D:OS 2 is essentially another take on the story of the Chosen One, and while confidently told, nothing revolutionary. Once escaped, the real story has only just begun, as your character has a vital role to play in restoring the barrier between worlds. Using the Source apparently creates rifts in the Void, which separates the world of demons from Rivellon, letting demons called the Voidwoken run wild, and so all Sourcerers are outfitted with magic-suppressing collars and shipped off to Fort Joy, a prison colony. (Anyone else notice a missed opportunity for a cooler name for people who use the Star Wars’ Force here?)
The word used in the world of Rivellon for such people is “Sourcerer”, which should tell you what type of energy the Source is. Your character has been taken captive because they’re a versed wielder of the Source. Set several thousand years after the first Divinity, the sequel throws you right into the action. Much like many strategy titles, they are now carving out a console audience for themselves.Įven with games like Pillars of Eternity and Diablo 3 available on consoles, Divinity: Original Sin 2 adds an important game to a small selection of others just like it. Traditionally, CRPGs with their top-down view and complex management systems have been PC games, as the C for “Computer” in the acronym implies. This is going to be a very familiar situation over the course of my time with Divinity 2: Original Sin.Īlmost a year after its retail release on PC, the sequel to Divinity: Original Sin, hailed as one of the 2017’s best RPGs, has come to consoles.
