Larian have published a Divinity: Original 2 Kickstarter update to remind us that they're at PAX East in Boston this weekend. There's not much information in it otherwise, but I can never get enough of these funny Swen videos:

​

They have released a few screenshots of the PvP arena mode they're showcasing there, which offer a first look at the game's combat UI:

​

A more substantial Divinity: Original Sin 2 update will be released next week. In the meantime, why not go vote on the identity of GOG.com's backer NPC? Don't let the humorless dorks win.

Swen is bizarro world Sawyer. He is cheerful, gives us turn-based combat and actually makes good games. Remind me again why Obsidian gets most of the attention here?

Of course the boring MYSTEEERIOUS vendor NPC is going to win, players want their cool shit selling NPC.

It might have something to do with the fact that people like yourself jump into threads that have nothing to do with Obsidian/PoE/Sawyer and bring up Obsidian/PoE/Sawyer...like you just did.

Read about their quest dispenser hooks in this update and you'll figure it out.

Larian really does read their forums. A DA:O style quickbar is a feature that a lot of us have been asking for.

Will Chris Avellone write story/characters ?
Will he also create the part of the world in DoS2?

He will probably write some of the 'origin stories' and maybe one or two NPCs, taking into account his usual participation in games where he participated as a "stretch goal".

This is gonna be good

Maybe even great. Who knows.
