I also agree with the person who said that sex and romance was the reason for a lack of diversity in the companion cast. We should have gotten Helia the halfling (she even had voiced dialogue) and we got Halsin the (yet another) elf. And I think that attarction played a role here. Most companions turned out to be interesting anyway. Though I hope for more diversity in the Divinity game.


I think gore and smut should not be the focus, but a tool for a well written story, if needed. That scene in the trailer was a pretty effective way to deal with both of them and I'm pretty sure, that the game will not be a gore fest or a sex game, so I'm not too worried.

I agree that the lack of variety with regards to companions is a weakness. If they can't make interesting companions that aren't conventionally attractive, I consider that a shortcoming. But one weakness or shortcoming doesn't tank the entire game, it's just a flaw in an otherwise great production. But when a flaw involves romance or sex, it seems to get blown way out of proportion.

I am sure Divinity will have its flaws, creators make mistakes. But I can easily look past a few flaws if the overall quality is great.
