I had been a fan of Larial divinity series since their first game title "Divinity : The Sword of Lies" and was excited to see that there will be continuation with this new game, but one thing from their EN_Divinity Announcement Press Release got me worried, to be specific from those pagaragraphs :
While Divinity is a brand new game that doesn’t require experience with previous Larian titles, those who’ve played Divinity: Original Sin and Divinity: Original Sin 2 will be able to enjoy greater understanding and continuity.
Swen Vincke, founder and game director of Larian Studios, said “Despite our long history with the series, this is our first game entitled ‘Divinity.’ We’re ready to bring everything we’ve done previously into one place. This marks the beginning of something with more breadth, depth, and intimacy than anything we’ve created before. We’ve been building toward this moment ever since we took our fate into our own hands. This is the Divinity we’ve always wanted to make and you're going to have loads of fun with it.”
So, does it meant that all non D:OS(1|2) divinity games will have little to no impact to the plot of this new game and we will get massive retcons outside of their main plotpoints (like Lucian's accention) or they will be attentively integrated? For example, we still haven't heard anything since the first game about vampires, dragon riders, legendary dragon set armor or artifact of unimaginable power - "Eye of cyclops"; what was the deal with the most creepy and mysterious character of Beyond Divinity, possibly the whole series, the Oracle Tree or what the fate of raanaar?
Will this game unify all this stuff, does Highlander-2 with it or something in the middle?
