Divinity Series Returns To Roots With Original Sin
The next game in Larian Studios’ Divinity series is Divinity: Original Sin. Coming to PCs and Macs in 2013, the game is going back to the franchises’ RPG roots while incorporating new features like fully interactive environments and a new level editor.
The game is a blend of Diablo, Skyrim, and table-top RPGs. The view is top-down, the action is turn-based, and there is a reputation system barring you from stealing everything you see willy nilly. The combat appears to facilitate deep strategy. At one point in the video the two characters lay ice down beneath their enemies, melt it into water using fire, and then electrify it to dispatch the foes. Other features include co-op and group-based decisions that will affect the story.
Check out the video below for a presentation from the folks over at Larian Studios in Belgium:
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
