I started with the Divinity series back in 2004 when I picked up Divine Divinity (after ignoring it for a couple of years due to the title). It completely blew me away with its epic story, amazing gameplay, fantastic 2D graphics, and with something else that I couldn't put my finger on at the time.
Having played each of Larian's Divinity titles since then, each game has had that certain something which I used to call the "Larian je ne sais quoi". But as I've grown older and I've watched studios rise, fall, and fizzle out into bankruptcy/EA or Activision acquisition, I've narrowed down what it is that Larian puts into each of their games which sets them apart; it's their heart. Larian opens themselves up, and like all great artists, they bear their heart and weave it into each game.
Having spent about 20 hours with D:OS2, I feel like they may have outdone themselves with this game. I'm not saying that there aren't bugs to be fixed and refinements to be made (but this is Larian, so we know all of that will be addressed), but the amount of love that was poured into every possible aspect of this project is overwhelming.
This post may get buried and lost forever here on the forums, but I wrote this with the hope that at least one person from Larian will see it. Thank you! Thank you for coming together and creating something that transcends the genre and the medium and is just magical.
I have been, and will always be, a Larian fan for life!
