studios offices the team generally prefers to play the game with a controller on their PC instead of a keyboard and mouse.

The reason to make the enhanced edition was to move the game to consoles, but with the success of Original Sin, they had the opportunity to also improved the game making it worthwhile to play it again on a PC as the added changes make it a better game than it was.

Swen thinks that a lot of the older Baldur's Gate players are on console now. He himself also prefers to play at home on a console than move to his desk to start up his PC.

who the hell turns off his PC?
I dont mind my consoles but i really dont find them more convenient than my PC really. We've come a long way since DOS and having to write the .bat and .sys files.
