Larian Studios Forums Divinity General Discussion Re: the gore/smut

Anybody who genuinely finds the trailer disturbing (in a negative way) or even had their heart rate increase more than slightly from the disturbance is either a glowie gaslighter or the most insane, over-sensitive individual imaginable.

<insert free speech meme image>

If you found it disturbing in a good way though, then you're lucky I guess. I felt nothing watching it and wholeheartedly agree with anyone who says a no-gameplay trailer just isn't enough, plus it's super generic and nothing about it screams divinity to me. I mean not even divinity original sin.

I don't like the mask guy at all, we've never seen any character design like that previously in divinity basically, I guess aetera but not otherwise, and even she looked way different. This is not divinity, I don't trust sven for a second that this is a "passion project." At least not yet.

The problem wasn't that it was text based, look for example what Owlcat or old Bioware could do with just text, but that the older games were full of Larian Whimsy™ which drowned out all the dark elements.

I’m both.

You’ve been asked before to be respectful of forum members and this is not that. The mod team will discuss your forum privileges in the new year. Until then, feel free to show some good will.

I am all for adult rating. I think most who even played BG3 were adult. The only thing I would presume is some sort of filter / toggle or, simply a notice if they don't have a filter giving people chance to accept or not.

We need SOME games that are aimed only at an adult audience and I'm really glad to see Larian push that and its boundries again. If you develop something for a mixed audiance, you get Disney or close. Lets see what they come with.
