IO'm just re-reading the whole interview too!
'
Sometimes things happen when you perform ordinary actions like lighting or extinguishing a torch'
DAMMIT!
THat would have helped me when I got stuck in the 2nd floor of act 1.
And just for further examination by the forum here's what we need to study for clues!
Silven Crossroads: Can you confirm that there will be a Divinity 2? Or say anything about it yet?
Swen: Yes, there definitely will be a Divinity 2.
Silven Crossroads: And can you speak about the “secret project” that was alluded to in the entry on RPG Vault when you talked about your “busy day”?
Swen: Um, that is still a secret  .. but it is not an RPG.
Silven Crossroads: Aw, that’s a bit disappointing!
Swen: But we’re not abandoning the RPG. We are making Divinity 2!
Silven Crossroads: Is there anything else you want to tell me about Beyond Divinity that I haven’t already asked?
Swen: Oh, I could talk for hours about the game! There is so much in the game and so many new things, that I believe we have made a very good game, one that many people will enjoy.
Silven Crossroads: Thank you so much for taking the time to talk with me, and thank you especially for making this game. I am anxious to see the final version. I think I’ll go play the demo again while I wait for the real thing!
Swen & Sandra: You’re welcome! And thank you for taking an interest in our game.
