Instead, I sat down and had a chat with one particular slug and half an hour later one of my companions is (I think) due to be wed to that slug. And then I saw the comets for what they truly were: giant flaming slugs.ĮAnd that's how it could have gone down, with the entire population of the cave reduced to raisin-like shriveled specks. Stunning, I chattered, my skull rattling out the words through some uncanny mechanism of speech that I'll never understand. Trails of fire, like slow motion subterranean comets, lit the place and sent fans of flame flickering across the rock-face. That's why I was delighted when I found one particular cave that stood out from all the rest. It's also why I prefer spending time in dank caves rather than propping up the bar at the local tavern.

I am a skeleton, animated and alive in some sense, but a skeleton nonetheless. Here's just one example of how strange things can quickly become from an early part of the game. Spend even a little time with it and you'll find something far weirder and more inventive than just about anything you might have encountered that features both dungeons and dragons. Sure enough, it's isometric, party-based, and contains elves and dwarves aplenty. If you're not familiar with its predecessor, a glance at Original Sin 2 might make you think it's a sibling to those other Kickstarted RPGs - Pillars of Eternity, Torment and the rest - that want to recapture the magic of the nineties. There's just so much to do in the world that doing good can feel just a little to obvious. But heroes? You can play through the entire game, multiple times, and never feel like much of a hero. As you play through Divinity: Original Sin 2, your character and companions will be many things to many people: thieves, killers, saviours, fugitives, outcasts, demons, nightmares, lovers, traitors, jackasses, adventurers, pranksters and fools.
