Larian Studios pulled the curtain back on both a Macintosh version (which we already knew, right?) and a new collector's edition of Divinity: Original Sin, and while it sounds like the CE is going to be identical to the version that we pledged our money for during their Kickstarter campaign, it's still going to be limited to a total of 3000 copies. Get in while you still can, particularly if you're a Mac user who didn't realize the action RPG was going to be an option for you:
Massive Divinity: Original Sin Collector's Edition Announced: Includes Four Games, RPG Dice, and More; Mac Version Also Announced
As Divinity: Original Sin nears its June 20th release date, the team at Larian Studios unveils a limited-supply Collector's Edition, featuring four Divinity titles, an RPG dice set, and more. Additionally, a massive new update to the game's beta on Steam Early Access unlocks a fully-functioning version for Mac.
PC and Mac players can now also play together on-the-go with the newly-implemented "Laptop Optimized" mode.
About the Collectors Edition
Of the 3,000 English-language units of the Collector's Edition, 1,500 have been claimed by Kickstarter backers.
The remaining 1,500 are available for 69.99 EUR, exclusively at www.larianvault.com.

About the Mac Version
The Mac version features full Retina support, an improved (Laptop Optimized) mode, and support for a wide range of systems. Purchase of either the Mac or PC version of the game grants you access to both versions.
The minimum system required is Mac OS X 10.8/10.9 with 4GB of memory. The game will run on Intel HD 3000 & 4000 graphics cards, but those should be considered minimum requirements. For integrated chipsets like Intel Graphics, we highly recommend 8GB of memory.
