The cast includes Harry Hadden-Paton as the Red Prince, Alix Wilton Regan as Sebille, Tamaryn Payne as Lohse, Chris Finney as Ifan ben-Mezd, Alec Newman as Beast and Christopher Bonwell as the undead.
One playthrough will not be enough for "Divinity: Original Sin 2" to get to hear all that voice acting so it will take several to get to learn each and every portion.
Apart from the voice work done in the game, the new "Divinity: Original Sin" installment also has a lot to offer in terms of side quests — much of it comes from the four-player co-op system in the game.
A gameplay trailer showed that not all companions will get players through the mission. Some will get them in trouble. It turns out that one of the team members can mess things up for the group.
The clip shows that in "Divinity: Original Sin 2," one of the companions decides to rob a shopkeeper to get a weapon that he, without telling how he got it, gives to his teammate, who gets blamed for the crime when a city guard catches up to them.
Because of this, the wrongfully accused player is held responsible and goes to prison so the rest of the gang will have to get him out of there as part of a side quest and exact revenge on the dishonest team member.
Despite the feud, "Divinity: Original Sin 2" will still ask the group to work together after a threat bigger than their differences surfaces.
From the looks of it, the co-op system in "Divinity: Original Sin 2" will not disappoint those who are looking for story depth.
"Divinity: Original Sin 2" releases Sept. 14 on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
