The Legacy of Divinity
The Divinity series is widely praised and it's fair to claim it sparked the modern wave of crunchy computer role-playing games. These games are defined by rich lore, choice-driven narratives, and complex character building—qualities that subsequently reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

While numerous modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is full of unique possibilities that are viable if you're playing as a distinct build with a specific history of choices.
The series is also famously flexible, enabling players to experiment throughout the entire experience. Most missions can be solved in diverse methods, sometimes in lateral fashion.

The Journey Continues
