What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is universally respected and it's fair to claim it kicked off the contemporary revival of deep computer role-playing games. These games are defined by rich lore, branching plots, and deep class systems—elements that later found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

The series is also famously flexible, letting players to improvise in narrative and gameplay. Virtually all objectives can be completed in multiple ways, frequently in lateral fashion.

- Or, you could defeat a foe by teleporting a glob of lava in a inventive way.
More to Come
It is precisely these elements that have cemented the series to declare games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games of all time. Now, the RPG community can anticipate another adventure in this esteemed franchise.
