Great documentary. And here we are at BG3. Future is Larian’s

[@TheChronozoan]

The future is all of ours, we just have to choose to do something with it

[@noctoi]

Such a special game. The passion and love that went into it are very apparent from the moment you enter the game. It’s one of the only games where I hear a snippet of the music and I can’t help the stupid grin that plasters all over my face. Don’t ever change guys, you are a VERY rare breed now, in the gaming and RPG industry. ❤️

[@charlestruppi7793]

Amazing game. Top 5 I’ve ever played. Busy with some other stuff now, but plan to roll with a new build after New Year.

[@aiksi5605]

@@charlestruppi7793 How was your new build, mate?

[@perhapsyes2493]

My D&D DM often uses the music from this game and I can't help but smile a bit whenever they come up. Currently working through Baldur's Gate 3, and I am certain that the music from that game will go in the common rotation too.

[@mikhailplisko3263]

After spending 230 hours into the game this documentary was just what I was looking for. I expected to see passionate and enthusiastic people, who love the games which they make. But I didn't expect, that I'd see such a lovely atmosphere of almost a family, which these people have become. Larian Stiduos is one of a few game developers, who don't chase for profit, instead - they have a unique vision, a dream of making art. And they truly seek to fulfill this dream. I wish you all the best and I'm really looking forward to see new wonderful games from you. Larian Studios is indeed a quality mark now!

[@mongee3614]

"I can definitely say that as we push ahead into new projects, that we're going to do some pretty cool stuff, I think". He was not wrong about that. They did some crazy cool stuff in BG3.

[@DeepbloodFang]

DOS2 music is so good, the first thing that hit me when I launched the game was the absoloutely amazing theme. They nailed it!

[@Anonymous_User69]

Thank you for adding Couch Coop feature. Being able to play an AAA title in same room with my girlfriend is a blessing! Thank you so much!

[@user-me7mm7gr1p]

One of my favorite games of all time. THis will be fun to watch. Love the whole game. But the music is close to my heart! So much bad music in games out there, but Divinity 2:s music is amazing. Unique and great melodies.

[@15xgg80]

For sure i never focus much on music in games but i found my self humming the music in this game and now when i hear certain songs i get goospumps my hair goes up.

[@MaJuV]

8:08 Yes, that owl dialogue was hilarious! In general a lot of animal dialogues were hilarious to listen to/read

I had no idea that the undead were a late addition to the game. they did an amazing job from beginning to end.

Can't wait for the next Divinity and one of the few games that you can feel tons of love went into this project. Stay healthy always Larian, and great job Gameumentary!

A fantastic in depth look at one of my favorite games. Thank you and shoutouts to Larian Studios for being open about the work that went into their project.

[@fenrik8178]

I'm addicted to the music of this. Keep finding myself humming the main melody.

[@ChaosPootato]

I wasn't a turn-based RPG guy, but man this game is GREAT. It really sucks you in

[@leanfist]

it does! ive been a lifelong fan of turn based rpg/jrpg and this is top of the pile

[@hantt]

Same, this game is a gem

[@DogInatutu]

Right? I never liked these kinds of games but after Divinity 2, I wanna try more.

The best game I've played in many years has a rich history and captivating characters, simply the best, thank you Larian Studios and Gameumentary for bringing this video.

[@igorcorti6364]

I read all descriptions! and played to the end with every character! The amount of detail and love put in the game is amazing!!! I love Larian Studios and the folks that work there!

[@albertwitten3648]

It's always fun and interesting to watch documentaries and behind the scene stuff like this. I 100 % agree to what Borislav Slavov said about "If the developers of the game is having fun it's reflected in the game". (paraphrasing) You notice this soo much in the worldcreation, the quirkiness and the overall passion about the whole game. WELL done Larian studios. I'm not a hardcore fan at all of RPG games but when my friend persuaded me to try it out, I loved every hour spend on this game!

[@Mr_Beaubles]

Saw this game randomly on Steam back during the beta right after they released "AI 2.0" and the only content was the first act, undead hadn't been added, Fane and Beast weren't even in the game yet! Still, even in that very early state you could sense the potential. Getting my ass handed to me repeatedly in that early beta motivated me to purchase the first game, which a friend and I quickly plowed through and thoroughly enjoyed. Didn't touch II again till it was released and man were we floored. Definitely one of the best games we'd ever played from a developer we'd never heard of, that clearly put their whole heart and sole into the development. One thing that really stood out for me was the music system (band nerd). The ability to select which instrument takes the lead at key moments for each character, after killing blows etc. and how it transitions is just amazing. Played through as Ifan with the cello as my instrument and still just hearing a bit of the soundtrack brings a grin to my face. :D Amazing game, Larian. Please never change.

[@yadday5153]

Another awesome document guys thank you.

[@kyojins9467]

my favorite game of all time. the best memory i have going through my second run of the game is realizing that the talking heads in the marsh can't make letter sounds that require lips to make (e.g. the "m" in maze, the "p" in parents). such incredible dedication and attention to detail. i love this game and studio so much!

[@lazarusblackwell6988]

Loving Divinity 1! The game is a MASTERPIECE. Everything about it is the way all rpgs should be. Its like every moment in the game is a special one and to be celebrated.

Most passionate game studio that I know of, please don't surrender to the gears of capitalism and try to stay on the artistic side.

[@j.2512]

The gears of capitalism is why gaming and the studio exist in the first place comrade

[@BonusEggs4Sale]

@@j.2512 No one is inspired to create great games or play great games because of the profit motive. On the other hand, the profit motive motivates a lot of people to make and purchase dreck.

As long as the man, the myth, the legend, SVEN is at the studio head, i doubt they will EVER turn to the "dark side" of gaming, he stuck it out through thick and thin for that studio and he is the most passionate person i have ever seen in gaming

Got 100 hours in the game and just started fresh in a new game yesterday since i figured out something new and im still in love with this game. I started with this hating turn based combat and not liking RPG's so much, but this one won me over. Definetely among my top 3 games of all time.

I've been obsessed with this game for the last few months. Even after beating the game, I want to do another playthrough with different characters and alternate quest paths. Tactician mode is very unforgiving but the challenge is what most games are lacking these days

[@ravipeiris4388]

Thank you Larian, you and CD ProjectRed are the only two studios i trust these days. Bethesda, EA and even Blizzard betrayed their player base. and for me only the two of you are still making games for players not for stock holders.

[@DxBlack]

The fact that you're suggesting a monster hunting game isn't a "true rpg" because you prefer a turn-based mechanic is irksome...Monster Hunter won for the same reasons D:OS2 won, leave your bias on the floor.

[@devinegamingtv3427]

After seeing this video and understanding their passion for the game I started over again and read through all the dialogue. I used to skip the dialogues, now I felt bad doing that since there aren't many game studious left that takes soo good care for their games and fan base. I'm hoping for another Original Sin game, this time I just want it bigger so I can put several hundred hours into it! Thank you so much for this game, Larian Studios
