Marian, Larian Studios:
*sigh*
I would have never thought that the language of pure image is so hard to understand. We have to think about that in the future...
MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!
Ascension "Blessing" cutscene
After you got sacrificed by the council of seven your spirit awakes in a divine realms on an altar. Around you the ideas of the seven gods are manifesting. You can roughly separate impish, human, elven or orcish gods...
Everyone of them grabs into their chest and puts a small part of the heart into your weightless shape. After you received all blessing the in you is fully developed and so her wings grow and she flies up to the mortal plane where she descends as the reborn hero into the wastelands.
Extro scene
You see the demon of lies dying. In fact you see the mutiliated body of janus ripped into pieces and the leftover, the sword of lies, remains. It comes closer and tries to seduce the hero. The hero is tempted to take it but refuses and sends it back to hell away from the mortal plane.
Then the hero hears the cries of the baby. Knowing that it is the lord of chaos inside the child he/she draws the dagger to kill it. In the hero's moral struggle to kill a neborn innocent child the scene fades out.
Much later you see the hero walk out victorious into the swamp area. He carries something. Loot? The child? You don't know for sure...
Somewhere on a distant hill Arhu and Zandalor watch you coming when suddenly the statue you lifted up in the sky while entering the katacombs of aleroth comes down finally...(side joke, nothing more)
We'll know in Riftrunner what has happened, takes place 20 yrs after

I thought Riftrunner was supposed to take place centuries before DD? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

No, it's definitely after. The main character of Riftrunner is a follower of the order set up by the Divine One (Your character in Divinity).

I know this thread is pretty old already, but I'm just restarting <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> after a LONG hiatus (having to wait ages for the path rather put me off the game back then), and I must say Riftrunner sounds interesting. Now I only hope they'll be careful to stay gender-neutral when referring to the Divine One in the new game, since it would REALLY annoy me to have my character referred to as male. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for the welcome. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I know you can pick your character's gender, but I wonder if references to the Divine One (i.e. Divinity's protagonist) will be gender-neutral. Of course, it would be really neat if you could tell the game that the DO was female or male, but I guess that would be too much trouble to implement if all dialog is spoken and you'd have to record all sentences that refer to the DO twice.
