    This trailer was so wild that at some point there was actual fucking for like 3 seconds and my mind was like “ayoo they fucking,” then skulls started popping out of some cysts on a live mans burning sacrifice and my mind forgot so quickly there was literally just sex on the screen at the video game awards.

    I thought that’s too gruesome but then I saw it was Divinity and that’s about appropriate amount of violence for the series. I’m not sure if it’s the best way to market the game however.

      I dont know, I felt like it was more fitting for Diablo. Watching this trailer I thought:

      1. Wow I can’t believe they were actually allowed to show that on YouTube.

      2. It seems like Larian is making a lot of changes with the tone of Divinity.

      Its interesting, but was definitely not what I would personally expect from Divinity.

        Divinity has always been pretty gruesome. Maybe the bad graphics shielded the viewer of the grim reality, but the reality was pretty freaking grim.

        Please note that this is a continuation of the divinity series, not divinity original sin. The divinity series are much, much older games and play like an arpg, the look like Diablo 1.

        Idk if they want to change it into turn based given their success in that field, though.

          I’m curious too. Original Sin/OS2 are really tight turn based strategy games (with D:OS2 being the best game Larian has ever made IMO (sorry BG3 fans)), but Divinity II was an ARPG, and I would not mind seeing a Larian with actual resources trying their hand at it again.

            D:OS2 being the best game Larian has ever made IMO (sorry BG3 fans)),

            A person of culture with a bold and hot take. I respect it.
