The complete release of Divinity: Original Sin 2 is drawing very near, releasing September 14 on GOG.com. I could not be mor excited as the orginal game was one of my favorite games and still holds one of the highest scores this publication has eve doled out.
There are many reasons to anticipate the release, including the opportunity to encounter one character in particular – designed, inspired by, and chosen with the GOG.com community – a fully voiced NPC with a unique backstory, and her own share of secrets…
For backing the D:OS 2 Kickstarter campaign, GOG were given the chance to work with Larian Studios on a unique in-game NPC: the GOG hero. And because the more is the merrier, the entire GOG.com community would get to be a part of the process from the start.
Beginning with a forum-wide brainstorm and a series of art and writing contests, the GOG community would draw, doodle, pitch, and design countless ideas for Larian Studios to take to the drawing board. Months later, three designs would be revealed by the studio and the finalists put to the community’s vote.
In the end, it was Eithne – an undead librarian, merchant of rare and arcane knowledge – who emerged the clear winner with 59% of all votes. She became the official GOG hero made possible by the GOG.com community.
