Divinity is labeled as Larian Studio’s biggest and most ambitious project to date. The level of player choice is going to be very very high. Even more than BG3. Both at the narrative level, but also at the systems level. Sven also mentioned that it’s also the biggest game they’ve ever made. Sven explained that the reason they made the trailer very dark was because they wanted the player character to be the one to take the darkness away - or be the one who pushes everyone into deeper darkness. They are focusing on immersion in that if you do the heroic things, they want you to feel heroic and if you do evil things - feel like an evil person, or a tyrant. They said that DOS 2 had a lot of darkness in it but it wasn’t displayed cinematically like it will be in Divinity, and how the game will be one of contrast - how you can be the hero - the last hope for everyone, or the one who plunges everything into darkness. Adam Smith, writing director at Larian Studios mentioned that other games are all the same tone - such as only darkness and war. They don’t want to make something like that. They want there to be light and hope, so in Divinity, there will be horrors, but you have the choice - what are you going to do about it? Sven confirmed that Divinity won’t be using the D&D ruleset and that it won’t be a clone of DOS2 - Divinity will have a new ruleset built on everything that they learned from all the previous games that they’ve done. Sven continues by saying it's very easy to learn, very hard to master, but it allows you to do fantastic things, which is the most important bit. It's going to give you a really good time figuring things out, and how you can chain things to one another and come up with all kinds of shenanigans. Sven also confirmed that combat is still turn-based - which is big news! Sven also confirmed when asked if there would be a similar party size to BG3 - YES. That means we can expect a party of 4! When it comes to the development cycle, they are already recording, but they are also still casting characters. When asked about the cast, they replied that they have the right people in the right roles. The game is made on an upgraded version of the Divinity Engine that is brand new and just finished, audio and visual fidelity have both gone up, as well as gameplay. And there are a lot of things they can do now that they couldn’t do before. They built a new studio with 6 recording studios with the belief that they will be recording non-stop through the development process because they want you to have lots and lots of choice - all that leads somewhere and has consequences. Adam mentioned that the team is very deliberate in wanting a new game, not a baldur’s gate 4. They want a new story, new quests, and they are putting a lot of pressure on themselves to come up with something different. In another interview Sven talked about how they had planned to work on a new D&D project but their hearts weren’t into it, saying that they had all the ingredients for a really cool game, but it didn’t capture the hearts of the developers, so they pivoted to Divinity, which he believes is going to be way better. He also noted that the systems of Dungeons and Dragons are difficult to translate from tabletop to digital gaming, and in Divinity they are making a system that’s made for a video game, and will be much easier to understand. As someone who had never played D&D I can agree that Baldur's Gate 3 was hard for me to understand at first. They are also planning to complete Divinity faster than they completed Baldur’s Gate 3, which took 6 years to make. Sven said that he thinks 3 to 4 years is much healthier than 6 years, in terms of a development cycle. ⏺️ Watch LIVE 👉 https://www.twitch.tv/toyhouze 🎶 TikTok 👉 https://www.tiktok.com/@toyhouze_youtube 🅿️ Patreon 👉 https://www.patreon.com/toyhouze ❤️ Donate 👉 https://streamelements.com/toyhouze/tip 🖥️ MY PC SETUP Monitor 👉 https://amzn.to/3JSpsnk Mouse 👉 https://amzn.to/3JQZGjA Keyboard 👉 https://amzn.to/3JSpvzw Headphones 👉 https://amzn.to/3wvCmEW Microphone 👉 https://amzn.to/3wuwGek Camera 👉 https://amzn.to/3wvCpk6 Audio Interface 👉 https://amzn.to/3UTbdFn Preamp 👉 https://amzn.to/3UTrSss Microphone Arm 👉 https://amzn.to/3UTbfNv Chair 👉 https://amzn.to/3USzF9D #bg3 #baldursgate3 #baldursgate Toyhouze earns from qualifying purchases.
