Nice. I imagine the sandstorm wall will look even more menacing once it's got all kinds of fancy lighting and whatnot.

On a scale from mild inconvenience to Conan Exiles, how thoroughly is getting caught in a sandstorm to ruin your day?
Nice teaser, keep them coming!
To touch Divinity, one must be prepared to brave Reality.
Looks great !
I'd love to see in a game like that, creatures living only in the storms. Like elusive flying bloodsuckers. Fearsome, very defensive and hard to catch... dreaming with open eyes
This was a nice surprise.
It was posted in the mmorpg forums and seemed to get a good reception. More videos like this, showing off the world and weather effects like that bad arse sandstorm would really help the games PR.
Also as one of the other people over there out down, treats like this video would be alot better recieved than half baked shiny things 😁

Surprised no one has asked the important question yet: Were those goats? Gazelles?
looked like goats I guess

Q: What was the red sand hourglass about?
It's a stand-in for the Fatigue display; it's functional but it's all just placeholder designer art and not necessarily indicative of the final display. In this version, as your fatigue grows the sand slips from the top half of the hourglass to the bottom. Fatigue grows throughout the day and you have less and less energy as it does.
You can push it back by resting (and where and how you rest affects how well you push it back) but, if you don't, it will eventually overcome you and you'll pass out. And sooner or later your character will straight up have to sleep. There's a limit to what a quick break can do for you.

Heh, that actually depends on how well you're prepared for it and how bad it is. If you're properly prepared, e.g. you're wearing the right clothes and have some sort of protection for your face and eyes, a typical sandstorm mostly going to hinder your movement and your ability to see. If you're unprepared, your going to have some serious problems that could even be life threatening. Especially if the sandstorm is particularly strong. Sandstorms aren't fully functional yet - you didn't see the player's character leaning into the wind or shielding their eyes as they try to move through it, for example, but other weather systems like rain storms are further along so let me use those as an example:
Some simple rain isn't really going to do much on its own. It might make you a little colder which could be a problem if it's already cold out and, sure, it might slow you down on some terrain types as soil gets muddy, for example, but generally it's a mild inconvenience. However, as the rain intensifies so does its impact. The ground gets muddier, moving over it takes more effort and energy drain and fatigue starts to increase. The effect on your body temperature picks up too, and now maintaining homeostasis is more difficult. Stay out long enough and you could suffer the effects of exposure, or conditions could weaken your immune system making you more susceptible to a disease. Finally, as the full fury of the storm intensifies, we both scale up all of those effects, and layer on environmental hazards such as hail and lightning that themselves could damage or injure your character.
The same is intended with sandstorms. Most people will want to seek shelter immediately, and they'll be right to want that.
Hope that helps! :)
So, how many of those plants are currently harvestable/have a use or WILL BE harvestable and have a use?
