Larian Studios Forums Divinity General Discussion So why play Divinity ?

For anyone who has played any Divinity game in the past and is looking forward to the new one, why exactly do you like it ?

Or, if you only want to play the new one, what are you hoping for ?

Also, do you recomment any of the older Divinity titles ?

Keep in mind that the old divinity and divinity: original sin are very different things.

Divinity 2 lets you turn into a dragon and is the successor to Drakan we never got.

At this point I don't know what to expect from this new Divinity, so I need to learn more.

My hope is that they learn from BG3 and create a stronger Divinity game as a result.

As to what could be exciting about Divinity vs BG4 = I didn't think Larianisms gelled well with D&D5, while Divinity's Original Sins were designed from the ground up around Larian's ideals for a cRPG - little RPG, externalizing status effects into interactable surfaces and utilizing battlefield more. At this point, I am curious to learn what system will Larian craft for this new Divinity. I expect some big changes from Sin series - I am just not sure what they could be. I could come up with my preferences, but that would be wishful thinking at this point.

In my book, Larian is getting better with each turn based cRPG they make, so I hope this new Divinity will be on another level once again.

I would play a successor to that, too. Right away. But that’s not what I expect Divinity to be.

But for Divinity:

- They don’t pull any punches.
- Romance (yes, I hope so -- BG3 was a massive improvement over what I’ve seen in my first 30 hours of D:OS2 now).
- Hard decisions (and save spamming …).
- A game I can get lost in -- and then find that I actually already played later parts of the story just because I loved exploring (but still have a gripping story).
- Get emotionally invested in the characters.
- A story that incorporates my decisions.
