![]() ![]() Sometimes it’s difficult to know whether you’ve finished a quest or if there’s more to go, and due to the intertwined nature of the quests sometimes it can be hard to know if you’re doing a main quest or a side activity. Many of the game’s quests are intertwined so you might end up hitting a wall in one only to find out how to get past it while playing another. You have to figure everything out for yourself by reading books, talking to people and double checking your quest log. The game doesn’t know the meaning of hand-holding. Let’s just say there’s more than a few ways to deal with the situation and more than a few outcomes. It seemed like a good cause until I realise the orc in question didn’t have a bad bone in her body and she was just a young girl when the slaughter took place. At one stage an elderly elf asked me to assassinate the last member of an orc clan that slaughtered his people. Many games boast about their difficult moral decisions, but Divinity actually delivers and shows you the consequences of all your actions, be they good or bad. From the forgetful, hard of hearing mayor and the spiteful captain of the Legion to Walter the Wishing Well all of the characters are memorable and well-drawn out. It’s excellent and can fully flesh out any character, no matter how big or small they are, in a handful of lines. Still with me? Never mind just take leap of faith and trust that it’s a great story. Oh and as if that wasn’t inconvenient enough your two characters, the Source Hunters, are the only people who can save the world because for some strange reason they don’t appear on the tapestry in the first place. However it doesn’t take long before you find out that a void is coming to destroy the world and the only way to stop it is by finding magical items called Star Stones which will help you mend the Tapestry of Time and save the world. Divinity’s story opens when the two main characters land on a beach in Cyseal with the aim of solving what appears to be a straight forward murder. Damn.ĭivinity feeds right into the traditional high fantasy storytelling mould as it starts out with a seemingly simple plot that evolves into the fate of the entire world depending solely on you – or at least your two characters. I guess I’m going to have to do my job then and put some words on this page that describe the game in question. However, apparently you’re here to learn a little bit about the game before you do and want to be told why it’s good instead of just accepting it. Ideally you’d blindly accept my word and drop your hard earned cash down on a copy of Divinity: Original Sin – Enhanced Edition right now. ![]()
