Unsurprisingly, Larian Studios is not revealing a lot about Divinity‘s story, characters, and world, not least as a result of it is prone to change so much from now till its eventual launch. Baldur’s Gate 3 made vital modifications to characters and story arcs from its early entry launch, so it is a idiot’s errand to even try to pin something down at this level.
However when’s that ever stopped anybody? Within the Divinity AMA with the studio, Redditor ‘ilikebreadabunch’ discovered the one opening and took it, asking Larian if there is a small spoiler that it might give that will not make any sense till we have truly performed the sport.
Larian obliged, and writing director Adam Smith merely replied, “Alligator”.
Nicely…uh, that definitely suits the invoice. Even when it is a fundamental story spoiler, maybe a personality’s remaining phrases (that may be an odd selection, I am going to admit), good luck getting something of use from it. With no confirmed launch date and even window proper now, we’ll be ready a very long time earlier than we discover out what this clue’s all about.
I am greedy at straws right here, however maybe there will be a struggle towards alligators, just like the notorious killer crocs in Divinity: Unique Sin 2’s opening space of Fort Pleasure. In spite of everything, Larian loves beginning gamers off by the water, and head of design Nick Pechenin made an equally cryptic response to a query about new mechanics, which I can solely assume is expounded to swimming: “There was one thing that bothered me once I explored the beginning areas of DOS1, DOS2 and BG3. It stares you proper within the face if you consider it. In Divinity I can lastly do the factor I needed to do in each earlier sport.”
Or perhaps there is a shapeshifter who can flip into an alligator, and we’re getting a non secular successor to BG3’s iconic bear romance scene. Alligators aren’t biologically lizards in actual life, nor in Divinity’s world of Rivellon (lizards are a humanoid race right here), however with all of the clamour of followers hoping for lizard romance, it is shut sufficient, no?
The funniest consequence can be if no matter this extremely nondescript spoiler is referring to was quietly lower from the ultimate model of the sport. I am going to you should definitely remind everybody of this puzzle piece when the sport’s in our palms to ship everybody right into a pointless frenzy.
