Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Some criticism to narrative/dialogues/writing

I think we'll see more of this with mods. Writing dialogue for a commercial game is tricky, as it is very subjective. What some perceive as snarky, others perceive as biting or cruel. On the flip side, what other's perceive as g-rated, disney-esque, others perceive as old-school, classic storytelling.

Very few developers have gone the Black Isle/Obsidian mature route, as it can be difficult riding that line between salty and salacious. There's also the matter of writing for a multiplayer experience. There will be a lot of people who play this in co-op (husband/wife, father/son, etc.) and getting into more adult subject matter is not always the best approach in those cases.

I'm enjoying the game but agree the writing style is pretty straight-down-the-middle at times, but the rest of the game is far from typical which is making it very enjoyable. I look forward to more mature, "edgy" mods from the community.
