Actually Divinity Original Sin will be released on the 20th of June, I 
am 5 hours into the game so far, and it is very good, my positive early 
impression still stands. Anyway I gotta stop playing now, because since 
it is beta there is a chance that the saves still are wiped, and I do 
not want to replay to much of the game again.
