You have a lot of these conversations where the characters reflect on things, and I brought all of these conversations together and just spent days writing all the observations of all the characters, working like a machine." I’d prefer to have just one baby to focus on. "I wrote Red Prince and Sebille, and I love both characters, but especially near the end it got schizophrenic writing the two of them at a very quick pace. "The one thing I don't want to do again is to write two of them," said writing director Jan Van Dosselaer.
This seems to have paid off, judging by critical acclaim for the game's (optional) pre-written "origin" characters and storylines, but it sounds like the extra effort left some on the team feeling a bit burnt out. Vincke and other members of the dev team focus on two major efforts in this postmortem: the prototyping and playtesting of a "spicy" Original Sin 2 combat system, and the attempt to revamp the game's writing with both new dev tools and a bunch of new writers, some of whom had never written for games before. "We rewrote the game all the way up to the week before release, and there were many conversations still being modified." " Original Sin 2 was the first time where we had sufficient resources to do everything well, and even then we had to scramble," studio founder Sven Vincke told PCGamer. Now, an interesting postmortem feature on the game published by PCGamer sheds light on some of the bumps along the way to Original Sin 2, with devs on the project talking frankly about challenges they faced in overhauling the game's combat and dialogue systems - even as the studio more than tripled in size. Larian seemed to hit it out of the park last year with the release of Divinity: Original Sin 2, the well-received sequel to its 2014 tactical RPG Divinity: Original Sin.
