It Was Developed By the Creators Of Divinity: Original Sin 2
With Shadows of Amn setting such a high-water mark for the genre, few games were able to match it in terms of its breadth and scope, outside of later titles from the same studio (like Icewind Dale games or the Neverwinter Nights series).
That was until 2014 rolled around, and the CRPG Rennaisance began. A slew of fantastic titles were released, including Shadowrun: Dragonfall, Wasteland 2, and quite crucially, Divinity: Original Sin, from developer Larian Studios.
With its intricate turn-based combat, well-crafted story, and dense lore, Divinity, and even more so its sequel, Divinity: Original Sin 2, brought CRPG’s back in a big way.
It was in no small part thanks to the success of Divinity: Original Sin 2 that Larian was able to acquire the license to develop Baldur’s Gate 3 in the first place, as with it they proved themselves the undisputed masters of the modern genre.
