Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General did you change the beginning of the game?

By definition, games in development change. This can often include the beginning.

However, what you are referring to is video from what was always called the SECOND area, the area after escaping from Fort Joy. That was never the actual starting area, even back then they were at least going to have a tutorial dungeon before you reached the second area. It seems like Fort Joy was expanded somewhat from the initial description.
