I wanted to share again the fan re-relling and re-settling of Divinity's mythology that I had made for the sake of my fanfic. I am still so proud of it. It honors everything the games have set up to date and tries to weave all the themes into one coherent story.
Promo on the Divinity series on gog for the entire week.
Divine Divinity $1.19 (isometric diablo clone with no real character creator but lots of skill options)
Beyond Divinity $1.19 (worst game of the bunch, almost no one finished it, don’t play it unless you absolutely have to know about the lore or something, still an isometric diablo clone but the engine is somehow worse than the previous game?)
Divinity 2 $1.99 (3D action rpg where you can eventually turn into a dragon, includes expansion pack, character creator but no skintone options)
Divinity: Dragon Commander $3.99 (RTS/political simulator game set in the distant past, story mode is a playable dude only, you can turn into a dragon and marry a sexy skeleton wife, among other options)
Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition $9.67 (Isometric RPG with decent varied character creator but can only play human)
Includes 6 items: Beyond Divinity, Divine Divinity, Divinity II: Developer's Cut, Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Divine Ascension
The Divinity franchise is all on sale (probably because Original Sin 2 just won a BAFTA for its multiplayer), I’ve just linked to the bundle for accessibility reasons.
The “Eternal Edition” of Original Sin 2 actually includes every Divinity game except Dragon Commander (which is a RTS rather than an RPG)
Dragon Commander is also 90% off and can be found here.
If you’re confused about all the different games here is the time-line (story-order not date of release):
Divinity: Original Sin (2014) Turn based isometric RPG with two customisable human protagonists and optional co-op.
Divine Divinity (2002) Diablo clone RPG with one human protagonist (The “canon” version is a male warrior called Lucian also referred to as “The Divine” or “The Divine One” in later games.)
Beyond Divinity Short Story (2004) - A short story written by Rhianna Pratchett originally intended to bridge the gap between Divine Divinity and Beyond Divinity.
Divinity Original Sin 2 (2017) Turn based isometric RPG 1-4 players, fully customisable characters (Humans, elves, dwarves, lizards and all four undead versions), optional co-op. All party members are pansexual romance options, even the skeleton guy.
Beyond Divinity (2004) Diablo clone with 2 customisable protagonists, one human and one Death Knight. The least loved game of the franchise (and the only one I haven’t beaten personally).
Divinity II - The Dragon Knight Saga (2009-2011) - Fully 3D action RPG and later expansion pack and director’s cut. One human protagonist, gender and some cosmetic customisation, no skin-tone choices.
