Divinity: Original Sin 2 might be an exceptional RPG—not to mention PC Gamer’s —but after its launch last year, Larian Studios still thought it had room for improvement. With a console release on the cards, the developer set about working on Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition.“Once we saw it was doing well and we were certain we were going to make the console versions, we knew that was the right moment,” says Larian’s founder, Swen Vincke. “We had an opportunity to fix some of the things that had been bugging us during development.”It wasn’t just a chance for the developer to fix its own bugbears; players had their own criticisms that Larian wanted to address.

Most notable among them was the final act.“One of the key criticisms was that Act 3 wasn’t as cool as the others, and we could sympathise with that,” says Vincke. “So we asked a couple of our narrative designers to go through it and told them to be very heavy with their criticism. They came back with a 48-page document. They asked what they should fix, and we just said, ‘Do everything.’ So that’s what they did.”Unleashing BeastThe improvements to Act 3 should be most apparent with Beast, the Dwarven seadog, in the party. One of Original Sin 2’s neatest features is its origins system.
A character’s background opens up all manner of new conversations, quests, alternative paths and plenty of flavour, but some of that was missing for Beast in Act 3. X force xf adsk2013 x32.exe xf adsk2013 x64.exe.. He meets a lot of fellow Dwarves, but that doesn't result in as much unique dialogue options or reactivity as you might expect.
Fixing that was a priority, with the Definitive Edition's version of Beast’s storyline being filled with little details to set it apart.It’s the classic problem: the part that gets played the most in QA sessions is the beginning.One of the challenges Larian had encountered when it designed Act 3 initially was just testing it. There were so many ways that players could reach it, so many potential paths to keep track of, that blind spots were inevitable.“It’s the classic problem: the part that gets played the most in QA sessions is the beginning,” says Vincke. “Every large RPG has this problem. I was talking to BioWare about Dragon Age and asked them how they tested their endings and all the permutations. It's an issue because we put so many choices in our games, and in the end they all have to come through.
Has QA seen every single line that’s possible? It’s impossible to do so.
They bifurcate, and we have ways of dealing with that, but actually having someone playing through all these lines? It’s mathematically impossible.”With Original Sin 2 out in the wild, there were legions of players taking all sorts of routes with different characters and party combinations, revealing the places where Larian felt it could shore up some gaps. The final act’s antagonist has been beefed up narrative-wise and the epilogue provides more closure. More generally, says Vincke, the goal was to add an additional layer of polish and clarity to the narrative.Yet the nature of Divinity means that a lot of these improvements might be less noticeable, depending on the path you take. “For some people it will be pretty much the experience they had before, but for some people it will be dramatically different,” explains Vincke. It’s a chunky update, but it's not an overhaul.
“Fundamentally the content is the same.” Taking notesWhile Larian’s writers and voice actors worked on the story and dialogue, tweaks were being made to fights and visual effects, balance was being revisited, a new tutorial was being designed and the arena was getting a hotseat mode, along with new levels. There’s detailing all the changes, if you’ve got the patience to go through it all. And then there was the journal.“We redesigned the entire journal for the Definitive Edition,” says Vincke. “A couple of souls really put a lot of effort into that. We’ve got really high review scores, but if there’s one bit of criticism coming in, it’s the fucking quest log.
They say it’s still a little bit vague, but we can’t make it more precise because there are so many ways you can approach things.”Larian caught a bit of flack for the journal the first time around, too, prompting the redesign, but while Vincke agrees that it's not always clear, the quests aren't designed in such a way that the journal could guide players through them.“We design our quests in a way that’s different from a lot of other RPGs,” Vincke explains. “We say that you came from A, you came to B, but we have no clue how you got from A to B. We just know that you arrived at B. So we just assume that you did something to overcome all the challenges and we get on with our lives. But what Original Sin 2 does not tell you is how to get from A to B. The original quest entry in Act 1 told you to ‘get off the island’.
Then we thought we should maybe give players a few more pointers. It would have been awesome if that had been the only quest in your journal, though.” ShortcutsSome fixes were purposefully not made. Players have discovered lots of exploits and quirks and clever but unintended solutions to conundrums—to Vincke they're both a testament to player ingenuity and the skill of the designers. The world works in a largely logical way—as logical as a world with magic and talking skeletons can work—even when players are coming up with things that have never been considered. And this started right when people first got their hands on the game.Vincke recalls Original Sin 2’s first reviewer managing to sidestep an end-game problem in a way that made complete sense and also worked, taking Larian by complete surprise. It's a nifty trick that I won't spoil here.

He's quite invested in it.With another character comes more things Vincke would like to improve. Given that Sir Lora views his companions as, at least initially, dim-witted minions helping on his quest, I wonder if there might be some extra friction with Red Prince, since he's also got a pretty high opinion of himself. Vincke quickly quizzes his designers and is clearly disappointed when he confirms that the pair don't have any interactions like that. There's no time for Definitive Edition 2, however.
Larian is ready to move on.“It’s not as if we didn’t talk about adding new quests or a new origin character, but we only have so much time in our lives and there’s only that many things we can make,” explains Vincke. “We’ve already put a lot of effort into improving what’s there. People forget that these are three-year endeavours for us, and when you think about your lifecycle, you start counting how many you can make. It’s not that many.
That’s why we need to move on and make new stuff.”.
There's five main endings form what I've found.One for becoming a regular divine; pretty basic, game is basically like 'Lol something happened but idk what, you figure it out, waht did you do!?' One for becoming a divine but also being a demon. (Probably Lohse related, I've never obtained this one but I've seen a video of it). This one was the most amusing because apparently having the armies of hell enables the divine to not only beat the GodKing, but literally and thoroughly stuff his head squarely up his own backside with hardly any effort. But also the world is now ran by demons, so that's a thing.One for giving everyone source, AKA sharing it with everyone so there are no more 'sourcerers' or divine, everyone is divine. The God King is squarely defeated but peace doesn't last as everyone goes back to fighting everyone else. Originally posted by:One for sacrificing yourself and taking away all the source to seal away the God King; this works, though, obviously its not ideal for you or your fellow sorcerers as they all wind up essentially like the silent monks; though apparently Dallis stops being a total snark and actually treats them nicely?Malady undid this in my ending.
Does this not always happen? She only does it for some Sourcerers though. I find it hard to believe that she has the power to save every single Sourcerer in Rivellon.
Windego reforming her evil ways is dependent on severing her Sworn status. Purging the Source from the world does that automatically, because it completely (re)separates Rivellon from the Void. If you choose any other ending and.didn't. give her a Swornbreaker, she's still the God King's slave.My intial point is that all of the endings except purging the Source would contradict the events of games that are set further on in the timeline, namely the Dragon Knight Saga. Technically Beyond Dvinity as well, but that game takes place mostly in the Demon Realm, so its events could still occur unaltered.
In DKS you meet Lucian; he's the Divine and Damian's prisoner in Hypnoteremachia. He never DOES much except be the damselDivine in Distress, and his powerlessness in that game could be a direct consequence of the Purging ending of DOS2.
