Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Enhanced Edition,writing going to be more serious?

I agree completely with the OP.

The only reason I'm really interested in the EE is the chance that the storyline will make a bit more damn sense, instead of being soooo clownish. It's like the writer thinks he's Yahtzee or something, and takes it to extreme at every opportunity.
The small dialogues being funny is fine while the general story is kept to some extent sane, but the over-plot is so insanely goofy and gamey that it was just ughhhhhhhh..
It's not that it's "somewhat 'zany'", which is fine I guess... It's that it's completely over the top ridiculously stupid on pokemon levels.
The problem really starts when there is no longer any human motivation in the story --- it's all the ridiculous plots of emotionless god beings or whatever. A story is engaging when there are human motivations in it, when the enemy is human.

I really hope the story is changed such that it feels serious.


My best moments with this game was the first act, where the writing was a bit more contained, the mystery was interesting, there was a murder case, and though some writing was silly, the enemies around you were hard enough that you felt like it was a serious situation.
Then it devolves into ridiculous cartoonishness which made me completely lose all interest. The only thing that kept me going was the fun combat and how awesome the first chapter was
