Divinity: Original Sin 2 is an expansive RPG with an almost ridiculous number of interactive systems. That makes it amazing for long-time cRPG fans, but also pretty overwhelming for anybody coming to the game without that level of experience. Pretty much just do their story quests. 30 points 2 years ago. If this is divinity 2 you just go through their stories like normal and be flirty when you can. Before the transition from act 3 to 4 you can talk to them for a romance scene. 7 points 2 years ago.

Released to overwhelming critical acclaim, reaching close to a million copies sold on PC and winning over 150 game of the year awards and nominations, Larian Studios' RPG Divinity Original Sin comes to consoles with a host of new and enhanced content in Divinity: Original Sin – Enhanced Edition.
The “Best RPG in years” (according to PC Gamer) receives a full makeover, including – but not limited to – a new intuitive user-interface tailored for controllers and couch friendly dynamic split-screen, with full voiced and remastered AAA dialogues featuring Alix Wilton Regan and Alec Newman, as well as hours of new content; quests, combat-styles, locations, changes to the crafting system and a reworked storyline breathing new life into the already expansive world of Rivellon.

Divinity: Original Sin Initial Gameplay Concepts

• Become part of a reactive, living and open world. Explore diverse environments, find myriad creatures and tons of desirable items.
• Experience gripping, party and turn-based combat. Manipulate the environment and use skill & spell combos.
• Play in co-op multiplayer online or in local split-screen and engage in co-op dialogues. Shape your relationships with your partner that will influence the game.
• Unravel a deep and epic story, set in the early days of Rivellon. Taking place well before Divine Divinity and Divinity 2: The Dragon Knight Saga, Divinity: Original Sin presents you with a familiar world in another era.
• Classless system lets you shape your character any way you want. Endless item interaction and combinations take things to another level of freedom.

In Divine: Original Sin, there are two player-customized protagonists. The protagonists can be male or female. As the game unfolds in flashbacks, the player discovers that their characters are the reincarnations of two guardians from the world’s creation mythology. The guardians—one male, one female—have an intentionally ambiguous relationship, although the box art depicts them holding hands.

They may be controlled by a single player, or divided between two players in cooperative mode. Regardless, they operate independently in conversations to develop individual personalities. Disagreements about specific actions are resolved by a rock-paper-scissors mini-game. Each character accrues points in different personality traits and positions based on their dialogue and action choices.

Through these decisions, they also accrue compatibility markers. According to the creator Swen Vincke, their relationship is defined by two personality ‘axes’: affection and affinity. In an interview with Matt Barton, Vincke said the character’s relationship isn’t necessarily meant to be a romantic one, but later told Nathan Grayson that romance, and specifically same-sex romance, was a possible outcome. Many of the potential endings (generated based on the player’s affinity and affection scores) discuss the requited and/or unrequited affections between the two protagonists. Even if the two player characters end the game in a romance, however, their previous incarnations were/would be coded as heterosexual.

Divinity: Original Sin (2014): Player Characters’ Affinity/Affection; The Star Crossed Lovers; Sex Workers (/“Sex” “Workers”)
