Larian's Swen Vincke gave his scheduled talk about Divinity: Original Sin 2 at PC Gamer's "PC Gamer Weekender" event earlier this month. It was not streamed live, but apparently somebody from PC Gamer did record it, and yesterday they finally uploaded it to their Youtube channel. And it's a good thing that they did, because it's a great talk. See here for a detailed summary, or watch it yourself:


After the initial ten minute introduction, Swen goes into detail about the game's core features - the character origins and the "competitive multiplayer" concept - and demonstrates with actual examples how they enable all sorts of choice & consequence-laden situations that would make Vault Dweller drool. It all sounds incredibly ambitious. If Larian can fulfill that ambition, then they truly will be ahead of the curve among RPG developers.
