Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Short question on the main picture

Hello,

towards Larian I have a short question :

The main picture shows both protagonists - but it appears to me as if the woman was missing one arm. It is at least obscured.

Was this intentional ? Or is it just a matter of too dark graphics ?

I'm wondering.

After Beyond Divinity already featured two protagonists who were able to carry both two-handed-weapons and one-handed-weapons, I´d say we´re going to have a whole new experience in the RPG genre by also playing as a handycapped (amputated) female character to make the player face some of the real problems of our world.

In the ingame dialogs we´re going to face not just medieval antifeminism but also some really hard Teratophobia which is going to bring you further in the emotional world of a handycapped warrior.

~ Great idea IMO !

Ahahaha.. what.

At least one of the concept art pictures shows her crossing her arms and rolling her eyes, so she probably has both hands.

That's the one...

This is my favorite concept art In my head it goes like this.

Guy: "Hey, wanna go out for pizza?"

Girl: "Seriously? Did you really just say pizza? Can't think of anything more creative?"

Guy: "What? What'd I do?....Sheesh"

Anthea

Any chance for hi-res version?

It's like they're at marriage counseling...

Guy: "I mean I just don't know what to do. I try to please her in every possible way and I give her everything she wants but then she just acts like this..."

Girl: "That's because you're not the sexy hot handsome Beyond Divinity hero!"

Guy: "Are you listening to this counselor? Can you tell her that Larian killed the BD hero off? Love! He's dead! Deal with it!"

Girl: "Never!"

The Beyond Divinity hero - dead but not forgotten...

For that image, I pictured him saying something along the lines of "Can you believe the s^$& I have to put up with?"

(I don't know what she said just before that, but that's how I imagine his response.)

Lovely picture !

Here: scroll the pictures.

According to E3 video there's a relationship mechanic in the game and indeed the two main characters are quite different in disposition, so this relationship is likely influenced depending on the decisions you make in the game. So they either grow closer or further apart (which influences the ending of the game, maybe).

I wonder whether that's the meaning behind that piece of artwork with the rift between two characters.

Romance.

Two sides ...

Two Kind.

sorry >_>

Two friends for life
... to death ...

Split personality disorder, actually one of the 2 is in the imagination of the other one. And thus actually there is only 1 protagonist.

Oh, and at the end the entire game was just a dream.

Oh, and they were dead the entire time.

Who leaked the script ?

Oh yeah, let's take ideas from:

As long as it's not from Twilight, it is OK

Bella is HOT.

Guys, guys, did you see this?



Look closely ...

Sneaky.

Is it supposed to be that small or is it a thumbnail?

I find it strange the main graphic is of them holding hands. This says to me (or more importantly to a casual fan) that there is a romance between the two main characters. i.e. not really optional.

Cause if there is the option not to have one, then the main graphic makes no sense as a direct representation of this game as I choose to play it. So it's kinda weird they went for that one as the main cover art. Or is this likely to change for the game when it comes out?

It's obviously a bromance first.

I think the archetype of the (male) player as an "lonely wolf going out into the world and kills everyone who tries to hinder him becoming a half-god" is a but overused now.

Arhu is back! I knew it will come true since his...

Actually, he is not 'back'. D:OS is set before the events of DD and DKS. Though in regards to your spoiler,

On the top could bebe Der Adler, a forum member who was active during early development, was planned to be included in the Wasteland part, but was in the end cut.

Speaking of - I've got my copy of the poster from Gamercastdotnet raffle. Yay.

So she's a he? Interesting. First game with transgender main character?

When I saw the male character in the pictures, something remind me to..



For who don't know who is him, is the In Extremo vocalist Michael Robert Rhein, "strange"(wtf)

Wait and that's Zandalor too!

I hope that he's more like his Divine Divinity self and not Divinity II. I liked him in Divinity 2 but he was a far more deeper and badass character in Divine Divinity. For one, he showed more emotion and felt more like a friend rather than a mentor. The fact that he felt more like a friend really agrees with what he says in Divinity 2 about The Divine One.

I liked the fact that he saves you at the beginning, then you save him and then he saves you later on once again. I even remember that you could get into a bit of an argument with him in the Council. In Divinity 2, he was completely different, not that a character should remain the same as time progresses and there's plenty that has happened since Divine Divinity for him to have changed but what with Original Sin being before Divine Divinity, he should be more like how he was during that time.

So less epic and extraordinary speeches and more emotion and wisdom.

Here's an example of what I would like to see from Zandalor in Original Sin:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_70IiZ4N-yQ

When he was shouting at Damien in The Battle Tower, he did sound similar to his old self but he didn't display as much anger. You'd think he'd by mighty mad at Damien for all that he has done, his old self would have been.

Yeah, can't disagree on this one. While Zandalor is second plane character and I want to stay him in this role, I still would love to see more of him, more interaction with main hero and other characters, more involvement in the story.

I hated Zandalor's look in Ego Draconis..

Same here. Same here. They need to make him look more like his avatar in Divine Divinity.
