What game engine is the game made from?

[TROOPER181st]

Unreal Engine 4 ? Unity 5 ? Cryengine ?

[TROOPER181st]

never mind found it : New technology. Powered by Divinity Engine 3.0
Wondering how strong the engine is ?

[bloodraven43]

its larians engine...imagine that huh??? a self publishing studio not only creates games but uses their own engine in which they crafted themselves...pretty cool huh????

as far as strong...look at the d:os enhanced edition...this one will be better...better then anything unity, i can tell you that. will it look like dues ex mankind...hell no...better then pillars...hell yes...lol...hope that helped you out.

It's Larian. They don't need the best graphics, they have style.

[Lynchden]

Does the EE of the first one use 3.0? Or maybe 2.0? Just curious.

[Raze_Larian]

2.0; there have been several engine updates for D:OS 2, including physics based rendering for the graphics and lighting system.

Physics based lighting?

Quantum mechanics confirmed in D:OS2

[Chauden]

I think he meant Physical Based Rendering[blog.wolfire.com]. :P

Actually, most AAA studios use a pre-existing engine, for many, many reasons. The primary reason is that those engines already have many years of work put into them. With most things, such as linear lighting, real-time shadows, shader and material implementation, physics foundation, etc, there's not much point in "reinventing the wheel" when there's already a solid backbone with a decade of work put into it. Look up a lot of the games that you play and you'll be surprised that 95% of them are in a pre-existing engine.

With that said, Unity has some great looking games, too. It's all about how proficient the developers are. Just to name a few:

• Blizzard did a great job making Hearthstone in Unity.
• Then there's the ever-popular Ori And The Blind Forest, which is gorgeous, in Unity.
• Cities: Skylines looked great for when it was released as well, also in Unity.
• Endless Legend looks great and is one of the best 4x games I've ever played, also in Unity
• P.A.M.E.L.A. is gorgeous, also in Unity, but not released yet.

Unity was made with Pillars of Eternity. I really liked the game at 1st but then when I started playing Divinity it kicked Pillars butt big time. There is loading every single time going into anything with Pillars and I wasted IDK how long of game play just waiting for loading screens. There is no such thing on Divinity and it's dis sat me so much, I haven't gone back ever since to Pillars.

I love Pillars 1 and 2, but im still not throw POE 2, becasue the loading screens ruin the game for me. I thought there will be a huge improvement. Forgot that this is Unity :(
For a tiny house a loading screen, goodbye immerson
