What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is widely praised and many say it pioneered the recent resurgence of deep computer role-playing games. These games are known for rich lore, player agency, and flexible progression—elements that recently found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is familiar fare, what makes Divinity apart is the remarkable agency given to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is packed with specialized paths only possible with a particular class or origin with a specific history of choices.
The series is also notoriously open-ended, allowing players to improvise in narrative and gameplay. Most missions can be solved in diverse methods, often in unexpected fashion.
