Divinty: Original Sin 2 Kickstarter Launched



(Full disclosure:  just backed this project at the $25.00, keep this in mind when reading future posts associated with this game.)

So I was a big fan of the completely-out-of-left-field hit that was Divinity: Original Sin.  Released out of Kickstarter in 2014, it was simultaneously a love-letter to old-school CRPG's, as well as a fresh modernization on the genre.  Tactical combat interactions were insanely deep, and writing throughout was refreshingly comedic, making for a unique experience that kept me off balance while adding in constant surprises.  I've actually got a bit of a hankering to go back to it, but I'm currently holding off for the enhanced edition coming out later this year.

It's cool to note that Larian is sticking with Kickstarter to bring a second helping of zaniness to the world, and I can't wait to see more.  Their campaign started up today, give it a look if you feel like getting in early, or helping to contribute with some of the stretch goals.  It's worth noting that the game already has a budget thanks to the sales from the first, and the Kickstarter campaign's goal is to expand the scope of the game.  I'm confidant with Larian's last success that this will be a project worth getting involved with, similar to the extra clout that Harebrained Schemes gained with their initial Shadowrun game.
