Eeehh, not really. When BG came around it wasn't filled with detailed descriptions of what the Sword Coast is or what an Ogre is. They need to make the narrative in such a way as to pay homage to the lore, but also to be easily taken in by new people. Remember the betrayal that was Ultima IX? We have to avoid that. The Divine Order is The Evil Church(tm) basically. Though whether it's evil or not is yet to be revealed, but it all points that way.
Between BG 1 and BG 2 releases was about 2 years. Nevertheless, I think it is a bad idea to start with the second part.
Between D:OS 2 and DD releases will be 15 years minimum. Even if someone played all the games He can forgot some parts of history.
Sadly, but I havn't played Ultima games. It has no such big popularity in Russia as Fallout and BG.
Some month ago EA presented Ultima 8 for all origin users, but I afraid to play this series from tail.
"The Divine Order" is something like the new church of Rivellon: the praise they seven gods, but especially Lucian the Divine One, the Christfigure of Rivellon, who is the canon hero of Divine Divinity. In Divinity 2 they consisted mostly of paladins, who served under Lucian and hunted the "Black Ring", the enemy faction from the first (Divine Divinity), second (Beyond Divinity) and third game (Divinity 2)
Thank you. I've already understand that stuff in bulk. But with no shades. Keep playing BD.
By the way, looks like The Lord of Chaos slowly capture the Larian. There are games in chronological order:
Divinity Original Sin, Divine Divinity, Divinity Original Sin 2, Beyond Divinity, Divinity 2.
Bloody mess =)
Couple more games and it will be more complicated than MGS games.
