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?
Very cool. Voted!
woah woah woah... day one release this time?
I still can't afford the first one, but I like the artwork for the characters.
It was a huge mistake that I didn't back D:OS2. Huge, huge, huge!
Cool. I have the first game on GOG and backed the second on kickstarter and haven't played either (broken record there).

Voted for "Eithne"

-- good price for the first game I'd pick it up if I didn't already have it

I voted for Dorlyd as he's the most unusual character out of the three. :)
Why one of the possible NPCs doesn't call 'Judas'????? WHY?????
A no brainer for me. Eithne.

But you know he isn't the messiah, he is just a very naughty boy.

Good!
He might not have wicked cool armor, but the description is both amazing and hilarious.

The Doryld for #GOGHero!
It was a tough choice between Doryld and Eithine, but done!

I admit it is a pretty cool description :)

Doesn't at all look like it right now, but I guess there's six days to go yet. :)
Ah, this was tough, since they all seem pretty fun and interesting. Ultimately I made a somewhat biased vote for the third character, because the design and story seem like something you'd find in the world of Dark Souls and I'm currently obsessed with DS3. Judging by the results so far, others seem to like the design as well.

Compliments to the artist(s) and designer(s). :)

Why that?
