Mystery solved.Divinity: Original Sin Official Website Official JP website She gave him a pretty straightforward explanation. When her ghost appeared, he popped open a dialogue window and asked her who poisoned her. Once he was sure nobody was around, he electrified her, quick and cleanlike. She was, you see, was in a coma, so she couldn’t simply say, “Oh yeah, it was totally The Dark Lord Sauron in a mummy costume.” Vincke’s solution? Finish the fucking job the poison started. Or, if you’re LITERALLY THE BIGGEST DICK IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE, you can do what Vincke did to figure out who poisoned the mayor. If you’re less of a dick, you can also talk to them.
They’re actually amalgams of Source energy - the, you know, source of people’s powers in Original Sin‘s world - so you can, if you’re role-playing someone who’s kind of a dick, absorb ghosts to gain source energy for use with new Source Skills. So in Original Sin 2, pretty much everything that dies - from a random spider baddie to an NPC capable of talking your ear off so fiercely that Mike Tyson would blush - leaves a ghost. You know, generally, but also in the video game. Case in point: a quest I saw involving a poisoned mayor had at least four different branches for the party’s four different characters - everything from healing the mayor to killing the mayor to, for one character, getting your own mother accused of the crime. As is, they will lead to tangibly different outcomes, a story you can twist and contort like putty. If Original Sin 2 was purely single-player focused, Larian could’ve maybe cut some corners with that, made character motives and choices only superficially different. Virtually every dialogue in the game will be different depending on which character is doing the talking, Vincke explained. This, in turn, means they react to the world differently than anyone else, and the world reacts to them in similarly unique ways.
Every character that can join your party has a detailed origin story and background. Vincke, however, told me that focusing on all these intertwined multiplayer elements actually makes the single-player side of things way better, in his opinion.

I like my classic-style PC RPGs like I like my Hans: solo. What about single-player? I don’t know about you, but I never played Divinity: Original Sin‘s multiplayer mode. So if you’re not sticking together (and probably meddling in each others’ affairs to some extent), the game will be significantly harder, if not impossible. Also, he added, this is still a party-based game, and it’s being balanced for four characters (NPC or human). I brought my concern to Vincke, and he said that quests are being designed in ways that occasionally force the party to come back together, realign and start from the same basic place again. Pairing that volatility with highly conditional multiplayer elements of quests strikes me as something that may not always pan out as Larian has envisioned.

What if the stars hadn’t aligned so nicely, though? Or what if one player decided to scheme up a troll job so elaborate that he’d be granted honorary real estate beneath the Golden Gate Bridge, only for his pal to zip through the quest without him? Divinity: Original Sin was great because it had so many interlocking systems, so many moving parts.
Both players were on roughly the same leg of the same quest, both taking their sweet time to get everything done. That was a pretty ideal set of circumstances, and I worry that it will be tough to replicate them when not taking part in a highly controlled demo. Sometimes friends, sometimes foes, but you can expect a hefty dose of comedic slapstick regardless. Then his friend went to drink the potion and, well, you can probably guess what happened next. First, he attacked his friend directly, turning him into a screaming tangle of flailing limbs, beard, and fire. He gleefully ran to join the turn-based battle, dagger aimed right for his ally’s back. Later, he got into a battle with some mercenaries, and that’s when Vincke chose to strike. The other Larian-er, playing a dwarf, was already number one on the guards’ suspect list due to the town’s history of racism against dwarves. Then he put the town guards on high alert for illegal contraband, noting that he could easily acquire some and put that into his alleged ally’s inventory as well. First, he dribbled some poison into an otherwise perfectly normal-looking health potion and slotted it into his frenemy’s inventory. While Vincke’s co-worker from Larian was running around, doing deeds for a quest, Vincke decided to mess with him.
