Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke shares his advice for Baldur's Gate 3 fans curious about the older Divinity series. Discover why he recommends certain games based on whether you prefer narrative or tactical combat.
00:00Larian Boss says don't play the older Divinity games unless you want the lore.
00:03Talking to us here at GamesRadar, Larian CEO Sven Vink explains his view by comparing the Divinity series to Baldur's Gate.
00:09If you played Baldur's Gate 3 because it was a cinematic narrative experience, you shouldn't play the previous ones unless you want to know the lore, he states.
00:16If you played because you really enjoyed tactical combat or co-op multiplayer or really having lots of freedom, you should definitely play Original Sin 2, because that's a game that was a blueprint for BG3.
00:26Original Sin 1 also, although in a slightly lesser manner, because it didn't have the companions that we had in those two, so I would point you in the direction of those games.
00:34We should point out that Baldur's Gate 3 and the Divinity games take place in different universes, but they're united by the team's creative philosophies and ideas, making 2023's Baldur's Gate 3quel the most contemporary benchmark for whatever terrors the new Divinity will throw at us.
00:47But when it comes to playing the older Divinity games, Vink concludes, if you really want to know everything, there's games that came before.
00:53But they're a bit outdated by now. They are quite old.
