Strange. The thing at 0: 24 looks isometric, but everything else points at 1st person.

The environment snippet that was shown seems somewhat top down, right?

"Join Swen live on stage with a special guest"

Who is the special guest? :D

The most beloved character in the entire franchise, Khalid.

 

[Infinitron]

Chris Avellone isn't that special anymore. Some kind of Minsc cosplayer isn't a bad bet actually. Or maybe a dude in a mindflayer costume lol.

 

[a Goat]

I have sources to believe it will be some egirl.

 

[Mortmal]

Strange. The thing at 0: 24 looks isometric, but everything else points at 1st person.

yes but it also may be cinematic heavy 1st person with all those facial animations , there's still some hope gameplay is on isometric map . I know ,i know fabulously optimistic...

 

[Lacrymas]

The most beloved character in the entire franchise, Faldorn.

I concur.

yes but it also may be cinematic heavy 1st person with all those facial animations , there's still some hope gameplay is on isometric map . I know ,i know fabulously optimistic...

"Cinematics" or dialogues could be face-to-face.

 

[frajaq]

Its gonna be Todd

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Not gonna happen, but I'd like best bro Sarevok to be brought back (for a cameo if nothing else).

 

[User0001]

Will it be a reimagined D&D phase-based combat system?

THE BOARD GAME
In addition to attending PAX East with our brand spanking new Baldur’s Gate 3 booth, we will also be showcasing Divinity: Original Sin - the Board Game with our friends and collaborators from Lynnvander.

Divinity: Original Sin - the Board Game was launched on Kickstarter in November 2019 and hit its funding goal in less than five hours. With the help of 10,565 wonderful backers we raised more than 10 times the original funding goal over the course of the campaign. The game is reaching the final stages of development and we’re working closely with Lynnvander to make it the best it can possibly be. Come by the dedicated booth for the board game at booth 20002 and try it for yourself! We’ll be running demonstrations all weekend, and the scenario we’re showing will not be part of the main game so you won’t be spoiling the story for yourself.

If you missed out on the board game Kickstarter we now have late pledging available through our pledge manager CrowdOx here: https://app.crowdox.com/projects/larianstudios/divinity-original-sin-the-board-game

If you are a Kickstarter backer, we have not forgotten about you! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support and we will be reaching out to you about managing your pledges through the CrowdOx pledge manager in the very near future.

We’ve had an amazing time at the last few PAX’s showing off the board game to as many people as possible and we look forward to being able to do the same again at PAX East.

DIVINITY: ORIGINAL SIN 2 - LIMITED RUN
Another thing we’ll have at PAX is a limited number of physical copies of Divinity: Original Sin 2 for Nintendo Switch. These will be available for purchase at the board game booth!
