I dunno, it's what always made Divinity what it is for me: the series managed a really good mix of humour and poignancy, and didn't skimp on either. I think they were definitely the better for it; other games like the Fallouts and Dragon Ages managed their share of humour, but the particular blend of humour and seriousness are Divinity's hallmarks. I'd be disappointed to see the ridiculousness dialled down. There aren't many games like it; in fact Sacred 2 is the only one I can think of offhand.
