Divinity: Original Sin

Magic, somebody used to say, is a sword without a hilt: there's simply no safe way to use it. In the world of Divinity, Sourcerers, powerful individuals who can wield the Source to perform otherworldy feats, have been revered once, but following the death of the Divine Lucian, they are being hunted, as using the Source attracts the Voidwoken, hellish creatures that can bring about the end of the w...

The main story could be better told, companions could be more interesting (and just more), and while refreshingly free it could at least offer some better directions for important things or highli...
