That was an incredible opening for a game! Makes me excited for what is to come from Larian Studios. Also, that persisting rumor that the end image had something to do with Elder Scrolls 6 was put to rest in a very cinematic way, I knew it wasn't associated with Elder Scrolls 6. Just like Jason Schreier had already indicated in a leak post. Bethesda could never and will never at the moment, nobody with that level of talent is there anymore.

Visually stunning? check Meaningless? check About as relevant to the actual game as that Witcher 4 Unreal Engine tech demo? check checkety check.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago (25 children)

That's kinda how announcement trailers usually go though?

How is it meaningless or irrelevant? Genuinely curious. Some of the stuff happening in here are seen in OS2.

It's a good pitch for a 3rd original sin game.

[–] fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

It's not a third original sin game, it's the third divinity game. Divinity original sin is way newer then the divinity saga. Just saying. Both gameplay and tone are very different, they only share lore partially.

That's one hell of a trailer.... hopefully the game's good as well

[–] Greenbeard@lemmy.zip 4 points 18 hours ago

I have high hopes for Larian after delivering two of the greatest RPGs I've played one after the other.

[–] jownz@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

First time? Lol! Larian is seriously the best. The game will be better than good. I'll bet you anything! 😉

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No idea what the game is but it sure was creepy!

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I am currently playing Divinity 2, and the game's humour and lore is indeed dark.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ego Draconis or Original Sin 2? I'm not a diehard fan or anything, but I know some people online like to make the distinction known.

I've only really played Ego Draconis (Divinity 2), but I've played the tutorial of Original Sin 2.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 9 hours ago

This is the third game of the divinity saga, not the OS saga. Tone is much darker, not as much whimsy stuff.

Requires a login. Is it available anywhere without a google account?

[–] AbsolutelyClawless@piefed.social 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] atro_city@fedia.io 2 points 1 day ago

Well that was horrifying, a bit much.

[–] seat6@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Whatever larian makes I’m sure we’ll be great; but this did seem a bit too graphic. Im still really looking forward to it though!

[–] Krompus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It would be completely fine as a cutscene in an 18+ rated game, but it was a bit much for a trailer revealed at an (all ages?) event with no warning at all. Extremely detailed melting flesh and interspecies copulation was not on my bingo card.

Wishlisted, looking forward to more info.

[–] MJKee9@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

TGA was rated M.

[–] Rusty@lemmy.ca 3 points 20 hours ago

It looks like a homage to "The Wicker Man" (1973)

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

What did that guy do to end up inside a burning man effigy?

What the fuck just grew from his blood?

What the fuck was that billowing from his back boil?

Did those pigs eat that orc's vomit?

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 11 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

He looks to be wearing some sort of symbols that refer to Braccus Rex, a tyrant king. Maybe this is a whickerman situation where the locals celebrate the death of Braccus Rex with a live sacrifice dressed as one?

A kind of flower, can't remember the name... Blood rose? But it's a demonic type of flower that only grows in soil that has been tainted with extreme suffering. Might have something to do with the Void...?

Probably some sort of Void corruption, I would reckon. DOSII literally had people and creatures boiling, then exploding, into Void creatures.

Yes.

[–] Greenbeard@lemmy.zip 3 points 18 hours ago

I can't wait to know more about this game

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Divinity Original Sin 2 is one of my favorite games of all times but this looks too gory for me. Actually it doesn‘t feel like Divinity at all.

[–] ark3@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I have only played D:OS 2 too but afaik the first Divinity games are pretty hardcore when it comes to gore (?).
