I only just now pledged into the Kickstarter. I heard about the game at some conference a long time ago (E3 maybe?) and thought, "hell yes, I can't wait for this!" But had no idea it was a Kickstarter until I saw AngryJoe's little gameplay demo/interview today.
Very cool.
Anyway, I'm curious about a couple of things that I haven't really seen detailed in any of the kickstarter media or official site. Maybe these are things that have been discussed elsewhere that you guys might be aware of?
First: the game takes place in the same setting as the prior Divinity games, correct? I assume it's not a direct sequel to anything, but is it placed after the most recent game (Dragon Knight Saga, I think)?
Second: any word on side-questing? I'm wondering, will we see actual, decent sidequests (e.g. w/ narrative, player choice, dialog interaction, etc.) ala the old, classic CRPGs, or will they just be insufferably simple collection quests?
Third: Do henchmen have any personality? Special dialog/banter? I know the game is built so multiple players can "speak" in online play, but what about single-player?
I've already pledged my monies, so it's not like these questions are important enough to determine whether or not I purchase the game (raw gameplay sold me the moment I first saw it), but still, I would like to know about these things.
