Larian Studios has announced that the sequel to its award-winning and critically-acclaimed fantasy RPG, Divinity: Original, has today launched on Steam and GOG. Divinity: Original Sin 2 features deep, turn-based combat and an epic branching story, and gives players the freedom of a tabletop RPG, encouraging improvisation, and experimentation, and bending traditional video game rules.
In Divinity: Original Sin 2, players can go anywhere, talk to anyone, interact with everything, and overcome obstacles like in no other RPG.
According to the press release, Larian Studios has built upon all of the things that made the original a hit. This includes an expanded world, branching story, deeper turn-based combat, a classless character development system, 4-player co-op play, and epic amounts of fully voiced dialogue. The world of Rivellon is full of new lands to explore, both beautifully detailed and brutally dangerous.
New to Divinity: Original Sin 2 is Game Master Mode, an ambitious undertaking by Larian Studios that gives Game Masters the tools to create their own custom campaigns. A GM can create an entire campaign from the ground up, uploading their own world map and assets, editing battle and dungeon maps, scripting roleplaying scenarios with player response options, rolling virtual dice, and managing intense battles in real-time with up to four players. GMs can even upload and share their campaigns via Steam Workshop.
Enjoy!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

If it builds upon the first, it should easily be GOTY for 2017.
The last game was probably my favorite game of the last 5 years. Definitely grabbing this at full price on GOG, they’ve more than earned it.
Totally. Larian Studios is an amazing studio, the last game was awesome and pure quality. Glad I backed both games on KS(my copy is already available on GOG! I am downloading it now!).
I would love if they took on Divinity 3 : The Dragon Knight Saga next, imagine if it was Witcher 3 quality and full open world(last game was only partial). I really am a big fan of Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga it was really great, I am sure they could hit it out of the park if they worked on that next. It be good to let Original Sin take a break. Or another dream of mine is if they where to make an ARPG in the Divinity world that could be epic, and I bet they would crush Daiblo 3. They already have a pimp engine from the Sin series so they are good to go.
Man I really want to know what they will make next?
dammit, I still need to finished the first yet
