Story & Themes
Divinity: Original Sin doesn't have a linear story, but rather allows players to choose their own paths through the adventure. Featuring two main characters--a condemned warrior and a heroine restored from the dead--players will navigate the story with decision-making in both the mechanical sense and with dialogue options. These two characters are both customizable in the beginning, and will converse with each other to different ends based on the skills and stats the player allots them in the beginning.
