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?

*sigh* All right, looks like you win, ashen one. So now it falls to you to bring us knowledge. In the form of scrolls detailing the secrets of sorcery.

I was really hoping for Fadeland Johns. I wonder if they'll do anything with the losers.

Glad to see Eithne won! Can't wait to meet her and see what (forbidden) knowledge she's willing to share... ;)

skeletonbow: I saw the voting promo on the front page and went there immediately in order to nominate and vote for "Goggy McGogface", however sadly that is not an option so I'm afraid that I'm going to have to respectfully decline.

:oP
Goggy McGogface would have totally won.

farewell Fadeland Johns, its sad that we won't see you sitting in the tavern in Driftwood yapping about the good old days. :(

CharlesGrey: Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know Greece isn't exactly known as a rich country, especially in recent years... ?

Vythonaut: Well, if we're talking about real money, yeah, we're not a rich country but for counterbalance, we have beautiful forests, crystal clear beaches, lots of islands, graphical villages, nice weather and so on. If only the gasoline wasn't too damn expensive so as to visit those great beaches, islands, forres..oh, wait! Damn! :P Just joking, yeah, not exactly rich - in fact, many Greek people can't make a living and especially younger people with kids and old people...

As for the regional pricing, to be honest i think we have the same prices as the majority of GOGers in EU & USA. For example, Divinity: Original Sin it is sold for 39.99 euros (without discounts applied).
The regional pricing idea, rich country,s vs poor contry,s is kinda silly annyways.
There is no such thing as all having the same income even in a rich contry.
Some people do have low pay even if they live in a weathy state.

Poor Doryld. Hopefully Eithne has some sort of quest to gather some rare book from a cave of all kinds of perils.

Listen. Do you hear it? It's the sound of Konrad imploding with rage...
Posted April 27, 2016
Hopefully the others are liked enough to sneak into the game anyway, they both sound like pretty fun encounters.

Yep, the whole regional pricing thing SUCKS big time, no matter the income of the customers around the world.

Hardly so -- It was good advertisement for GOG and the developer, and fun for everyone who participated, no? And I doubt anyone would complain if the lesser popular heroes also find their way into the final game.

I wouldn't be the one to complain about this for sure! ;)
