"Divinity: Original Sin 2" is a party RPG developed by the Belgian studio Larian Studios for PC and is a sequel to "Divinity: Original Sin". The project appeared in early access on Steam on September 15, 2016, and its full release took place on September 14, 2017.
The events of "Divinity: Original Sin 2" take place a thousand years after the events of "Divinity: Original Sin". In these ten centuries, much has changed in Rivellon. The old gods are dead, there is a strict ban on Source magic, and therefore everyone who possesses it is captured and taken to a colony island. The island is in complete chaos. The local boss controls all the food in the colony, and the Order, which is supposed to deal with the affairs of the prisoners, is entirely immersed in solving its own problems. Is it any wonder that our hero's primary task will be to escape from the cursed island? The implementation of this will take up the entire first act of the game.
In terms of gameplay, "Divinity: Original Sin 2" does not differ significantly from "Divinity: Original Sin". We can still play the game solo or with friends, primarily through peaceful or, conversely, forceful means. The combat system has become more complex due to an expansion of spell combination options. Moreover, there are now more spells available.
The number of races has increased compared to the previous installment. Furthermore, now, in addition to creating a random character, you can choose a pre-made character with their own backstory. There are special unique quests in the game for such backstory characters. NPC attitudes towards the hero also depend on their backstory, which opens up new opportunities in dialogues. While playing "Divinity: Original Sin 2", you will need to think carefully about who to assign to speak in each specific case, rather than just sending the character with higher intelligence to the NPCs.
