All Things Divinity

[Zed Clampet]

Want to spend the next few years discussing a game that hasn't been released yet? This is the place.

See any stories or videos about Divinity? Post them here.

I'll try to help, but chances are I'll forget I made this thread in about 5 minutes. Nevertheless, here we go....

The grotesque announcement trailer:

Everything We Know About Divinity (link)​

Larian reveals Divinity, its 'biggest game ever,' that will be 'even larger than Baldur's Gate 3'

The news was slightly spoiled by a trademark filing spotted earlier this week.

Divinity is 'past pre-production' and already recording actors, but don't read too much into that: Swen Vincke says Larian will be 'recording non-stop'

"That gives you an idea of the ambition."

So it's in full development. That bodes well for this hitting early access some time this decade.

'It's not a clone of D:OS2': 6 big takeaways from our interview with Larian after the reveal of Divinity

What is Divinity's combat like, what does "more ambitious" than Baldur's Gate 3 mean, how far into development is it, and more questions answered.

Divinity's trailer is cool, but I suspect Larian's body-horror Burning Man splatfest doesn't set an accurate tone for the full game—and if I'm right, it'll be weird that it's happened twice

Hey, cinematic designers—you guys okay?

Divinity will officially wave goodbye to Original Sin 2's broken armour system

Now, Larian, are Action Points returning?

www.pcgamer.com

I'm not a big fan of action points, but I admit to being confused a few times why my characters in BG3 couldn't do something.

Baldur's Gate 3 composer Borislav 'Bobby' Slavov is coming back for Divinity: 'We wouldn't be able to stop him even if we wanted to'

Slavov's return was confirmed, twice, during today's AMA.

If the only Larian game you've played is Baldur's Gate 3, here's what you need to know about the Divinity series

The full rundown on Larian's Divinity games, which ones you should actually play, and the ideal order.

Swen Vincke says there's 'definitely more pressure' to nail Divinity after the critical acclaim of Baldur's Gate 3

You might think making the sequel to the most popular D&D game ever was as high pressure as it gets, but nope.

Divinity's reveal trailer was brutal and dark for a reason, Larian's writing director says: 'We want to give players the opportunity to be the light in that darkness'

But not in the way that those dudes who got burned alive in the trailer were lighting up the darkness, I suppose.

Swen Vincke says the price of RAM and SSDs means Larian will be doing lots of optimisation in Divinity's early access 'that we didn't necessarily want to do at that point in time'

Maybe that big flesh pillar's the result of trying to download more?

www.pcgamer.com

Divinity has even 'deeper sequences of consequence' than Baldur's Gate 3, says Larian: 'We wouldn't be excited if we were making the same game again'

"The level of agency that we're going to give you is very, very high⁠—much higher than what happened in BG3."

www.pcgamer.com

Divinity will be turn-based with a 'new ruleset' based on everything Larian has learned so far, says Swen Vincke: 'it allows you to do fantastic things'

No Divinity ARPG for thee, we're keeping things old school.

Baldur's Gate 3's lead writer hopes we won't want to save scum in Divinity: 'Our ambition is certainly to make failure more interesting'

F5 + F8, save scummers say "great" / Overwriting autosave, scummers behave!
