Play DOS1 before DOS2?

[|Pipe Dreams]

Or is this a new story all together? I own DOS1 and TBH... a lot of games keep me busy, but im interested in playing it,. but if DOS2 a complete overhaul? Should i just play DOS2?

No, you don't need to.
Also consider using the search function first.

You don't need to play D:OS1 to enjoy D:OS2. 2 is set 1222 years after DOS1, 24 years after Divine Divinity, 4 years after Beyond Divinity, and 58 years before Divinity 2. There are a few returning characters and plot points returning from D:OS1, but you can find out about these things in game. You don't need to have played any of the other Divinity games to enjoy this one.

Also there will be some type of introduction to the world and the events that leads to Original Sin 2 according to the Q&A stream they did 4 days ago.

I hear you,

I played Divinity 1 with friends and alone and we absolutely didn't care about the story.. I knew the big lines, what the conflict was about etc but the tactic part is so much awesome that it was so fun to play it even if we didn't follow the story very well.

I know what you feel and i'd say for a game like Mass Effect or The Witcher you HAVE TO play them in order because characters are so deep and the story is everything.

But for divinity i think that you can safely go on the second one without the fear of missing something.

The only thing you will miss is that you may want more after you finished it. So i suggest that you finish the first one before :) ( The 1 is allready a masterpiece )

You should play 1 though! Even if you don't do it first, it's a really fun game. Make sure you use the Enhanced Edition. Easiest comp is 3 or 4 mages, for fun you can do double Lone Wolf or anything else you want :D

The one reason why I'd play DOS1 before 2 is because DOS1 is a great game worth playing but if you play it after 2 it might feel like a downgrade.
