Meet the GOG.com community-inspired NPC for the upcoming RPG epic


UPDATE: A slender column of white smoke rises gently towards the sky: <span class="bold">The community hath spoken</span>! Dominating the competition with a whopping 59% of all votes, Eithne has been chosen as the GOG Hero to join the cast of Divinity: Original Sin 2 – heading to GOG.com day one.


Back in October, we asked you guys to devise a GOG.com character with a unique quest in Divinity: Original Sin 2. We collected tons of incredible ideas, while the talented team at Larian Studios designed three characters to embody the most awesome of those traits and concepts:



- Doryld "The Doryld" Surpass: On a soapbox in the town square, the madman messiah proclaims his divinity. He is the new Divine! His audience of three, two of whom are drunk (the other may be you), ask for proof of his powers. He resists. They insist.

- Fadeland Johns: The veteran masked adventurer drones on about her exploits in the old world. How the young people of today don't know nothin'. She's going out into the world to show 'em how adventure is done proper. Just as soon as she finishes this drink.

- Eithne: You encounter Eithne - masked and cloaked - weighed down with a massive rucksack of knowledge. She has books to trade and books to sell - mostly rare and arcane knowledge better left unlearnt...



Turns out the allure of the wandering librarian was <span class="bold">irresistible</span>. Ancient scrolls? Forbidden knowledge? Enigmatic mask? Yes, please!
Thanks to everyone who helped choose the GOG Hero for Divinity: Original Sin 2 and for making the anticipation for this epic RPG even more unbearable. At least we have <span class="bold">Divinity: Original Sin</span> to keep us busy, right?
No -50% on this version: https://www.gog.com/game/divinity_original_sin_enhanced_edition_collectors_edition ?
Fadeland Johns gets a vote from me. Now I'ma going to drink a beer.
Ah, neat little voting. I had forgotten about this GoG Hero thing. I even remembered my entry, more or less. :)

You say 50% off, but the game page says 49%. You may want to address that.

catpower1980: I voted for Dorlyd as he's the most unusual character out of the three. :)
Jesus Christ! He looks like a mix between Jack Sparrow ... and well, Jesus.
I voted Doryld. Nutcases always make my day in any RPG :D
Eithne for GOG
The Doryld got my vote! :D

It was a tough call, but in the end the one closest to my alter ego won: Eithne
That one got delayed a bit, it'll be on sale any minute now. :)

PS. Vote Doryld!
Was a close fight between Eithne and Fadeland Johns, but in the end the revenge-crazed librarian won out.

I'd love to see Fadeland Johns, though. That backstory sounds amazing.

"inspired by the GOG.com community"... this may be better left unanswered, but could we get to know examples that led to these characters?

Tough choice by the way, I would love to see all three, but I'll have to settle for Eithne.

between drinks, nostalgia and books I always vote books ;)

All the ideas came from here:
https://www.gog.com/forum/general/design_the_goghero_in_divinity_original_sin_2_9e401/page1

We picked out a whole lot of amazing ones, and Larian Studios took it from there. :)
