Actually, I can't remember ANY role-playing gme without "war" as the major theme !
So, I tend to rather expect that Larian would rather exploit the recurring theme of War Aginst The Damned One even further. I believe, this war needs an epic conclusion ! Because there's still the Black Ring ...
LandStalker was a fun RPG that didn't involve war. Just a treasure hunter and a duke that ended up racing each other to the treasure. This war could end in D2 and another start up again for D3.

While the Divinity II plot is full of genre tropes, I feel that they did a stellar job with it.
It's hard to pull off humor and compelling characters. I feel Larian succeeded where most other developers fail.

Another developer that often falls for genre tropes.

D2 plot is cheap. Don't take it too seriously. Of Blizzard ? Yes.

On the PC FoV is available separately, as a digital download. On the Xbox it is too large to be released as DLC, and Larian could not get it published as a disk version (only the German PC release got a disk version of FoV). There were too many changes in DKS (redesigned flying fortresses, changes to enemy placement and loot, etc) to maintain save compatibility. Lar mentioned recently the possibility of creating a tool to import D2:ED saves and export them to the FoV section of DKS, but it would have to wait until the FoV to DKS conversion patch is done. If such a utility does get released, I don't know if an Xbox version would be feasible. Welcome to the forum.
