To do that, however, we’ll need some rare Source Points.Ī new ability in Divinity: Original Sin II, called Spirit Vision, lets you see and chat to ghosts. Solution: we pull the face off a deceased dwarf, which we can then combine with a Shapeshifter Mask to fully transform Fane’s appearance into that of the dwarf whose face we nicked. To find out what happened, we can ask around at a local town, but they won’t let a skeleton in.
We open the demo on a grizzly scene: a caravan on its side, traders left slaughtered by the roadside, not even the bull’s life spared. Which brings us back to Face Rip-off and why Fane is using it. The lack of a face isn’t normally an issue in Divinity: Original Sin II, but as my parents told me during my teens, you can’t go through life with your hood up.
After having spent so long underground his flesh has also totally rotted away.
He’s spent the past few hundred years in a tomb, and after killing and eating his rescuer – a kindly dwarf who was mining in the area – Fane has emerged into a very different world from the one he left behind. Fane is a humanoid character from an ancient race called the Eternals. There are four races in Divinity: Original Sin II, but you can also play the game as an Undead variant of any of these races, like Fane, the new character in the demo I was shown at Gamescom 2017.

By this point I am utterly smitten with Larian Studios’ ludicrously ambitious sequel. Soon after that, I’m chatting to a dead bull who is doing a pretty subpar job of predicting my future.
For Divinity: Original Sin II, that moment manifested itself in my introduction to the rather brilliantly named Face Rip-off ability, which lets you tear the face off any corpse and, after some basic crafting, wear it like a mask. There’s a moment in every great game where you totally fall for it.
