Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Any Divine Divinity vetereans here? Opinions?

I disagree Spaghetti man, Divine Divinity had similar combat to Diablo but it wasn't a Diablo clone.

DD had a deep story, dialogue options, choices in quests, an open world and interactivity with the environment. The only thing reminiscent of Diablo was the combat but everything else was unique.

I still think Divine Divinity is the best Divinity game yet. Original Sin feels very similar to it but it's not the same. The first game had an amazing atmosphere and the story (IMO) was greater. As the OP said too, in the first game, the whole world was open from the start and it felt more non-linear, the quests were greater (and more open) and there was just so much to see and do in the world.

Of course Original Sin will be more polished as it's newer but there's a charm about the original game that I haven't experienced in any other game since. I first played DD a few years back so it's still fresh in my memory too.

Still, Original Sin feels very closer to what the original game achieved and feels more like it than Divinity II did.
