Alpha access available!
Before you rush in and get your alpha code, please watch/read the following messages. We know, you most likely won't, but still, there's some important stuff in here. The most important thing is:
If you want a a smooth, balanced & stable experience without performance problems, wait for release! Seriously!
What is in the Alpha?
About 10 to 15 hours of gameplay.
What's not in the Alpha?
Quite a lot. Currently co-operative mode is disabled, as are the companions. We're still working on getting schedules in, so those are not in either. Sound & music are still very much work in progress too. Further, there's a very long list of features that are not 100% working yet, or just not in yet. This really is alpha, with plenty of stuff unfinished.
What are the known issues?
Too many to list - we made a short summary for you but really, there's a lot of things that still need to be done.
How can I help?
We are testing the game ourselves so there's no need for sending us reports on bugs that are obvious. But we are very interested in those that are not so obvious. What makes a non- obvious bug? Well, something you don't see immediately, something that requires you to do a certain amount of things to trigger it.
You'll know it when you see it
If the game crashes, we would appreciate it if you could send us your crash report. It helps us locate the problem.
When can I expect an update to the Alpha?
We might still do a few emergency patches in the coming days, but then we're taking our X-mas break. The next big update is scheduled for January and will be a feature/balance update. Most likely, big feature candidates to be included then are companions and cooperative play.
We'll keep you posted.
Getting Alpha Access
Our recommendation really is that you never use the information below. This really is only for people who are interested in impacting development with their feedback or that are interested in helping us with balancing and bug fixing. If that's not your profile, please wait - you'll do yourself a favour! We can't repeat that enough!
Right, by now you've been warned enough, so let's get to it. Here are the instructions on how to get your alpha key. We would appreciate it if you don't distribute or sell it if you don't plan on using it.
1. Log in to the Larianvault: https://www.larianvault.com (*)
2. Click on the D:OS Kickstarter link in the top menu
3. In your list of rewards, you will find an item called "Divinity: Original Sin Alpha Access" with an ALPHA logo next to it
4. Click on the "Now accepts your input" link
5. Next to Alpha, click on the OK button to accept Alpha on Steam (there is no other distribution possibility)
6. Next to Alpha, click on the link "Available! Claim now! (Steam)" to get your personal Steam key for ALPHA
7. A Steam key will be assigned to you. This key can only be used once. To redeem it, open the Steam application. In Steam, click on the "Games" menu, and choose "Activate a Product on Steam". You can copy paste the key in this wizard to activate the ALPHA build of Divinity: Original Sin
(*) If you don't have a Larianvault account yet, you will need to create one and then link your Kickstarter backer profile (or Paypal backer profile) to that account.
To do so, create a Larianvault account, and click on the D:OS Kickstarter link in the top menu.
Fill in the email address you use to sign in to Kickstarter or the email address you use to sign in to Paypal if you backed through Paypal. (If you get an error message, please verify spelling of the email address and verify that this is really the email address used on Kickstarter or Paypal.)
To verify that it is really you that is trying to link the backer profile, you will have to click on a link that is sent to you via email. Once that is done, you will see your Kickstarter profile with a list of your rewards.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- If you added money to get alpha as an addon, you will notice that the alpha addon now costs zero dollars and you have money left to spend.
- If you want to have a refund of your addon alpha pledge, please contact [email protected] as we will need your account information.
- It is recommended you change your Larianvault password as soon as you are logged in.
- Alpha is only available on Steam. This does not however limit your distribution platform choice when the final game comes out. You can join in on the Steam Alpha now and still choose GOG as your final distribution platform.
- The Alpha build on Steam will stop working once the final game is out.
- Backers that have a duo pack only receive one Alpha key. We might change that once the cooperative mode is active in the Alpha build, but that is still to be decided.

It always has to be spiders, doesn't it? I really wish spiders hadn't become the "default enemy" in almost all RPG's. Why not try something original, just making them bigger isn't going to change anything 
Other than that, this looks incredible; a good spiritual successor to Divine Divinity. There's been a lot of hit and miss from Larian, usually because they're overambitious. Ahem, looking at you Divinity 2. Can't wait to try this one out.

I've been playing the beta since I got it, and I absolutely love it so far.

Was going to let this one slide into bargain before getting it, but with each update it seems to be getting better and better. -_-
Damn you Eugene for posting all these tempting videos!!
C'mon steam, have another 20% off on this
It seems unlikely it will go on sale again, but perhaps you'll be lucky.

Won't be able to get it for a while, I'm hoping they release a physical copy though, but I will get it eventually even if they don't. Maybe with the Christmas Sale this year...
