From Larian Studios:
Since announcing Chris Avellone's upcoming contributions to Divinity: Original Sin II, campaign backers (including PayPal pledges) have unlocked two additional stretch goals; Love & Hate and the Shapeshifting Mask.
With Love & Hate, Larian Studios will create even more dynamic relationships, including friendships, bitter rivalries, and yes, even romance. The Shapeshifting Mask will allow players the ability to assume different roles entirely, such as switching from a human to a lizard, opening up the potential for completely new styles of play.
The Divinity: Original Sin II Kickstarter campaign is coming to a close and, with one day left on the clock, Larian Studios is announcing a 24-hour streaming Twitchathon as they push toward the final stretch goals.
The live event will feature special guests, rival battles including RPG Codex vs. RPG Watch, inside looks at features like Strategist Mode and modding tools, dev streams, community chats, and more.
The Divinity: Original Sin II Twitchathon starts today at 3pm CEST / 6am PT: http://www.twitch.tv/larianstudios
GOG.com and Larian Studios are also announcing a community brainstorming session. GOG.com pledged $10,000 to the Kickstarter campaign and is turning to the fans to help create a memorable character to be featured in Divinity: Original Sin II.
Fans can submit their suggestions to GOG.com here: http://www.gog.com/news/design_the_goghero_in_divinity_original_sin_2
For an added touch of authenticity, Larian Studios is providing official character guidelines to work with - just like the ones they use during development. Throughout the brainstorm, the team from Larian Studios, including Creative Director Swen Vincke, will be joining in on the GOG.com forums to browse, weigh in, and search for inspiration - all to design three final characters combining the awesomest ideas, complete with official concept art and backstory.
Once again, the #GOGHero will be placed in the hands of the gamers with an official vote to choose the favorite champion from three proposals. The winning character will go on to become the community-made, full-featured NPC in Divinity: Original Sin II.
