I been playin this the last couple days and am hooked. Its an isometric RPG in the style of Baldur's Gate. Turn based combat. Totally open world and you can do almost anything you can think of. You can kill every NPC in the game and still finish it. Check it out.

That actually looks pretty sweet, thanks for posting. I will wait for an Ole69'r review though, LARPers will have the sccop on these sort of games.

I wish games like this would make PS4/XBOX consoles.
I have a very powerful Hackintosh, but I want something that I can drag over to the couch and play. I'm also looking for good controllers that map their controls well.
Hit me up with some ideas.

What specifically are you looking for it to be on consoles? I mean Divinity is more detailed but the gameplay feels like Diablo 3 a bit. There are all sorts of great games like this, albeit not on the current gen consoles most of them are still old console PS3 and such. Dragon's dogma is one that comes to mind a bit from the game above. As far s controllers that map... I assume you mean for your mac. I would just google it because I don't have much knowledge and from what I've seen they all end up being about the same if you don't go cheap. Like Bot said wireless keyboard and mouse are always the way to go on PC gaming, but if you're looking for space while sitting on the couch it's not always convenient.

Xbox controller is supported by almost every game on PC now. Shit, a lot of games are just ports and sometimes the controls are designed for a gamepad. But I doubt you would get a game like Divinity to work with a gamepad. And even if you did, it would probably be pretty annoying. You do a lot of cursor moving.
