The Legacy of Divinity
The Divinity series is widely praised and many say it pioneered the modern wave of complex computer role-playing games. These games are defined by detailed worlds, branching plots, and flexible progression—traits that recently reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its setting is traditional swords and sorcery, what truly sets Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust given to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is brimming with niche playthroughs only possible by choosing a distinct build with a unique decision path.
The series is also wonderfully flexible, allowing players to improvise both in story and combat. Virtually all objectives can be solved in diverse methods, often in lateral fashion.
