I don't want to disappoint everyone here but my personnal thought is that Atlas will have finished Divine Divinity before the release of Beyond Divinity.

@ Atlas
You took a good decision by beginning with Divine Divinity because it's a very great game, it's not expensive (budget version) and you would have regrets one day not having played all the RPG in the Divinity Universe.
After Beyond, the Larian people are planing to create a lot of other games in the Divinity Universe.
