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?
Voted Doryld. Not a fan of any of them, to be honest.

ColBashar: I voted for Eithne because she seemed the best fit for a GOG related NPC. ... If GOG were anthropomorphized into a character, I could easily see it wandering around with a big sack of floppy disks slung over its shoulder. Of the three NPCs presented in the survey, Eithne seemed to resonate with that image the most. Even the resurrection story fits as GOG helped bring a lot of games back from the dead.
Those were my thoughts though not put into words at all or so eloquently because I'm lazy. Thank you for the those comments. :)
How do I vote? When I click on one of the characters it lights up but nothing happens.

The same occurred to me. I had to wait for a few seconds, then the character seemed to float about the others, then I could select it.

Stryder2931: The same occurred to me. I had to click on the name right next to the number, rather than the character or description. Hopefully that will work for you too. If not, let us know.
I couldn't find a number next to the name but I tried clicking on the picture, the name and the description but no luck in IE. I then went to the page in Chrome and it worked fine so maybe it is a browser issue. Thanks for the help though.
No vote, nothing takes my fancy *shrug*.

Bring on the game...looking forward too two, one was superb.

gamesfreak64: He looks like nutcase/underdog or so, thats alway nice.
Exactly why I found him the most interesting character. He looks eccentric and seems crazy enough to be very interesting. :)
Books, scrolls, arcane knowledge. Easy choice!
Eithne!
Question about the game:
Is Divinity: Original Sin pretty much standalone or should one play Divine Divinity or other games in the series first?

Another vote for Eithne the resurrected parchment pusher.

The crab begged me not to vote for its netted tormentor.

Undead, like a zombie?
The description says that she was resurrected! :-)
