Comment on Divinity - Cinematic Announcement Trailer
LuigiMaoFrance@lemmy.ml 2 days agoI had that same exact reaction. Like, I loved DOS2 and know it had horror elements in it, but the overall tone was much more humorous and more cartoony. Seeing this trailer lean so heavily into edginess and shock value was a little disheartening. There’s enough awful shit out there in the real world, so I really cherish the few RPG series that reject cynicism, postmodernist storytelling and grimdark aesthetics for a more positive and hopeful feel. At least we still have Dragon Quest and Xenoblade I guess…

I‘m in the same boat. OS2 had a very good balance for me. BG3 already took it a little too far for my liking BUT you could often choose not to, so it was okay. Playing BG3 and hearing the announcement about a new Divinity game got me giga hyped but I will temper my expectations after this cinematic trailer. I don‘t like the tone of it at all, unfortunately.
